Now i m very disappointed with the package contents, as the box is very big but only card, molex connector, cd and installation guide is there nothing else.

 Here's the 3dmark06 score:

3Dmark06 with graphic card overclocked to speeds of 4870 (ie core/memory 750/950 MHz)

Temps are also great:

Idle around 52c for the core and 59c for the memory as the memory doesn't hav direct contact with the heatsink.

Load temps are around 61c for core and 65-68c for memory.

I don't think the heatsink is the main contributor here for the lower temps as i don't think it's better than ICEQ4 but this card has advantage of 3 phase power design as other cards including HIS iceq4 hav 2 phase power design.

Crysis and Crysis warhead scores are amazing, 3dmark06 and far cry 2 score looks low considering DDR5, i hope far cry 2 fps can be improved with Quad core,
however, i think this card is the best in this price,

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
