Pros: Yeah, drivers. Yeah, runs hot. Yeah it needs power. But this watercooled card is a monster! It smashes through games like it doesn't care. It has yet to stumble. I currently spend my off time on The Witcher 3 on Ultra (2K res); no problems at all. I got it at a great price (effectively $550.00 after promo and rebate). Mega deal!

Cons: Well it runs hot and it is watercooled so requires some space considerations. And it is an AMD. That seems to be a negative for some fanboys.

Overall Review: If you can find it for what I paid and have the space in your case, I recommend you get it. if not, well there's the Fury X and the 980 Ti. Not as cost effective but somewhat comparable performance in some applications. On others, well, pay double and add another card. That's the only way you will be able to achieve similar results.
