Here it is my new gpu to replace the old 470 that died after about 15 months of non-stop mining. I chose XFX again, because the fans are easy to remove and the card is super easy to clean.
This is just an unboxing, if you would like I could also do it in video form in the future, so please tell me in the comments.
The box looks good, not that that's important, but hey this is an unboxing, so the box is part of the story.
There is not much in the box, just regular paperwork, no adapters or anything.
The design is not my favorite, the red fans make the card look kind of cheap, but the plastic used and overall feel of the card does not give that impression.
And here is the reason I bought this card, the little bios switch, located by the 8-pin power connector. If you mess something up while doing a bios mod, you can simply switch to the other bios and you are done. Additionally, you can have one bios for gaming, and the other for mining.
Having a backplate is always a plus.
And we are done here :) I hope you liked this post. If you want more posts like this, about mining and similar guides and reviews, let me know in the comments.
Have a great day!
