Pros: Was fairly efficient when it ran (less than 6 months). It clobbered Battlefield 4 & Far Cry 3.

Cons: Only lasted between 5 and 6 months. Windows 7 would only boot to where the Windows symbol comes up but not to the login/username screen. (dark gray screen). Tried different drivers/versions of Catalyst. Reinstalled Windows 7. I spent hour and everything failed although oddly it WOULD boot into Safe Mode. Only got my computer to boot to Windows when I took out the 270X and put in my old 1 GB Nvidia card, and that only took minutes to get set up.

Overall Review: This was my first Radeon card. Quite probably will be the last -- the other 4 computers I built and still own (the wife & kids each have one) all have Nvidia cards. May get an EVGA / NVIDIA one.
