Fans don't last
Pros: - Looks nice
Cons: - Not enough space between fans and bottom of disk leads to poor airflow - Fans lasted a few months before starting to make an ungodly amount of noise
Overall Review: Spend a few more bucks and get a better product, something with a larger fan and more room for airflow.
Disappointment...
Pros: Small, fits well in my Thermaltake Bach case and the cooler looks efficient.
Cons: Video works well but no audio through HDMI. I took out an Asus 6450 which was working fine, doing 720p with audio but replaced it with this card which doesn't do audio. I installed the latest 13.2 Catalyst drivers and even did a fresh install of Windows 7 x64, still not working. Hard to use for an HTPC without sound and now Newegg.ca wont take it back, just exchange for another one which will not work so despite ordering $3500 in gear in the past week, including this XFX card and two other XFX R9 290 for my gaming rig, I'm stuck with a dud and back to my ASUS 6450
Overall Review: skip this card, get something else.
