Pros: - Plays every game I throw at it - Doesn't draw as much power as I thought - Cooling is more than adequate - RGB (Need I Say More)

Cons: - Can Get Loud (Doesn't anymore for some reason, more on that below) - Ludicrous coil whine on my particular model - Cost

Overall Review: Good Things - I use a 3440x1440 Ultrawide display @ 75hz and this thing kills everything I play. The most demanding game is probably Rise of the Tomb Raider, which hovers right around 68-72fps the entire time with every setting cranked to the max. Games I play the most are Rocket League and Overwatch, which exceed 200fps consistently (again, with settings maxed). - Obviously this card is going to shine at 4K, but I was most worried about high(er) refresh rates at 1440p. This card taught me that I shouldn't have worried at all. - I thought this thing was going to draw 300watts at the drop of a hat, but I've found that it is very reasonable on power, unless it is being stress-tested. My entire UPS reports a 500watt draw at load, and that includes my monitor, mixer, 10 USB devices, and secondary audio interface. I haven't noticed it getting close to the 300watt max draw Nvidia reports in the spec sheet. The Meh - The biggest complaint I have is the coil whine on the card I got. It is insane. When I boot up a game, I instantly get a very pronounced and very annoying whine. It is louder than any fan in my system, and varies by what is being displayed. I've ran into coil whine before, but never this bad. I understand that this is a con that will be inconsistent and completely dependent on the individual cards, but I was unlucky here. - The cooling is beast, and the card barely gets warm under stress tests. That being said, when the fans really kick in, it sounds like a jet taking off. The weird part is that I only experienced this for one day. I'm not sure what happened or if it was even the card itself, but I have never even noticed the fans kicking in after the first day. Maybe there was some kind of driver bug or a windows update that kicked in later, but this was only an issue for the first day. I'm still confused about it. - Obviously the cost is ridiculous, but I think it's justified considering what this thing can do. It's easily the best you can get for the money. I used to upgrade my graphics card every three or so years, but I see this sticking around for a while. - The system I paired this with is an Intel 7700K (OC'd to 4.8ghz) with 32GB DDR4 3000 RAM.

Pros: Great Picture Quality. Excellent Recording Quality for video.

Cons: Install Disc might as well be trashed right away. Takes alot of effort and alot of broken things to install it. Sound Still Doesn't Work. Is just too much of a pain.

Overall Review: i you buy this, get the drivers off the internet from the leadtek site, and if your sound works then lucky you, but im sending it back.

Pros: - Easy installation - Looks great - RGB and Drivers are easy to Install (more on that later...) - Runs as intended (mostly) - Extra tools included (Overclocking, advanced features, etc...) - Wireless works great with an included antenna. - I love the amount of M.2 slots - A pop-up greets you upon first boot to download the Gigabyte management software (drivers, etc. This can also be disabled in the BIOS)

Cons: - The M.2 slots can be confusing on the first installation. You want your main SSD in the CPU slot. - Driver downloads are easy, but for some reason, the USB-C port doesn't appear to work as expected. - (USB-C is the main issue for me. It is labeled USB-C 20Gbps, but I've used every cable I have and an iPad does not show up as a data source (charge only) and a Meta Quest Pro says "USB 3 connection recommended" in the Quest Link application. I have not figured out a way to enable the USB-C connection to actually function as a high-speed interface. - Booting for the first time can be... weird. When I first powered on my device I thought there was a major issue, DoA, or incompatibility with my other hardware. It turned out, the board had to power cycle about 10 times before it finally decided to POST. It will show LED indicators of the boot process, but stopped short so many times that I almost gave up. There is no indication that the board needs to reboot the system an unreasonable amount of times before it actually POSTs. Be patient...

Overall Review: - My previous system was quite dated and did not include any wireless, over-1Gbps Ethernet, or USB-C functionality. I'm disappointed that the USB-C port does not function as intended, but everything else seems to work just fine.

Pros: Fast: Huge upgrade over my X-fire 5770s. Plays Tomb Raider maxed out at >40fps. Benchmarked >30fps average on Unigine Heaven Ultra settings. Cool: Hasn't broken 60c yet under load Somewhat Quiet: Louder than my 5770s, but not by much. Fan nearly never kicks in over 20% while gaming. After reading reviews on the noise of these cards I was hesitant, but its really not that bad. Not silent, but not "loud". One of the shorter 270x cards. I have a mid-tower antec 900 with six hard drives and it's crowded, but at least it fits. If I got one of the longer 270xs I probably would have had to move my hard drives. Solid Build Quality

Cons: Not so great at overclocking: I was only able to get about 50mhz extra without it crashing with a full load. Not so bad as it is fast enough without OC. Not sure if it is the card's fault, but recent benchmarks have had very low minimum fps scores. Don't really notice on-screen so its not an issue. Was bottlenecked by my AMD Phenom II. Upgraded to i5-3570K and got a noticeable increase in performance. (I knew this would happen before-hand I was just curious. Obviously a processor 5 years newer is going to give a performance increase)

Pros: Tons of features Bios with Mouse support Lots of overclocking options RAM LED can be useful for troubleshooting. Included software offers great motherboard control from within Windows.

Cons: The amount of features on this board is almost overwhelming. The boards I've dealt with in the past had about 5 options I was concerned about. This one had a learning-curve for me. Plugged it in and would not boot with all my RAM installed. Not a big deal, I just had to install one stick at a time. RAM led lit for error when there was really no problem with RAM. PC wouldn't boot due to motherboard detecting a "power surge" from my PSU. Had to disable this feature in the Bios. GPU-Boost switch would be nice if I understood what it actually did. I have yet to tell a difference if it is on or off. Overclocking is confusing. The last time I overclocked I changed the multiplier and the voltage and that was it. This has multiple profiles, and multiple options for everything. Not really a con, but it was a learning curve for me. I thought I was overclocking like I wanted to, but I was getting very random results and boot-loops from what I thought were very simple overclocks. Took some time to understand the different profiles and auto-configurations this board has. Manual is pretty good at giving a description of what each feature/switch is, but very vague at describing what it actually does.

Overall Review: Had to give this board a 5 just because the problems I have had are most likely due to my ignorance of newer boards. A lot has changed since I last messed with configurations. Otherwise very solid board and it works fine.

Pros: Fast and Cool Overclocked mine easily to 4Ghz on stock cooler while maintaining 45c under load. Big upgrade for me. Noticed >20 avg fps during benchmarks over my old CPU with same R9 270x gpu.

Cons: None so far.

- Received on-time and was exactly what I ordered - Used two of these to replace two failed drives in a RAID-6 array - Saved the day
