Pros: Run 3d like a champ

Cons: I purchased this card a few weeks ago and everything went fine with the installation. Then I started to notice graphical static flicker when browsing internet, watching videos or using 2d apps. I tried updating drivers and bios, anything I could do to alleviate the issue with no luck. So I RMA'd the card and the new card arrived and displays the same issues.

I've researched the internet far and wide for solutions. Apparently this issue is occurring with multiple different R9 cards from multiple different manufacturers. There is as of yet no solution to this issue that I could find.

All users don't have this issue so I imagine there are other hardware factors that make this issue bubble to the surface. Ultimately if you buy this card you are taking a risk that you will have this issue.

Other Thoughts: I did contact MSI about the issue and they simply recommended the RMA so I don't think they are interested in investigating any hardware incompatibility that could be causing this. I'm going to contact AMD next to see what they have to say.

Pros: I have had no issues with this card in terms of installation and setup

Cons: I feel for my system I should be getting better frame rates. I primarily use my computer for playing World of Warcraft and with the settings maxed out I'm only getting about 10-20 FPS in certain areas. For the amount of memory and the price tag on this card, playing a game that is 5 years old and getting these kind of framerates is sad.
