Cons: - Triple slot(Not a big deal at all)

Pros: - Excellent Price-Performance (y299) - Plays everything at 1080p
Comment:
Couple things that a few drivers could straighen out but other than that I quiet like this card and recommend the most it since the R9 series is glorified 7970GHz Editions, and the GHz edition itself is less overclockable. 1080P is no big deal for this card but some games just slaughter my card *ie FarCry 3. This could be my card but the filers and lighting seem to bring it down to 30fps. Ghosts is locked p92Ffps, and yes, it plays Minecraft, at 2600Fps.

Cons: Fat and heavy, takes up three slots, make sure your mobo has enough empty slots to take it.

Pros: Great overclocker, even without changing voltages got it to 1100/6000.Cool and quiet with the DirectCU2 cooler and big fans.Basically same card as the new R9 280.Will support AMD Mantle API
Comment:
I picked up this card a week ago to replace my old 5879, to get better frame rates in BF4.Observations:1. Overclocks very easily, I have it running at 1100 GPU clock, 4 x 1500 = 6000 memory clock. No need to change any voltages.2. When I first installed the card, I also installed GPU Tweak (ASUS overclocking interface). It lets you play with voltages. I was getting a lot of screen tearing and flickering, couldn't figure out why, so uninstalled GPU Tweak and used the Catalyst Overdrive utility instead (which does not let you mess with voltages). Again, I set it to run at 1100 GPU/6000 memory using Catalyst Control Centre.3. The screen tearing and flickering was driving me nuts, I was ready to RMA the card. Tried everything... different versions of Catalyst drivers, messing around with Flash settings, messing around with CPU overclock settings, reverting back to 925 GPU/5500 memory (default). Finally, changed my monitor cable from DVI to Displayport. Voila, everything is good (knock on wood).4. Cooler on card is fabulous, main reason I purchased it. Low fan speeds, cool GPU.5. This card shares the same PCB as the new R9 280, in fact it is basically an R9 280. When AMD releases their new Mantle API in December, the 7970 will be supported.I am happy with this card, now that the screen flickering seems to be solved (bad DVI cable).

Cons: Loud, Large

Pros: High Overclock, Cool, Great name

Bought 2 of these for a new build while they were on sale. The coolers are far too loud for my liking but a pair of waterblocks fixed that easily haha. Great cards!

Cons: This card is massive and seems to throw alot of heat into the case

Pros: Powerful - runs multiple monitors with ezWell Built
Comment:
Exellent card, powerful, well built, and versatile. Make sure you check the size of this card out to make sure it will fit in your system before making the purchase but for me it fit easly in my Thermaltake Chaser Mk 1 with room to spare. Planning to get a second card to run in crossfire soon. Note; does seem to throw alot of heat into the case... exhaust port on the card is only about half of a slot the other 2 slots it takes up is just heatsink and card... with that said the GPU core temps even under heavy load seem to be ok its the case temps that seem to have gone up...

Pros: Powerful card, looks amazing, great cooler.
Comment:
I haven't received my cards yet but with all the reviews I've done this should be an amazing card, these should be just what I need and for $269.00 I couldn't resist. I bought two of these for a crossfire configuration. I thought of getting an R9 series card but being new on the market they probably are going to be overpriced for not much more performance.

Cons: - Takes 3 Slots- Loud when fans at 100%- need large case- Display ports only single link? Because I couldn't choose 120Hz for the life of me. Had to use the DL DVI (yes, with the same cable) for 120Hz. (I maybe doing something wrong, but a couple of nights playing with the settings, and I still couldn't get it to 120 on display port, regardless of which one).

Pros: - Great for gaming at 120Hz, or on triple LCD setup.- Looks Great!- Quiet when fan set to Auto- 3GB DDR5- Best AMD Single GPU on the market (until Hawaii)!
Comment:
OK for those into overclocking; best I got was 1075 core and 1500 memory, stable at stock voltage (1.175v), power control settings remained at 0. Even if I increased the power control to 20%, I still couldn't overclock passed 1075 on the core with stability. Memory could go higher, but didn't seem to play much on the frames, so I left it at 1500 speeds.Max OC when stress testing was 1175 on the core and the memory to 1750 on the memory; this setting always failed in almost every game I played. So, I left it at 1075/1500 for stability.Unfortunately, you can't change vcore through software, it is hardware locked. Tried so many things, from Trixx, to MSI Afterburner hack for voltage mod, to Asus GPU Tweak, to even trying changes in the regedit. I may try the VGA Hotwire method, but not too keen on soldering my new card.I'm happy because this card definitely overclocked easily to GHz speeds; 1050/1500 with CCC (even a little more with 1075 core).Finally, playing BF3 at higher frames on Ultra makes the game look so much smoother. I do set 0xAA for better frames, trying to keep the games above 120Hz, and still play at 1680x1050 on my 2233rz.One star removed because I can't get the display port to work at 120Hz ... only 60Hz (had to use DVI cable for 120Hz). Until I get the DP to 120Hz, I'm only giving 4 stars.Card is huge ... goes with the bragging rights I guess.

Cons: First card died within 3 daysSecond card is DOA, it won't even boot into windows (gray screen with stripes)

Pros: Is fastCools really wellQuiet
Comment:
The card is fast, quiet and cool, when it works. First card just collapsed after 2 days. I would get either blue screen (not BSOD, but just blue) or gray screen.Second card was DOA. Wouldn't even boot into windows and just either gave gray screen with stripes or black screen.This was my first ASUS product, and I did heard bad reviews about their brand, especially with the motherboards. No more ASUS for me in the future that's for sure. Such a headache1 STAR if I could but I bought this card directly from the shop and apparently I don't have an order #, and the invoice is not accepted

Awesome graphics card, powerful and quiet but because of the size it won't work on every motherboard or case.

Cons: confusing initial set up for 120hz monitor

Pros: good OC capabilitygreat card110$ off
Comment:
Overall this is a phenomenal card. Unfortunately only one of the DVI ports is a dual link DVI so you can only run one monitor at 120hz if you happen to have 2 that are both. If your monitors are display port you can run all 4 at 120hz and then 2 more at 60 for all 6. There is a switch located on the card that turns the 1 DVI into a dual link but this disables a display port.
