Pros: I can max out BF3 settings and have been blown away by the quality of the picture. It has handled everything I have thrown at it with Ultimate graphics quality settings and delivery. It totally refreshed a 5 year old build until I moved it to the new build listed below.

Cons: The PCI clip is a bit hard to get to when you need to take the card out due to bulky fan cover.

Overall Review: My old AMD 2.3GHz setup was given entirely new legs with this card alone, and with the setup below it's unreal. Build: i5 3570 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz CPU 16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1600 SAPPHIRE 100355-1GOCL Radeon HD 7850 1GB ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Motherboard

Pros: Nothing at present. Great potential?

Cons: This drive is DOA. I purchased it in February, but it was safe in the package until June 1 when I made the move to open my customer system and install. The drive makes a chirp, and fails to initialize. I swapped cables and interface, and now its not recognized at all. Trying to figure out RMA

Pros: It's a fast card, temps are below expected, and performance is where I like it. I have had no issues with heat or noise. I finally managed to get one below the original MSRP.

Cons: It was still expensive, but that's the market's fault more than newegg's.

Overall Review: It's a huge upgrade from a RX580 8GB. I have not pushed it Hard for Long yet, but I have to say its everything I hoped for. I will not lament this new generation coming out shortly as I waited so long to get where I am. I shall be patient and see what games take advantage of in the future before I re-up.

Pros: Light and easy to reposition Solid clamp system for now Future option to bolt it to a racing frame (bolts not included) Wheel material feels good and sturdy

Cons: Recalibrates itself on every reboot twice. So when my computer does a Windows update, for example, there are odd motor turning and a solid thunk when the wheel hits its limit. This is great for keep the device in tune, but it does it two times at the BIOS and at Windows loading. Heaven help you if you have your hand in the way, or the cat was too curious.

Overall Review: This is not a 700+ $ direct drive (DD) steering wheel trying to sell you the illusion you are on the track. For half that, you get a solid functioning wheel that turns your digital vehicle. The physical reproduction of forces on the device depends somewhat on the game itself, and I only have Assetto Corsa Competizione at the moment. It won't break your wrists (unless your arm is in the wheel when it calibrates (see cons)) when taking corners, but it does provide feedback you can learn to be a better driver in said digital vehicle.

Pros: It's allegedly a fiberoptic cable which is how it works with the throughput values for its length. I haven't really put it through its paces, but connections to steam/PC are seamless.

Cons: It's pricey. If you don't need to be that far from your PC a good usb3 C cable will do.

Overall Review: Because of what I paid for it, I'm being a real baby about stepping on it or accidentally being too far from the PC and yanking the cable out. I've read some bad news about the ends falling apart, and I want to make it last. But at least I can use the cable with my Steam account stuff rather than having to buy games twice.

Pros: 16GB should have been plenty, but with all the VMs and games I just needed more. After a tiny bit of fussing I got the 32gb kit to work with the 16gb kit, and all of it running at XMP 3200.

Overall Review: I didn't go with faster because I couldn't justify the cost, but I am very happy with my current setup. AORUS x570 AMD 3600X 48 GB @ 3200 RX 580 (sigh) 1GW psu (way overkill hand me down)
