Soldato
Got to play with one of these earlier, had a lil bit of time to run a couple benchmarks and games.
The box ! What do you get in the box? Not much. A voucher for £90 in some games I would likely never play and an adapter thingy.
It's kinda cool looking imho, compact but solid sort of look. Decent selection of ports on the rear HDMI, Dual Link DVI and Display Port.
Benchmarks.
Nvidia GeForce 340.43 Driver (BETA)
Intel 4790K / GTX 750 Ti.
Benchmarks were run with clocks at 1400Mhz on the core and + 655 on the memory 1678Mhz
(During benchmarking, the card remained silent and never exceeded 55c, card is inaudible)
3D Mark 11
Score P7003

Unigine Valley 1.0
Score P1094
Games.
Tested @ 1440P Resolution
Titanfall.
Was able to run these settings pictured below at a steady 60fps with occasional drop to around 50fps during intense action. At 1080P I imagine higher settings would be obtainable. For 1440P this isn't bad at all.
Battlefield 4.
Preset 'Medium' @ 1440P.
Was able to keep a near enough solid 60fps with very few drops in both in single player and multiplayer. Impressive for such a cheap card.
------------------------
For the money, this is a great little card. It's quiet to the point you don't even know it's there. Even when overclocked under max load. The performance @ 1440P was surprising, most likely this card would be used for 1080P so even better game settings may be achievable.
In desktop use the card clocks down incredibly low, movie playback etc was spot on.
For someone looking for a cheap gaming card, this is ideal. It has the advantages of extremely low power use, big overclock potential and the cooler is inaudible.
