Pros: The pros on this card are very simple. 1) FANS- the fan noise is a huge upgrade over other cards, even those that are not 290s. I use these for mining so the fan noise is fairly important. I run them at 85% and they are surprisingly quiet for a 290 card. 2) FAST- i have these running top notch with no problems 3) COOL- 78 degrees clocked out and ready to roll.

Cons: The only Con is the cost gouging going on in the market. This is fairly understandable right now though since AMD know their cards are two full markets now. Gamers and Miners.
