Temps are nice also,

and nice overclocking too

and excellent performance

More power hungry than a 1080 even without the OC though?

Perf / $ is still in favor of other 1070s as well

Good for quiet but pricey and oddly uses a lot of power. Think thats an MSI thing though they don't seem to limit power usage very well.

Would be interesting to see it undervolted.

yea whats up with MSI cards always using more power.? Something is up with that.
Me personally , I'm not to picky about super quiet but there is plenty of people out there that would pay extra for quiet.

Thank you Bacon.

I've had two cards with that Twin Frozr HSF (GTX 960 and GTX 970). I never once hear either over the case fans. Definitely one of the best designs out there.

For all intents a silent card.

But, as Bacon said, the power consumption...Kinda doesn't make sense, it's the coolest and quietest card, but yet has the highest power consumption 😕

Nice review; solid card.

In this case, worth it!

Good Load Temps and OC Potential?

I like it.
Need to see a roundup though to really determine. I'd recommend that though. I'm really liking MSI for Nvidia cards.

MSI over engineers the power delivery on their cards. Also having two fans instead of one doesn't help either. Overall MSI has very poor perf/w on their custom variants with Nvidia and AMD based cards.
