Pros: Pretty RGB, nice components, nice heat sink, nice design

Cons: Vcore sag, instability, unstable firmware/bios, constant crashes, BSOD on 100% stock settings/cold freezing, you name it I have tried every single update and driver possible this thing just will not run correctly let alone it's impossible to get any stability out of it... voltage just won't hold on ram and CPU 3200 ram think again won't work forget it.

died after 4 years

Pros: Epic Card is all i have to say I bought this card back on 10/3/2013 and I've been running this card for over a year now and it really will surprise you how fast it really is. I ordered the Back plate from EVGA to add that extra wow factor on heat dissipation and its a great card im not going to sit here and list good things about the card because i haven't found any flaw with it everything is perfect great card and the price now is awesome if your looking at this just buy it

Cons: none
