Very impressed

SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card /ATI Eyefinity 100282VXSR
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card /ATI Eyefinity 100282VXSR

Pros: Bought 2 of these for crossfire setup, and I have to say i am impressed. As for the new dx11 games, they run bad company 2 well above 60fps maxed out. Temps are great even for crossfire. Top card never goes above 65 and bottom never goes above 60.

Cons: Kind of sad I couldn't get 60fps avg in metro 2033 maxed out, but thats to be expected I guess. The directx11 features put a lot of strain on these cards (80fps on dx10 vs 35 on dx11)

Overall Review: I definitely recommend these cards. Went with these over GTX 470 SLI and I'm happy that I did.

Get what you pay for

Pros: These knives are very cheap which is why i bought them.

Cons: The sliding knife stopped working, and I barely even used it.

Great Headphones

Pros: Excellent pair of Sennheiser headphones. I got these to replace my PC 360s, and I am very happy with them. The noise cancelling is great and the microphone is clear. Be warned that you will need to have a soundcard with a built in amplifier to get the full effect of these headphones, but once you do you will be amazed.

Cons: The only reason I took off one egg is because the headband advertised in the pictures is not the one that is actually part of the product. The actual headband is quite a bit smaller with less padding. A little bit deceiving, but it is still comfortable.

Excellent for 120hz gaming

EVGA SuperClocked w/ ACX Cooling 02G-P4-2774-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
EVGA SuperClocked w/ ACX Cooling 02G-P4-2774-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Went from a gtx 670 to this and there was a noticeable improvment. With GPU boost my card is running at a 1228Mhz core clock and is tearing through BF4. -Idles around 20-25 and never seems to go over 65 -Average noise output for a video card (I game with headphones on so noise isn't an issue) -Love the black and gold color scheme EVGA went with

Cons: None

Great Performance

Pros: I went from a fully custom loop with a triple radiator to this, and I have to say that temperature wise this performs just as well. Running an i5 3570k at 4.5 Ghz idling at around 30 degrees and peaking at around 50 under load. Easy to install and self contained, what more do you need?

Cons: Comes with pre-applied thermal paste but it is easy to apply your own if you wish.
