Pros: - Blazing fast and cool, able to get a stable overclock at just over 2000 MHz after 10 mins at 99% load in SLI. With an aggressive fan profile, the top (hotter) card in SLI stays under 70C without as much noise as I was expecting. - Aura RGB can be set to reflect core temperature without GPU Tweak. It's a nice (rough) temperature indicator for when you can't/don't want to open up monitoring software. - FanConnect works without GPU Tweak. You can't set a custom profile, but the fans spin up at 60C and stop again when the temperature reaches idle levels. - Single card sped up my Redshift renders by 25-40% compared to the Strix 980 Ti OC.

Cons: - Thicker than previous-generation Strix cards, so having two of them in a motherboard with three slots per PCIe x16 makes them sit VERY close together. Top card temps are consistently 8-10C hotter than the bottom card, up from 5-7C in my setup with a 980 Ti + 780. Still, it's not as thick as some other options (Gigabyte Aorus, Zotac Amp Extreme).

Overall Review: I needed two cards to upgrade my dual-GPU rendering setup, so these seemed ideal based on my past experience with Strix's very good cooling and the fact that they aren't quite as thick as some of the other custom options. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these overclocked to speeds comparable to the OC Edition, although that might be luck of the draw. FanConnect is also a nice feature; I use it to connect to a large side fan, and having it not running all the time cuts down on dust (and power usage). It's great that it works without GPU Tweak, as I much prefer Afterburner. I've now owned 9 Asus GPUs and 2 Asus motherboards, and I've only ever had a problem with one GPU, which developed a fan problem and was replaced by Asus within a week of RMA. Hopefully that track record continues and these last for a long time. Overall, this card seems like a nice improvement over the FE, with vendor-specific features that can actually be pretty useful. If you aren't obsessed with getting those extra few guaranteed MHz from the OC Edition, you can save some cash by grabbing one of these.

Pros: Solid, low profile, fast so far Decently priced Arrived very fast, as usual - thanks, Newegg

Cons: Failed to POST when installed into the A2/B2 slots, which ASUS recommends for "best compatibility." Installing into the A1/B1 slots works fine so far, with proper clock speeds & timings. Chalking this up to a BIOS issue for now, which I haven't updated in a long time

Overall Review: Upgraded from my old Corsair 8GB kit because my system was pushing 7+ GB of RAM usage with multiple content creation programs open. Now I'm free to load whatever I want and not have to worry about swapping. Everything also feels a bit snappier now, which is a nice bonus.

Pros: Runs cool, stable at decent overclock, relatively quiet Heat dispersion is impressive - lets me run at lower fan RPMs Power connector LEDs are a nice touch

Cons: Expensive, but not much more than expected Idle temps are strangely high...low- to mid-30s, but that is probably because the fans are barely running Windows 7 initially wouldn't recognize 2nd card, but a complete driver uninstall/reinstall fixed the problem for me (Asus P8Z77-V PRO mobo)

Overall Review: I have been running two of these at a +150 MHz core overclock regularly for a few weeks now and have had no problems whatsoever. (Not stable for me at +200 when stressing the VRAM, but I don't really need that extra 50 MHz.) I have been using them primarily for GPU-based rendering, where the 6GB is necessary for large scenes (Octane) and/or substantially increases rendering speed (Redshift). The 50% more CUDA cores and 50% more VRAM over the GTX 770 4GBs are a godsend for this kind of work. Compared to my old Windforce GTX 770s, these cool off at FAR lower fan RPMs, which is great, since this means less noise and less dust. I am using an aggressive fan profile via MSI Afterburner, and even for extended renders or FurMark, it's tough for me to push the top card above 55C. My old cards would regularly hit the low- to mid-60s with the fans at 100%. I guess those fancy heatsink/pipes really work! Price-wise, it's about 50% more than the initial GTX 770 4GB price, for 50% more cores and memory...so that seems fairly reasonable, compared to the Titans. The 780Ti may still be king for gaming, but for my applications, the 6GB is definitely worth it at this price. I'm glad I waited for Asus to come out with one - unlike EVGA, MSI, and Gigabyte, I have never had an Asus card or component fail on me, and this DirectCU technology really seems to work.

Pros: Fast (duh), very nice cooling, super stable, very solid. Backplate is a nice touch

Cons: 4GB version sold out and can't find it anywhere anymore! :( Default settings made it run too hot for me; GPU-z a bit frustrating

Overall Review: I bought the 4GB version because I need the extra VRAM for my rendering software. I've used this card in two ASUS motherboards now, and it's been rock solid in both so far when used on its own, even under extended loads with stress tests and (more importantly) games and rendering software. I haven't tried to push the OCing, but on the other hand, it boosts to 1175Mhz by default until the temp gets too high. Which brings me to my only complaint: A number of external reviews said they couldn't push it beyond around 70C, but mine initially reached 80C easily. This is a problem, because by default it will reduce clock speed when it hits 80C, in order to limit the temperature. When I increased the limit to 88C manually, it had no trouble getting up there, either. It seems the fan speed adjustment just doesn't like to turn the fans on very high by default (or maybe my installation got messed up). When I manually set the fans to go to 90-100% speed at appropriate temperatures, it seems to top out in the low 70s, which is great. Unfortunately, the software that Asus gives you to do this, GPU-z, doesn't seem to have an option to automatically load settings when you startup, so you have to manually load them every time you start Windows. Very frustrating, but MSI Afterburner seems to do the trick (although there are some settings you can't access, like target max temperature). That's a lot of words for a pretty small gripe, though; not going to deduct eggs since the problem is easily solvable. Overall, great card so far - wish I could get another one!

Pros: Solid construction, intuitive BIOS, has all the features I need and no useless "extras"

Cons: CUDA errors - possibly software-related (see below)

Overall Review: I bought this as an upgrade to my P8H67-M PRO because the latter board could not fit multiple Geforce cards due to the SATA cable layout. Current specs: Intel i7 2600 3.4 GHz 8GB Corsair RAM Asus GTX 770 4GB EVGA GTX 650Ti BOOST 2GB Seasonic X-Series 850W I get a CUDA error/crash when rendering certain scenes with both GPUs in Octane Render. Not a power issue as Folding@Home and other benchmarks are stable even when stressing both GPUs and CPU to full capacity. Both cards work fine on their own. It's possibly an issue with Octane, but also possible that this board "expects" SLI and hiccups when using different GPUs (especially with different architectures, like the two above). I'll be replacing the 650Ti with another 770 when it arrives. If SLI works without problems, I'll probably add an egg back. One note: This board has no IDE slots, which I failed to notice when I bought it - just a heads up.
