some advantages
Pros: works well enough. allowed me to turn off windows firewall. is configurable and the driver development has progressed beyond beta release. pcie-1x 250 duplex, has the potential of more than 3 times the bus bandwidth of pci 133 Geek factor: it has a powerful risc processor !
Cons: you can brick this card if you lose power during flash hackers can still ping your connection to bump you from that server your dominating no apps for the pcie cards yet come on fn-apps get it going on
Overall Review: my system seem perkier with a firewall running independent of windows five stars because it does what it says no more no less.
Just to be fair
Pros: the status page in port management says it is full duplex gigabit .
Cons: but speed tests show massive loss of throughput. usually i get 65 down 35 up .with this gateway i get 10/10 .while game play has improved some , video streaming has become tedious
Overall Review: this is on the latest firmware v1.0.1.02 (Feb 20 2014 10:11:51)
Quiet card
Pros: Now when i shoot at someone i hit them yay!!
Cons: card seemed heavier than my 780ti
Overall Review: i think the acx cooler is where the extra weight is
first mechanical keyboard
Pros: i like it ilike it alot using the usb pass through for my mouse not noticing any input lag
Cons: none well if i was picky .....
Overall Review: i'll buy the rgb when it launches
AWESOME STEAM DRIVE
Pros: Plug and play after disk mgmt installed steam. that's all i use the drive for. the drives seems to be making my games a little faster every time i log on
Cons: added another item to the boot queue
Overall Review: the 512 ddr2 cache is probably why it seems to game faster and faster
overclocks seamlessly
Pros: cool quiet mad stable wtih 1110mhz gpu
Cons: none
Overall Review: at 88% fan speed it still a whisper in a corsair 540
