Summary
Yes, physics is a serious science, not a stretchy field of activity of modern utopians. And so the same restrictions apply to single-slot cards as we have known for years. If you can accept this for yourself, because you are looking for a really flat, but still quite fast graphics solution, then you can definitely find what you are looking for here.
After our small intervention, which everyone can do for themselves without any problems, this card is fully suitable for everyday use and has been proven to be no slower than a GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition. Due to the smaller radiator area and the smaller fan, it is of course also a little louder, but also a little cooler than Nvidia's reference design. This in turn leads to a significantly improved boost behavior, which even helped us to save a whopping 12-14 watts in the end – depending on the.
Of course, it's not very nice to have to make these changes yourself as a customer, but we are hopeful that Galax/KFA2 will be able to get the new BIOS settings through Nvidia's review. If the green giant locks itself in here, the hand-held operation will still remain. Schnappatmung at the 90°C upper limit must not and must not be, all those involved simply have to remind themselves.
Our judgment is rather mild in view of the other advantages, because we have found many details that make this card seem sympathetic. Of course, we can't award an award, at least not without new BIOS. But then it would probably be the extra-niche purchase recommendation award for ultra-thin graphic that not everyone has (or needs). As a special technical solution, however, the card is the first (and also the only) choice and therefore (currently) no alternative.
Conclusion
It's definitely not for Kevin Normalgamer, who is looking for a brisk, quiet, overclocking and bling-bling-covered sign-card. But there are also exceptional situations where you as a thicker no longer fit into the overcrowded bus, even if you may pull your belly in. But then the hour of the really thin beats, which still fit in even if normal or overweight people have to wait for the next one. As long as there is enough air to breathe, the thing is scribbled.
