Imagine yourself back in the golden ages of (insert your opinion of why 2016 was the golden age for a thing).

No Man's Sky is right around the corner and you are blissfully unaware of just how bad that game will be at launch. In your excitement you decide to upgrade your aging 550Ti. It has served you well, but it doesn't deserve to be subjected to the torture that NMS will dish out. If only you knew then what you know now.

Throwing caution to the wind, you sell your prized BMX bike to the kid down the street. Your days of doing sick jumps out in the desert are over, your future is among the stars. The bike only sold for like $40 because its 2016 and kids are into Roblox or something. Cash in hand you rush to your nearest online retailer and order up a beautiful new GTX 1070.

Times ticking down, the game is coming out and you're ready to go. Card installed and you fire up NMS for the first time...OH NO! How could they? What is this? You're prized BMX bike gone...your hopes for a doing busting some gnarly (insert BMX trick here) out on an ancient alien world withering....only sadness remains....AND YOUR AWESOME GTX 1070!

This card was a workhorse for its time and deserves to be live on in that hypothetical kids Roblox machine, or whatever they are into these days. Roblox 2?

Anyway, Buy this!

I don't know the full history of the card, came from the same E-Cycle job as everything else. Holds up great in Furmark, but repaste it and you will see some decent decreases in temp.
