Nice card. Passive cooled, so its nice and quiet, though for a short while after initial install it would 'squeal' under load. That was probably just the heatsink paste setting though.

I've been using this card for well over 2 years, never had any issues. Using the nvidia proprietary dirvers from 190.XX up to 270.30 currently. I've tested it with the nouveau drivers as well.

It's a great video card, but the system freezes using nvidia drivers > 29x.xx and have to revert (with manual install) to 285.x.
