I think i have fallen in love for this card  its so beautiful. The backplate such a beauty.

Okay enough drooling. I am upgrading from 660ti running three monitors( 2 1080p and 1 1440p) and going to play games on the 1440p. How much of a difference would i notice? How good is the cooler going to be? Does amd have a control panel to adjust desktop colors?

1. Yes. With 3 1440p monitors id say youd notice a considerable difference.

2. The cooler will be fairly good but I dont know about how loud.

3. Yes.

If you want to be gaming at 1440P the extra 2GB of VRAM will REALLY help. Also that cooler is pretty great and will keep that card cool. You could sell you 660TI to regain some money from buying this beast.

 

PS:It does look f***ing sexy though.

My Current Build: 

Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.11V, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, Asus GTX 760 DCII Overclocked, Corsair CX600M

not as sexy as 700 series reference  :P

nah jks its pretty darn sexy. especially in an aqua build....awwhhhh all the yes

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

I would try Craigslist first so you don't have to worry about shipping and if no ones buys it on Craigslist put it up on eBay :)

 

PS: Glad we all could help :)
