5 out of 5 eggsA beast

Pros: -Plays everything on ultra with very high frame rates.
-This card is a beast and should last me for awhile.

Cons: -None

Other Thoughts: I bought this card for a new gaming build and I have not been disappointed. It plays all the games I throw at it on ultra settings without a problem. I am currently playing Shadow of Mordor with the Ultra pack. The specs for the Ultra pack say it requires 6GB VRAM. This card has 4GB and I still average over 70 FPS.

1 out of 5 eggsNot worth it...good til heat takes over then its sweat city!!!

Pros: Can heat the House with it in the winter..or cook some eggs.

Cons: I wrote a review but didn't see it so didn't know if it went through but anyway...STAY AWAY!!!! Cards are insanly hot i got 2 of these about a month apart for crossfire. i have 7 fans on my case first card ran pretty warm thought nothing of it its a gigabyte ya know thought the new cooler would help it from the horror stories and when i got the second card WOW was it even hotter the HEAT from these things i can warm my whole house with it in the winter time and thats not a joke...The vrm on these things hit about 100c or more I also tried DOWN Clocking but why would you want to do that if i bought the OC ones, and the core 95c or more...tried water cooling still hit high temps. Tried opening my case with a Mini fan right next to it and STILL high temps.Reconfigured my fans in the case STILL HOT.STAY FAR FAR FAR away like star wars...

Other Thoughts: TOO HOT!! But i think you get the picture.

2 out of 5 eggsHOT cards can't keep them cool at all.

Pros: don't see any pros for this card or maybe its both my cards but i have 2 of these i just bought

Cons: HOT HOT HOT...these cards are HOT even with the fans at 100 percent i still hit 95c and higher on these cards. It was fine with 1 card still had high temps but when i added the second card for crossfire. I can heat my house with how much heat is created by these cards...Even with the cooler new cooler.. I also water cooled the older card and still had high temps. i think i am gonna stop buying AMD cards...these things are insanely hot.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome Card for the price.

Pros: This is a very powerful card. Ive compared alot of benchmarks before buying it and for the price it ranked very well. The card is super fast and will run any game on high resolution and high settings without a problem. People in previous reviews complained about overheating and noise levels of the fans and ive had no problems in that area. Card runs 44 C - 65 C without problems.

Cons: This card is huge. I had to take out my hardrive cage to make room for this card. Also added some extra fans in that area to create a better air flow. This card will require alot of room and you will need good air flow.

5 out of 5 eggsSolid Choice in the $300-400 range.

Pros: 1) Runs at 75 degree celsius MAX on games like Crysis 3, Metro Last Light/2033 Redux, Witcher 2, Planetside 2, Max Payne 3, Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, Arma 3 etc.

2) Rarely ever revs up over 40% fan speed. Sometimes it'll kick up to 70% for a minute. Also very good at maintaining a constant speed instead of constantly revving up and down.

3) It will play ANYTHING at 1080p 60 fps. Only a few games like Crysis 3, Metro Redux, Assassins Creed IV Black Flag will you have to turn down your AA to achieve 60 fps. If not, say running at MSAA 4x or SSAA 2x you will still achieve in the mid-40 fps.

4) Though I think you can use it for any gpu, OC Guru from Gigabyte is about as simple as it gets when it comes to overclocking your gpu.

5) Even though it's almost 11 inches long (like 195 mm or something) it does not sag. This is accomplished with a brace running along the top/front of the card long ways.

6) Easy to clean the dust out as there isn't a solid case covering the heat sinks/pcb.

7) Dark blue PCB. I think it looks cool.

Cons: 1) Long card. This is one of the longest cards on the market. You need about 11 inches clearance if you don't want this card rubbing against your HDD cages.

Honestly, I can't think of anything other cons from my personal experience.

Other Thoughts: This is a solid card. It destroys every game I've thrown at it and I have over 200 games in my Steam library. If you're on the fence about getting AMD or Nvidia (like I was) I'd take a look at the new Nvidia 970 and 980. They are solid alternatives and I almost wish I would have waited 5 more months. As the 970 matches it in performance but is $30-40 cheaper. Plus, Nvidia generally has more "special" additional features like G-sync, Phys-x etc. If you are an AMD user and plan to stay that way you can overclock this baby and get R9 290x default performance. If you only have $350-400 to spend, this IS your card. It's solid in every aspect and in a year or two you could Crossfire these beasts and still play at 60 fps 1080p Ultra settings.

1 out of 5 eggsstay away

Pros: None.

Cons: overheating, crashing/freezing, managed to mediate that problem (kinda) with a bios update, now I can actually make 10 seconds into windows, had to underclock to keep it from constantly from constently crashing my system.

Hoping I don't end up like another guy, who tried to get a replacement and got same card back 'fixed' by the amazing people at gigabyte.

Other Thoughts: Will never buy from gigabyte again, and you shouldn't either.

1 out of 5 eggsbad

Pros: None

Cons: Craving pc after a month of use.. Water cooling it so no overheating problems but constant blue screens and on and off horizontal lines on my screen. Reformatted, tried all drivers and every PCI e slot and nothing was working until I placed my old graphic card in. 400 bucks waste

1 out of 5 eggsNeeds to be returned for a replacement

Pros: Runs graphics amazingly well when it is working.

Cons: Crashes computer and freezes constantly. At intervals anywhere between 5 seconds and 2 hours during basic gameplay. Unacceptable for the price, hopefully a replacement works out and this is just a defective unit.

2 out of 5 eggsThis card is hot

Pros: Is fantastic until it warms up

Cons: HOT HOT HOT, When in use MUST have a external fan focused directly on the gpu fans.

Other Thoughts: Seems like very lightweight cooling compared to other graphic cards. Thick, widely spaced fins compared to others with more densely packed cooling fins.
I don't want to swap for better cooling and void the warranty in case it ever completely fubars
