1.0 out of 5 stars(Worse card ever) (Worst support ever)(don't buy. 10% lemon and no support)
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016
I am livid. I bought this part to meet a deadline for an architectural rendering. There is nowhere that I can find, where it says that I need a 6pin to 8pin power cable adapter. In fact, I am worried that in will not work, even, with the adapter. So I may lose money,(15%) if I return it to Amazon, open box. Worse yet, will I may need to buy another PSU, even though my existing PSU has ample power. Albeit a 6pin connector.
I'm giving it 2 stars, because it is partially my fault for not doing further research. The product, itself, may be a 5 Star. But I still miss my Deadline by 2 days, just to order an adapter that should have been included. Arrrgghhh!
I will update this review...in 2-3 days.
Product update:
"I am extremely disgruntled with your level of tech support. It has been 10 days and there has been no contact from your team. I am stuck with a $429 piece of crap because I can no longer return to Amazon. I will no longer buy ASUS products."
This is the response I sent to ASUS Tech support. They basically stopped responding for 10 days. They offered no solution and asked one sentence questions. It seemed as if they were stalling to keep me from sending it back to Amazon
The Problem: With the card installed, my system would crash at temperature of 108C. Online I found people who had taken off the back cover and turned the box on it side. I tried that and was able to get it down to 96C. I then added an external fan which allowed it to drop within safe range of 60-80C. But it would still crash.
I have lost $429 and $23,000 because I could not provide my client with his rendering and animation. My system is running perfectly with the original nVidia card.
Oh. And to the commenter who said " How can I expect the manufacturer to know my pin setup". Well the Radeon cards offer adapters in their box. I should have bought a Radeon.
11 month later, 2 power supplies, numerous cables, new RAM and still it works for about an hour before hanging or crashing.This is the worst $500 bucks of my life. I want my money back, a warranty exchange, and an apology. I got a lemon.
