Frustrating Game Crashes
Pros: This card works fine for moderately graphics intense games like Skyrim, Dishonored, Borderlands 2. No problem at all cranking up the settings to ultra.
Cons: If you'd like to play BF4 for more than a few minutes without it crashing on you, this is not the card for you. We initially thought it was driver related, some people said it was a DirectX issue. So we attempted every "fix" we could find to no avail. Most recently we adjusted the card fans to run much faster. No luck. Now reading the reviews after it has been out awhile, it is really sad to see we are not alone---there is a serious problem with these cards and since we've had it for a number of months now, we can no longer RMA. We are out nearly $700. Our Dream Build has been terribly frustrating because of this one component.
Overall Review: The price on this card is no one near low enough to risk having the problems we've had. I would avoid Gigabyte cards, especially when you're looking at such an expensive, high-end card. Not worth the possible problems.
