Pros: The card is very powerful. I am very happy. I am coming from an R9 390 using a 3440x1440 monitor and the 390 was starting to get a little long in the tooth and sluggish in gaming. At that resolution it was just out of its element. I got this R9 Fury and am very satisfied so far. It is also very quiet, if you put the fans on 100% manual it does produce some noise but I have not seen the fans go over 55% yet and I have gamed with the latest games on ultra settings for 4+ hours. The card has a solid build quality and is pretty heavy. There is also a DVI port which most Fiji boards do not have I have been told. But I don't use it.
Cons: The weight of the card, it is starting to sag in the PCI-E slot, not much but enough to make me start thinking about it. It uses 2 PCI-E 8 plug connectors, The card stays surprising cool and the fans stay very low rpm but I can definitely tell its using a lot of power, my aging but awesome PSU, a PC P and C Silencer 950 Mark II starts to blow warm air for the first time since I have had it when this thing is under heavy load for extended periods of time, BUT the GPU manages to dissipate the heat very well. Also tends to not OC very well compared to other GPUs, but that is relative.
Overall Review:
I use a custom afterburner fan profile... I think some of the issues people have with the GPU crashing is because I think it tries to stay silent and cut the fans off if its under a certain temperature, but using a custom fan profile I don't have to deal with this, I don't like the idea of that anyway. The GPU thrashes the latest games on highest/ultra settings at my 3440x1440 resolution. I think that resolution is a good match for this GPU, 4K gaming on it might work with some sacrifices but I like to max everything out. I did notice in the new DOOM game I could not select Nightmare graphical options because it required 5GB+ of Vram, I forced the settings and the card still managed ALMOST playable framerates but not quite for my tastes, so I left them on ultra instead. If you can get this GPU for a good price I recommend it. I have one that has a Fury X BIOS flashed to it sucsessfully for an additional 4 CUs for 3840 shaders, I have it running at 1070 GPU and 520HBM with no voltage tweaks, it may go further with additional voltage but probably not much, these things I have heard do not go much past 1130Mhz. Radeon drivers and GPU tend to age a lot better than Geforce GPUs too so you can probably expect a lot more performance out of the card with future driver updates. Freesync is awesome too :D

Pros: Does the job, I'm a first time builder and have not had issues with the card. I game daily and don't crash while playing? so idk, i won the ASUS lottery.
Cons: Super Huge, dang i'd need another case to crossfire
Overall Review:
I would buy the card again.
I have no idea how to do the stock OC
Pros: Amazing card...when it wants to work
Cons: Freezes, Black screens, coil whine, you name it, this card probably has it.
Overall Review: Overall I can not recommend this card to anyone. The instability issues are too much to handle. I wish I could have put my money into a different card.
Pros: Hard to come up with Pros; the card is not stable.
Cons: I replaced a Radeon 7950 with this card and the action made an otherwise very stable machine become unreliable and frustrating. It crashes the machine often, as evidenced by assessing the windows event log and technical introspection/troubleshooting of the machine itself. Bottom line: adding this card to my machine = my machine no worky.
Overall Review: I would definitely not recommend this product to anyone.
Pros: The card looks cool and I appreciate its sleek design
Cons:
Crashes my system (Black screen of death) quite consistently. I chose this card for a new build with high expectations based on performance reviews.
Performance seems random and dependent on application and / or processes
WILL NOT PLAY THE DIVISION for longer than 10 minutes before crashing
Crashes system when multitasking (When using multiple monitors)
Issues with display port
Overall Review:
Would Not Recommend
This card should be recalled
Pros: Looks cool. That's it.
Cons: As MANY have said. Black screens, giving my MG279Q issues, and software is not good. It worked for about 3 weeks. I have narrowed it down to the card which was BRAND NEW 01/05/16. Replaces EVERY COMPONENT in my PC and made several posts on tech forums about my issues. It was not my Motherboard, CPU, RAM, heatsink, PSU, Case, Fans, Monitor, Windows, SSDs, razer headset/mouse, Thermal paste, or Steelseries keyboard. EVERY. SINGLE. COMPONENT. Was replaced in the last 9 weeks. I had so much faith in a brand new 569.99 card. Now I want it out and gone. The motherboard and CPU were the last pieces I changed which I did on Sunday 03/16 and played WoW for 20 minutes and black screen. Not even a full reboot. It just goes off with everything running still!
Overall Review: I only buy ASUS. I like the products. This is the first thing I bought that gave me such grief. I gave up two Strix 970s for this cause I wanted to try FreeSync.... I was a fool.
Pros: Runs cool and fast....when it works.
Cons: Constant black screens of death. Sent in for RMA and card was deemed working as advertised. Updated bios and still getting issues. Did a complete OS reinstall to no avail. Previous posters have said there is an issue with the bios where it downclocks. Terrible customer service. Hung up on 3 times when attempting to obtain an invoice stating there was nothing wrong with my card.
Overall Review: Replaced with a 970 due to the fear I would lose work with a black screen of death. No issues with the 970 so it is 100% pinpointed to the card itself. It appears the Sapphire R9 Furies are working as intended, and Asus should recall these cards since they are faulty.
