Hello everyone,
Got this card second hand a while back and ran it for a while just to test its performance with the community made Nimez drivers to gauge how big of a deal they were (and yeah holy hell, big uplift for modern titles). Fans needed to be replaced when I got them so these are aftermarket fans, they work perfectly, card stayed nice and cool during benchmarking , barely surpassing the 70C mark.
Shroud has minor damage to the plastic bits that connect it to the heatsink, but doesn't affect anything negatively.
For those who aren't super familiar with earlier GCN cards, this card performs similarly to an RX 470/RX 570, just a bit more power hungry, it is highly recommended that you do go and install the community made Nimez drivers for the best performance.
