Bought this to replace an aging GTX760 and the only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Compared several versions of this card on a handful of sites and read forums as well. Ultimately I chose the Gigabyte because I run a Gigabyte Mobo and have been well pleased with it's performance and reliability, and it has the extra cooling capacity which is important for where my computer sits and what I run on it.Installation was seamless, and the gaming performance improvement is noticeable.I also run BOINC and the calculation results increased over 100% increase in performance in a few days and was still climbing before I added new projects to work on. The CUDA calculations have a huge impact and allow me to crunch projects specifically designed for cards with this technology. Even running all CPU(i7) and GPU cores at 100% capacity the temperatures stay within a good operating range.The only blip in all of this, which, so far as I can tell doesn't affect what I want to do with the card, is the AORUS graphics software that installed with the card. It's kind of buggy and kept crashing over the first few days after install. Once I looked over what the software was doing I decided I didn't need it to autoload, so I disabled it. Figure if I need it, I'll start it then.The price per performance ratio is excellent.After running this card for three months now I am still satisfied with it. A few updates: Have experienced an occasional driver crash, which the system generally recovers from, though it has on a few instances also corrupted the data set BOINC was crunching. As for the Aorus software - it's crap! I upgraded to the latest version (1.26) and the experience has been horrible. From the point I installed it I got the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. Over the course of 3 days after install I got more BSDs (at least five). Even uninstalled and reinstalled and it still craters my system. I cannot recommend the software, and without it, adjusting the card appears to not be possible. Maybe when another version comes out, I'll try again and hope it doesn't tank my system. Fan of the card, not the software application that comes with it.
