Decent price, even if it is an FE card. Now, not that it matters much, but since it is FE, is it FHR or LHR?

It is a Founders Edition. Appears to be a regular card looking up the model number.


FE cards do have lower power-limits and thus lower boost-clocks being a pure "reference" design however they're also MUCH smaller, thinner and cooler/quieter then most AIB cards plus their build-quality is better then most too.

If you don't plan on OC'ing your GPU much and especially if you are rocking a SFF PC or a pre-built with restricted space in the case for upgrades they're a very solid choice.

I always bought reference cards when water cooling, it was easier to find water blocks and they were cheaper.
