 Intro


Well I was absent for a while, as my old card died and now my replacement finally arrived. So in this part I will write a bit about the card and present some unboxing photos. In the second part I will benchmark the card on my build and we'll see the scores it gets with the latest driver at the moment of writing (390.77) at 1080p,1440p and 2160p(4k).

So now, a bit of info about the card.

Unboxing, ports and installation

The accessories included in the box are relatively bare-minimum. You get a power cable, a CD, a Quick Guide and 2x ROG Velcro Hook & Loop.

Opening the smaller box. Nice foam and a little package.

Top foam layer removed, rest of accesories and GPU revealed

The Power Cable and the 2 ROG Velcro Hook & Loops

The card finally revealed.The small strips above and under fans are RGB.

 The ports: 2xHDMI 2.0b, 2x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1x DVI-D. Any 4 of them can be used at once for multi-display setups

Visible side of the card. Republic of Gamers logo is RGB.

On this side of the card we have 2x PWM fan headers and an extra LED Strip header.

The backplate, as any backplate is 99.9% just for aestethics, it looks nice and we also have an RGB ROG logo here.

A little thing I learned from JayzTwoCents to  make the card less wobbly/saggy. Link

And the card is finally in the case! Yes, I'm one of those that use 2 different power cables for the card.

 

So that is all for today, coming soon in the second part, you will see some benchmarks with the latest driver, a good opportunity to see how it evolved since the early reviews done on the card on launch and how well it plays with a Ryzen CPU.
