Pros: Works, picture is fine, blacks are dark. All in all, pretty nice.

Cons: Display navigation controls could be better. 1 stuck pixel, probably will have to RMA it later. For know the pixel is not bothering me.

Overall Review: For those with a wobble complaint, get a better desk.

Pros: Overclocks nicely, stays cool. Very stable @ 1125 / 1475 with slight voltage increase, 1.090 using MSI after burner. Nice looking card. Very happy with this card and give it a 5 eggy

Cons: None

Overall Review: Have this coupled with a Asrock 970 Extreme3 MB (only 2.0 pcie)(card is 3.0 compliant), 8G of G$kill Ripsaw 1866, Win7 Unl 64 bit, 120GB Kingston SSD V300Now drive, FX6200 6 core. Running BF4 Ultra @ 60fps. High @ 85fps Custom @ 115, mostly high settings, couple ultra, bottom 3 off. All on 64 player servers. Card dropped in price and Newegg was nice enough to give me a credit for almost the difference.

Nice Drive

Pros: Small, will fit anywhere. Does the job as advertised.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I bought it for BF4. Only SW on the drive is W7, Origin ,BF3 & BF4, TS & Virus protection. It boots to the desktop in about 5/6 seconds and BF4 Map loading is roughly 10 seconds. Very happy so far.

Pros: Overclocks, 900/1200. 256 bandwith. works great in xfire mode. Able to play BF3 @ ultra settings but prefer at med settings to keep the frames around 90.

Cons: None

1 sticky pixel after 2 weeks

ASUS VS Series VS247H-P 24" (Actual size 23.6") Full HD 1920 x 1080 60Hz HDMI VGA DVI-D SPLENDID Modes Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor

Pros: It worked out of the box. Brightness is good, blacks are good. Overall nice monitor for the price. - 1 egg for sticky pixel & display controls

Cons: Dead pixel after 2 weeks, center area to the left. Not sold on the display adjust buttons, maybe it is just me and being picky.

Overall Review: Debating whether to RMA it for the pixel issue. I have been a Viewsonic fan for 15 years and strayed away, oops.
