$20.
 
I had almost 200 evga bucks so I figured "what the heck" and went for it.
 
In other news, the thing is a beast at DC projects and I can now hang with you 1080 guys!
Almost hits 2Ghz on boost at stock FTW settings.

No matter what color it is I am sure it will do very well crunching and folding.
Good luck with it.

I kinda miss the teal color originally posted on the elite page and still shown on the product page. But the true blue is still nice enough, though I'll deserve judgement until I receive it. Mine will also face down in my dg87 case. It also might wind up underwater if they release an FTW3 hybrid kit.

Nope no pizza and wings, bummer.
 
Bunkering away a few tasks for the sprint.
 
Why would someone complain about a thread. If they do not like the thread, stay the hell out.

So, how's that beast of a card doing?

OC'ed to the pretty standard limit of about 2060MHz no problem.
Using the individual fan control, this card easily stays cooler than any other GPU I've owned while staying quiet.
(GPU fan speeds up but others can stay at lower RPM)
In the 50s C, mid 60s at the highest (it was warm in here today) at max OC.
 
Ran folding a bit at ~1.2M ppd which was nice, now it's blasting through some MilkyWay.
Haven't even played a game on the thing yet.
 
The color saga continues, but at least EVGA updated the product photos.

1.2 million PPD, dang, I bet it took me a year or more to get my first million points LoL.
Just a couple years ago would had to spent 5 thousand on quad Intel e5-4650 octo cores (used) doing bigadv to get 1mil PPD
Should do well on GPUgrid too.

Just a couple of years ago, pair of 980ti for 1 million PPD and change.
 
 CPU folding is SO .... 20xx's?

2014, 2015.
Right before the 980ti came out, GPUs were not paying all that well and CPUs bigadv were the way to go to get huge PPD
Maybe my couple should of been a few, but you get the point.
