Pros: Cooling - Twin Frozer V - Currently have no issues with coolling and overheating on stock clock speeds and boosted clock speeds. Noise - I don't have any issue with noise whether it's loud or not, but for some they do. This card has very little fan noise especially during load to where sometimes I feel as if the fans are not even spinning (I upgraded from an Nvidia GTX 680 where the fans sounded like a car engine fan so I'm not used to this much silence.) Performance - Major increase in performance especially with the benefit of 8GB of VRAM which is an insane amount for this card and for how much it costs at the moment. So far it seems a little bit much but it will come in handy sometime in the future. Other Uses - I have a three monitor setup currently running off of this card (2 DVI and 1 HDMI @ 1920x1080 @ ~60hz) and everything runs perfectly as expected and no issues experienced other than driver issues (Not really a pro but it's nice) It actually has the listed amount of VRAM other than the GTX 970 with it's "4GB of VRAM (Which it only has 3.5GB) and for about the same price if not less, with slightly better performance in most tests compared to the 970, this card was the clear choice for a $350+ card.

Cons: Drivers -As of now, the drivers are currently buggy for certain games. So far, in GTA V, Far Cry 4 and the Battlefront beta(Which was expected at least) and just browsing any browser being a video or music, the drivers seem to fail a few times and cause a deadlock or freeze on the PC forcing a hard restart. (Version: 15.20.1062.1004-150803a1-187674C) - A fresh install of the drivers seemed to have fixed the issue slightly but not entirely so where I only experience the issue occasionally now. Other games such as Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous or the Rainbow Six Siege beta ran very well and so had no driver issues. Weight and size - Not really a con but a matter of preference and compatability. Some people may or may not like the wight of the card and may feel as if it will put stress onto a PCI Port or the whole motherboard and damage either of the two, I currently don't have an issue. Size, many will complain ans they may have to upgrade motherboards or their case or both depending on their setup. But overall these cons are temporary and will obviously change in the future as more and more updates come through and things get adjusted and edited.

Overall Review: 4/5 Due to current drivers at the moment but the rest of the card has amazed me so far and I am loving it. I love the back plate MSI put on this card, it doesn't add much to it except a sleek look and ability to handle the card in a more comfortable matter rather than worrying about fondling the bare card with your hands. LED Light - When the card is powered on it emits a small LED light on the top of the card with the MSI logo which is a nice little touch. IF MY REVIEW DOES NOT HELP YOU IN ANY WAY, I AM SORRY, I AM NOT THE BEST AT WRITING REVIEWS.

Pros: At least it fit in my ITX case??

Cons: DOA

Overall Review: MOBO is DOA. CPU pins came bent, on a new board so it would throw CPU & DRAM errors. Judging by some reviews, either I got their board, or other boards are coming with damage.
