I purchased one of these a couple weeks ago now and I've been using it for almost a week, and I figured I'd share some of the most important things I've encountered. 1. As far as I can tell, the display priority is HDMI > DisplayPort. I have 4 displays connected (two monitors via DisplayPort converted to DVI, one TV via DisplayPort converted to HDMI, and one VR headset via HDMI (however it is not powered on when not in use and not detected by the GPU when not powered on)). When I boot my PC, my BIOS is displayed on my TV, no matter how much I mess with the cables. On my previous GTX 970, the priority was DVI > HDMI > DisplayPort, and I think this is true of all Nvidia GPUs with no way to change it. As such, this is relevant to all Nvidia GPUs, not just this card in particular. 2. This card does not have a fan shut-off mode at idle, as far as I can tell, and I can't reduce the fan speed below 30% in MSI Afterburner. I can reduce it to 0% in Zotac's own FireStorm application, but as far as I could tell that didn't actually change anything and it was still running at 30%. Honestly, at that speed it isn't audible over my 3 140mm case fans all spinning at ~700 RPM, but if you want absolute silence at idle this GPU probably isn't for you. 3. This GPU (and I believe -all- Zotac GPUs) has a blue LED on the bottom of the card (facing the motherboard) that pulses when the card is operating normally, and is either static lit or unlit when the card has issues. It's very subtle and even in complete darkness, I can't see it unless I look directly at the card, but if you're like me and you've tried to eliminate all lights in your build (I hate RGB) this should definitely be a consideration. I didn't it see mentioned anywhere until I noticed it after installing my GPU and looked it up, so I wanted to make potential buyers aware. If you're running RGB on your RAM, mobo, etc, I highly doubt you'd ever notice it. Aside from those details, I have only positive things to say about this GPU so far. I've benchmarked a few games as well as Unigine Heaven (1440p, ultra settings, extreme tessellation, 8x MSAA), and so far my highest recorded temperature was 61c (ambient ~21c) and my highest fan speed on the default fan curve was 40% (1300 RPM if I remember correctly). At 40% fan speed, it was barely audible over my case fans. I spent a lot of time deciding between all the various 2060 Super cards available, and I chose this one because - honestly - I thought it looked the best out of all the options. After using it, I can safely say the thermal performance lives up to what you'd expect from a beefy, 3 fan cooler. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this card to anyone looking at 2060 Supers.Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Card performs well, however, after a month of use, the right side fan makes a rattling noise, Very loud on startup, and moderate noise when in constant use. This was a used card, so I do get what I pay for.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Fits well in mini itx cases, and the two fans keep temps low. Also quiet
