Pros: This card runs everything I have at max settings and great framerate with a couple exceptions (see other thoughts) Great looking card, Runs extremely cool AND quiet compared to my gtx 460 sli setup (external exhaust versions) Uses less power

Cons: Knocked an egg for the price. Very expensive! I bought after the borderlands 2 gift expired, Price dropped about a week after I bought it.

Overall Review: I am pleased to have moved up from two gtx 460's in SLI to this one single card. This card beats out my SLI setup so I am impressed. Of course the 460's had 1 gig of vram compared to this 4gb monster. Currently I'm running a 24" monitor at 1080p, could I have gone for the 2 gig card? YES! Should I have? NO! I plan on buying a 27" 2560 x 1440 monitor at some point (or wait for the 4k monitors) so the 4gb versions seemed like that way to go. There are a few games that push 2 gb consistently. Skyrim! With about 60 mods running in this game including heavy duty texture packs, high res clothing, high res armor, high res "static" items this game used the most vram so far, 2150mb of vram near the city of Whiterun. I get anywhere from 55-100+ FPS in this game and it is BUTTERY SMOOTH compared to my 460 1gb sli setup (was choppy when turning due to the 1gb and high res textures) Metro 2033 was the one game that almost brought the 670 to its knees. For the most part I could play Metro at max settings but there are areas where I had to turn them down from VERY HIGH to HIGH because it was too demanding. It didn't use as much Vram as Skyrim but it definitely worked the card the most when it comes to FPS. Normally get about 40 FPS on max but there were dips into the mid 20's at times. Crysis 2. All settings on Ultra, DX11, High Res textures, game runs beautifully. No issues. I couldn't run Crysis 2 at full settings with my old 460's in SLI for the entire play through but this card handles Crysis 2 maxed out. Battlefield 3 again runs exceptionally well compared to my old setup. I can run this game maxed out and consistently get 60+ FPS with no studdering what-so-ever. One thing I should mention, my PC specs. I'm not running the newer pcie 3.0 slot motherboards yet. I'm going to try overclocking my CPU a little more, maybe to 4.2ghz. If that doesnt work I'll try a Z77 motherboard/CPU upgrade. My system as it sits now: Core i7 860 2.8ghz (overclocked to 3.8) EVGA P55 SLI motherboard (socket 1156) 16 gigs of g.skill ripjaw 1600mhz ram Galaxy GTX 670 4gb (obviously) Kingwin 850w PSU (I could easily drop a couple hundred watts if I wanted to but I will be SLI'ing at some point) Cooler Master V8 CPU cooler, Western Digital 640 hard drives (2) (SSD is coming soon) Corsair 600T case (white version)

Pros: Played blu ray discs....................until CYBERLINKS NEW VERSION CAME OUT...

Cons: the people at cyberlink are con artists, scammers, theives...what they do is make software so you can run bluray discs from your computer. what they don't tell you is that when the new version of their bluray disc program comes out, they make you "update" your version which yes, it does update your version, but the update TOTALLY DISABLES YOUR VERSION. ALL MY BLURAY MOVIES USED TO PLAY, AFTER THEIR SO CALLED UPDATE, NON OF THEM WORK. Cyberlink is known for this rip off behavior and I will not support them ever again and I hope none of you do either. They purposely sabotage their software thinking the customers are stupid enough to buy the new software EVERY YEAR. I DON'T THINK SO CYBERLINK, I'm BREAKING MY DISC AND THATS THE END OF IT. Even performing a clean install and removing the registry files of cyberlink will not allow me to watch any blurays which previously worked.

Overall Review: Final thoughts, buy a bluray player from newegg, they're under $100 right now, forget a pc based bluray drive, its nothing but a headache unless you can find software besides cyberlink and the cyberlink copycats. Spending $80--$100 each year on cyberlinks annual upgrade is purely absurd. Do yourself a favor and put cyberlink on your "AVOID AT ALL COSTS" list.

Pros: Laptop boots in less than 10 seconds

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: Going from a laptop 5400rpm hard drive to this ssd is incredible. A bit limited on space but the price was right.

Pros: Got it at a good price, ram has finally dropped in price, took years to go back down and now that it has I'll buy some more. faster than my old 1600mhz stuff. Got it running at 2400mhz with the TridentX timings (see other)

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: At first I couldn't get this ram to post on my system unless I ran 2133mhz or less. kept resetting my overclock settings. I would go back into the bios and reload my OC and what made this ram work at rated speed was enabeling xmp AND changing all my manual timings to auto. After booting into windows I checked CPUZ, was running at 2400mhz. Went back into the bios and manually entered the TridentX timings of 10-12-12-31 and again it booted fine and have been running it ever since with no issues. I still don't understand why it wouldn't work at first but I don't care, its working now. I always go with G.skill, have used them since I started building PC's. This is my 4th personal rig and G.skill continues to impress. I still use some 1 gig sticks in my very first pc build (DDR2 800mhz I think lol)

Pros: It is good ram, been running strong since Dec 2011. Looks good in my case. G.Skill is all I've ever used because it is the best.

Cons: Price has doubled. SEE OTHER THOUGHTS.

Overall Review: Reason for my update is price. Cost of ram is enough to knock an egg. I planned on buying more of this ram for a family members build. I remember what I paid a year and a half ago ($34.99) for two sticks of this stuff. Why the price hike? Is there a ram shortage? Nope...Seems like gas prices...raise it up for greed reasons. Its difficult for me to pay $70+ knowing what I paid not that long ago.

Pros: Great story, got it on sale, looks decent enough for a port, long, I spent 25 hours exploring around and never got bored.

Cons: like some have mentioned it would freeze up at a certain point but there is a fix! (see other comments) ORIGIN...I hate it, everyone hates it and it seems like EA requires all their current games to run of this garbage. They won't allow Steam to offer the games so you are required to install Origin if you want to play the latest EA games.

Overall Review: Ok, like others have mentioned, the game would freeze on me about 3/4 through. All I did was log onto my origin account, go to "My Games" and RIGHT CLICK over mass effect 3 and then click on "repair install." Once I did that the game worked and I recently completed the story. Hopefully it'll work for you guys as well. Speaking of the story, I don't understand why you people are complaining so much about this games ending. The ending was great, drawn out yet the majority of you threw such a fit about the end that Bioware actually came out with free DLC for an alternate ending which I chose NOT to download. These people created a game with plenty of game time (most games only take 6-12 hours to beat at most) and no, its not perfect, has bugs, but I found a way to complete the game and am happy with it overall. Especially for what I paid ($15 as a download only) I'd like to see all you whiner's make a game half as good as this one and see what the critics say.
