My card arrives Friday. Looking forward to it!
hope your luck is better than mine so far. will try fresh os tonight but clean driver install on w10 (stripped) did not produce anything notable here. to say it was a disappointing first session would be a major understatement.
some notes:
-the cable adapters are ridiculous, however on the LN2 bios and very mild voltage bumps I was drawing up to 568w. I only have 1 PMD but all the 8 pins running through it were drawing 145w peak, so i'm not sure how to read this other than the 8 pins supply a LOT of power to the board, but much of it is not used even at max load on the stock cooler
-stock temps are...not great. peaking in the low 50s. with no water block to fit, i suppose this means this card will need LN2 to stretch its legs even a little
-first card for me may just be a flat out dud. compared to the clocks Luumi was pushing on the stock aio, my max that would pass PR is nearly 200 mhz worse on mem. core would do up to +120ish but that was definitely not the best scoring core clock. sweet spot for scoring was closer to +100 and i think my best boost clock was around 2160. so yeah, leaning towards dud until i can get some more time with it/test the other card coming today.
i'll get a few pictures up in a bit. hope y'all have better bins than mine!
