SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card 100357LP
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card 100357LP

Pros: Ran very smoothly. I built a friend a machine and upgraded his GT 8800 to this. He's not a hardcore gamer, so I was fine with the LP design. It came in LP. I wasn't putting this in a HTPC case so I had to swap to the bigger PCI-slot. Was no hassle. Great product

Cons: None really

Most Critical Review

Front panel might have burned my mobo

Pros: I bought the case because 1) it was featured and on sale and 2) because I wanted the room for all my HD's. I enjoyed the case, though very bulky and heavy.

Cons: I built my machine back in 11/21/2013, and after almost 2 years, the front panel seems to have fried, and possibly ruined my motherboard. I've had no issues until one night, I walked away from my computer, came back and everything looked off, yet my smart power strip kept everything "on". After manually turning off my power supply switch, and turning the computer back on; the moment I hit the power on switch on the panel, I heard a buzzing noise around that area and my computer ceased to turn on. Thinking it was power supply related, I trouble shooted with another PSU, and still not working. I then opened the panel to inspect but didn't find anything. The case gave off this 'burnt' smell but couldn't find the source. Needless to say, I have a beautiful computer that can't start anymore, and if the mobo is fried, which I suspect, I'm going to be extremely displeased knowing that a simple front panel connection created this. Quality check your panel!!!! /annoyed

Still holding strong since May 22

ASUS GeForce GTX 780 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card GTX780-3GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 780 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card GTX780-3GD5

Pros: When it worked, this beast was able to play anything. Amazing graphics on BF4

Cons: After 2 and a half weeks, I began receiving "Display driver stopped responding and recovered" This was when it was 331.65 nVidia drivers. I reverted back to various drivers with same result. Now, my system no longer gives me the error message rather a hard crash/restart.

Overall Review: I've tried to troubleshoot to try and eliminate other potential issues besides the card. All efforts seem to be pointing to a dead card. I submitted an ASUS Support ticket and was only given a generic message to: "Unfortunately to say it can't be directly judged which parts cause your issue. If the issue appears after you have installed some software or hardware, please uninstall or remove them and check if it is helpful. Please have a check if the new video card will work normally."
