Worth the risk
Pros: Great specs for the price
Cons: stand can be a little annoying to install
Overall Review: I was a bit cautious about buying this monitor since it was from a brand I knew little about and couldn.t find much on but so far after a few weeks I'd say it was definitely worth it and have had no issues getting it to operate to its full ability,
Good when working properly
Pros: Gives really good performance and a reasonable price
Cons: Constantly getting random solid green screens and freezes
Overall Review: I would like to give the card a higher score because when it is working properly it works well. However, I have had a tons of issues the last couple weeks which have caused multiple crashes and many attempts to resolve by wiping and reinstalling the drivers seem to only work for a few days. Can't fully tell if it is a card or driver issue on AMD's part but since it was working fine or about a month and then started having issue I'm inclined to believe it might be my card. Update: After contacting both Gigabyte and AMD I have received the same generic cut and paste list of steps to fix and and still having the same issue with green screen crashes. I have disabled hardware acceleration, rolled back my drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers, updated my BIOS, changed cables, etc. At this point I would like to just return the card and choose something else but that doesn't seem to be an option anymore.
Work great and runs quiet
Pros: So far I have had no issues with this card after about a month. Fans seem to run quiet even while gaming and pushing some settings, haven't had any crashes or green screens. Ray tracing looks great on games it applies to and also handles modeling software (i.e Solidworks) very well
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this card although I can understand why some people may prefer to hold off for a bit with the new generation being announced soon.
The chair was fairly straightforward to put together and is very comfortable. Only drawback to me is that the leg rest feels like its a little weak and that when its fully extended I have concerns that the weight of my legs will possibly break the clips holding it in place. Overall I would recommend the chair though.
