My favorite game is Battlefield 4 and I can now play it with everything maxed out on my Apple 30 inch display at 2560x1600. I also have a side monitor and am able to have full screen video playing live from the Olympics.
Best yet the card plugged in and work perfectly with my 5 year old rig (it pays to buy premium parts to future proof your machine).
I'm sure people will buy a card like this for multi-monitor game. For my situation it's done everything I wanted.
Enjoy!

Does the job it's meant to do. I picked it up to improve my editing workflow and be able to preview files better in DaVinci Resolve. The difference from before I installed this card to now is night and day. To be fair, my previous graphics card was like a 512 GB, but still, definitely worth the investment to get rid of the headache of rendering alone. Haven't had a chance to try it out much with gaming yet, but I am sure it will do the job there as well.

Lives up to the hype. However it did have a little cool whine but I am told it is normal and it’s not annoying. I normally can’t hear it and it might be my PSU’s fault anyway.

Works great on 4k games. Not too much improvement over the 1070 but it is noticeable especially in shadows and overall speed. Can't go wrong with this card. No cons except the price

Great card, cool and quiet, no issues running the latest games at max settings on a 1440p G-Sync monitor. Card doesn't get loud and room doesn't get hot like with my older Titan X!!!!

A Monster of a Graphics Card!!!

I currently game in 4K at 50 to 60fps in mostly all of the latest games with everything maxed out while removing Antialiasing. However, some demanding games like GTA V, you will need to tinker shadows and grass to High and mostly everything else on Ultra. As you can see, you can game with this card on your 4K TV's with just a couple of settings reduced and everything maxed. I came from an Asus GTX 970 to this Monster of a card. The 1080 is quieter, stays relatively cooler at 82 C at heavy load (4K gaming) and way under for lesser tasks. The 1080 has a sleek transformers look to it and also has a smaller footprint than my old 970. Incredible!!!

I love the graphics really good with rottr digital. Heats up and you need to close the game. You may need additional cooling for your rig. Other than that well worth the purchase.

So glad I kept this in my cart! I am not one to buy used graphics cards with all the farming and whatnot going on (it wears your graphics cards drastically).
The swap was easy! This card uses an 8pin power connection instead of 6pin. The color, speed, power, etc is great. I'm set for awhile now. The graphics card is physically better looking as well (vs my 1060). I'm not in a rush for the new Nvidia graphics cards due to the focus of them. My new 1080 will power my games, Adobe, etc. with ease.
I recommend this card! I hope you can catch it in stock :)

I was nervous this wouldn't work but upgraded my Asus AJ20 with this card and was able to play Witcher 3 on 4K mode. Awesome! Note: Side Case modded and runs 78 Celsius.

I bought 2 of these two months ago when they were below MSRP(589) and have been pleased with their performance. With two of these most games can run at 4k ultra near or above 60fps(if sli is supported.) If you download msi afterburner you can squeeze a little more performance by tweaking the fan curve to keep it cooler or overclock if you do not mind voiding your warranty. If you are looking for top tier performance their are only 2 other options of which are still very expensive with only one beating the performance of 2 in sli for almost 3 times the cost. Highly recommended

After praying to my God Gaben I opened Best Buy page to discover 1 was left in stock. His holiness has answered my prayers. A week later it came in a sexy box. I opened it and after being blinded by its beuty, popped it in my case. It shreks every game I throw at it, hungry for more. The power... its overwhelming. With such power, how could such a mere mortal as I even comprehend its true being? - Valve Cultist Doritos

Got this to replace my GTX 970 SLI set up, and this thing blows both of them away, running games at max settings with a more stable smooth framerate. It's a bit pricey at $700, but you're getting some future proof power in this thing, as a single one of these will run most games at 4K with framerates around 40-60fps, which is more than playable, especially at max settings. Great GPU!
