Pros: -Great leather accents -Easy to build in -More room than it appears to have -Great cooling options -Unique layout

Cons: -The side fan mount uses specific screws, not universal

Overall Review: This case is exactly what I've been waiting for. Elegant, rich leather accents, smaller in size, and easy to work in. The front mounted PSU bracket is definitely unique from the types of cases I'm used to working with and I do really like it. I needed a smaller case, so that I could get my PC off the floor, away from the dust, and away from my sons little hands, and this was the one! I had been waiting and waiting for a nice case to hit the market, something unique that wasn't just another glass box, I considered so many different cases and even bought a 3D printer so that I could potentially print my own case to meet my wants. Then this one came out. I am so overjoyed with how great this thing looks in my space and have even decided to base my entire desks look around it with a rustic look.

Pros: -Great temps -Decent performance -1440p does pretty well -It works... for the most part -16GB VRAM

Cons: -Software is terrible -Seems to be pretty unstable -Just kind of meh -AFMF left severe ghosting on CP2077... permanently.

Overall Review: This card was pretty good for a little while, then it just started having issues. Some games just black screen randomly, some games don't even load to the splash screen, and some games have random issues like clipping through terrain because it hasn't loaded in and jittery frames. The Adrenaline software may LOOK nice, and it's very well organized, but it doesn't even work half the time anymore. I can bring up the Adrenaline overlay, but I can't interact with it. The performance counter just stops working out of nowhere sometimes and won't start working again until I restart my computer. For some reason I can't enable AFMF on certain DX11 titles, but I can on a Vulkan title? What's up with that? And speaking of AFMF, I now have severe ghosting in Cyberpunk whether AFMF is enabled or not, through multiple driver updates and software updates, I'm just stuck with the ghosting now. Never had any driver issues, the only issues I've seen are software based and seemingly how it interacts with games that previously had no issues on my RTX 2070. 16GB of VRAM is great for things like texture detail, but it really only matters if you plan on going 4K, at 1440p (which is what this card seems to be good at) it seems to just be a gimmick, 8-12GB is probably more than enough for 1440p. Let's be honest, the people who are able to get the nice 4K screens... they aren't buying this card. Overall, it's an okay GPU... but just okay... it didn't blow me away like previous cards have, and the performance increase from my 2070 is completely overshadowed by the issues I've had with it. So if you're happy with an okay GPU that you might need to troubleshoot sometimes, I say go for it, but if you need something that's going to consistently deliver for a long time, steer clear.

Pros: -Exceptional ray tracing performance! -Stays nice and cool under load. -Awesome 1440p performance. -Decent 4K performance (with RT off). -Nice suite of features.

Cons: -No PhysX support.

Overall Review: If you're looking for a good 5070 without all the frills, this is the one to go with! It's not big and clunky, doesn't have a bunch of RGB all over it, and it performs really well. As a 1440p card, it handles everything at max setting beautifully, without breaking a sweat. I can run Cyberpunk with path tracing in 1440p (DLSS and frame gen of course), get really good frames, and never see it go above 70C. It can even deliver in 4K, if you tweak the settings a little bit and maybe turn off ray tracing. Let's get the elephant in room addressed... you aren't going to get 4090 performance for $549, without AI support. That being said, I don't think anyone who bought this card is really expecting 4090 performance. This is a 70 tier card through and through, but if you can get that baseline of 60fps or higher, the multi-frame gen is going to make it feel like you did spend $1000+ for this card. I am super happy with it, I'm just a regular gamer dad who wanted a good GPU to play some games on, my RX 7800 XT was having lots of issues that I didn't want to deal with anymore, so I decided to jump ship into the new Nvidia generation. I know this gen gets a lot of flack, especially the 5070, but after using the card myself, I really don't see why. Don't let YouTube reviewers and Facebook groups make your decision for you, you're getting a good card with this one!

Pros: -Excellent frames at 1440p in games like Cyberpunk, BMW, and FFXVI -Nice frames at 4K in games like No Man's Sky and FFXV -Decent frames in 4K in BMW and Cyberpunk (around 50-60 maxed out) -Stays super quiet and very cool under load -Visually stunning -Not overly power hungry -12GB of VRAM is PLENTY for current titles (and future titles) at 1440p

Cons: -Very large card! Pick your case wisely! -Installing is nerve racking if you are used to lighter cards.

Overall Review: This card does everything I need it to. As a new dad, I don't get much time to play games anymore, so I figured I shouldn't go with something like a 4080 Super, why throw a bunch of money into a card I wouldn't get to use that much? If you play on 1440p in newer titles, this card will do the job. With the boosted clock I'm able to max out CP2077 with Path Tracing, DLSS Quality, and Frame Gen and get around 75-85fps pretty reliably. I can even push out about 50-60fps on DLSS Performance with Frame Gen and Path Tracing in 4K, so that's pretty impressive in my opinion. I never have any driver issues, everything runs as smooth as butter, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I would say to wait until this is priced at MSRP (around $700) before you buy, as great as this card is, I wouldn't have shelled out $1,000+ for it. Having said all of that, this card is massive, so make sure your case can handle it. The included bracket is more than sufficient to support it, so don't worry about grabbing a support.

Pros: -Worked immediately after installing on both Linux and Windows -Extra wiggle room with the antenna base -PCI slot instead of PCIe makes for better install options

Cons: -A little difficult to install if you have a larger GPU

Overall Review: It worked as soon as I installed it, even on Linux. I instantly got greeted with the option to connect to my wifi on my very next start up. I like the idea of having a separate wifi card, so that I can upgrade later on and not have to worry about whether or not the motherboard has onboard wifi, meaning I can save money in the future by getting less expensive models.

Pros: -Cheap case -Body quality is decent -Side fan is nice -Top power button, so no accidental shut downs -Lots of airflow

Cons: -Front IO doesn't function properly -Rear IO is misaligned

Overall Review: The case itself is decent, the build quality, as far as sturdiness and toughness, is pretty good, and it has a nice side fan to help cool your GPU. Airflow options are really good too, I can do a push/pull configuration on my AIO radiator pretty easily, which keeps my CPU nice and cool. Where I run into a problem with this case though, is the IO in the front and back, which is a huge deal. I almost have to plug the back USB devices in at an angle and then pry them straight, which causes me some anxiety when we're talking about recording equipment that costs a good bit of money. The front IO just doesn't work, the power button works, but the front USB ports are so unstable, my devices continually connect and reconnect, to the point that I don't even use the front IO. Not to mention, two USB ports are empty and blocked off, what's the point of that? The USB-C port doesn't even work, and the audio jack produces so much static that it's unusable. Overall, if you're really strapped for cash and need a PC case right this second, this will do the job, but please... for your own sake... just save some money and buy a better one if you can.
