Pros: So far with this I have had a great experience. The card was packaged very well and the box looked pretty nice to boot. I'm using the Rosewill Blackhawk Gaming Mid tower, so I had to remove my top HDD Cage so it would fit. The card also came with 2 x 6 to 8 pin adapters. I've had no issues so far with the cards performance. I've tested it out with FarCry 4, Wolfenstein TNO, Batman Arkham Origins, Saints Row 4, Dark Souls 2 and Final Fantasy 14 ARR all on max settings. It ran fantastically on the first 5 games (see other thoughts about FF14). I upgraded to this card from a His IceQ 2GB Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edition and am very happy with the performance boost. Will update review once I've had more time with the card.

Cons: See other thoughts.

Overall Review: When starting Final Fantasy 14 ARR, I noticed that I had actually gotten lower FPS than I did with my recent card. I tried tweaking all of the settings (lowered shadow res, cascading/softening, ambient occlusion, etc.) But none of them really had an effect on the frame rate. I'm not sure if this is due to the game being DX9, a driver issue or something else, so I'm not going to dock an egg.

Would be nice if I could get it to work.

Pros: -Small form factor -Good price -Decent range

Cons: Refer to Other

Overall Review: Cannot get it to work properly on Win10 64-bit. It installed fine and picks up my wi-fi, but only works for about 20 seconds and then stops. It does keep telling me I have internet access though. Will keep messing with it, and update review if results change.

Went well for a few months.

Overall Review: Worked great up until a couple weeks ago. One DP has gone out and is unusable. The screen flickers black when using the other port. Bought a new displayport cable and it didn't help. At least HDMI is working I guess. But if I just wanted 60fps I would've got a cheaper card.

Excellent product!

Pros: I am an mmo player, so lag is something i do not want, and this router has delivered. I get excellent signal through my home and have not had any issues with lag since I received this router. We are also able to connect more devices with no slowdown. My download speed had also seen an increase from about 1.8MB/s to around 2.3MB/s. The settings are a little complicated, but it didn't take me any more than 10 minutes to get everything figured out and running. The WPS and power button on the back is also a plus. Recommended.

Cons: N/A

Nice Case

Pros: I've owned this HDD for more than one year now and have not had any problems. If you are on the market for a good 1TB, you've found it.

Cons: None
