Pros: Absolute Beast of a card. Good power consumption. Best Warranty out there. Best Out of the Box Clock Speeds.

Cons: Not going to take an egg for this, but the fan housing I expected to be a little stiffer with a little Less plastic. Not card related, but it took too dang long to get here. (Ordered Sat, Received Fri. - even paid for 3 day shipping and didn't get it. Never had anything take a week to get here. Sometimes stuff shows up in two or three days, but not this time.)

Overall Review: I bought a GTX 960 about 18 months ago to hold me over for the next gen cards to be released. Once the 1080/1070/1060/480's came out - the 480 didn't live up to the hype and the 1080 was priced out of my budget.. So, I ended up with one decision: 1060 or 1070. While the 1060 is no slouch of a card by any means, I opted for the 1070 for expandability down the road (2k, 4k, SLI) whereas the 1060 wasn't REALLY playing in any of those fields (Granted, it can probably do 2k "good enough" but with the 960 for a year and a half, I was done with "good enough"). So it boiled down to Which 1070. I've been running EVGA Cards for over 15 years now. Never a problem. Recently, I have started seeing people post about their customer service starting to have issues. Having never used it, I was curious. So, I emailed them. Didn't hear anything back. I emailed them again. Still, nothing.. Third time I emailed them I, again, received nothing.. (This was over a period of two weeks, and yes, I looked in my spam folder, didn't use my spam email account, used my private email address, etc. etc.) So having that experience, I started looking at other brands, and came across this beast. I chose this one for its aesthetics, the out of the box clock speeds, software package, 4 year warranty (I know it lists 3 year here, go to their site), reviews of all Gigabyte Cards (eg. not just this one) and the experiences people had had from their support system.

Pros: Cheap Case

Cons: Cheap Case

Overall Review: For $15 you can't complain.. It is flimsy.. It is "tight" with an ATX Board.. Large Video cards can be a pain, or might not fit at all.. But hey man.. Its $15 freakin bucks... what did you expect? Using 1 for a Living Room Entertainment Center System (HDMI to Plasma TV) and one for a spare "Internet Browsing" system. Id buy another one if I built a system out of spare parts to sell or something... Did I mention it was only $15? :)

Pros: Quiet. Cool. Great Performance for 1080p Gaming. Small footprint.

Cons: I honestly can't think of any except it is 2Gb. In retrospect, I probably should have spent the $30 for the 4Gb version.

Overall Review: For the price, you cannot expect Ultra or Mind Blowing FPS on Every Single Game.. Can't expect Incredible performance for 4k gaming.. But the card does really well 1080p and in the High Settings on newer games.. Older games, flip it to Ultra.. If you run into a FPS Issue, see if the game has "Shadows" to turn off in Advanced Settings. Helps a Ton. System: Core i5 3.4Ghz - 16Gb - SSD Main Drive. WoW: 120fps on Ultra Arma2 OA DayZ: 45-55fps Some settings tweaked for sniping (View Distance Maxxed) Witcher 3 (Settings default from NVidia Experience): 40-50fps. Rift: Off the charts fps Ultra with Shadows Off. DDO: Off the charts fps set on anything you want. Metro 2033: High - 70-80fps CS: Off the charts fps set on anything you want. Highly recommended.

Pros: Purchased on 11-DEC-2014. Shipped fast. Very fast SSD Drive. Worked really well for 2-2.5 months.

Cons: It started with random freezing of the system with the HDD light Bright and Steady on. Reset produced "drive not found" on boot. Had to power down to get it to come back. Adjusted some settings, did not resolve the issue. Drive continued to randomly lock up the system. Drive failed completely on 7-MAR-2015. BIOS on multiple systems will not recognize the drive. Set up two old Samsung Drives in RAID0 to get the system back up and make sure it was not the Motherboard or System. System functions properly with different SSD Drives in it. Tried again to see if BIOS would recognize the Kingston, it did not. It's dead.

Overall Review: I assumed Kingston was a good, brand name. I only stick with good, brand names.. Kingston was among those. This is my first failure for a kingston product. I understand No Company can put out products with a 0% failure rate. I will not hold it against them if the issue is resolved quickly.

Pros: good mouse for the price.

Cons: Has a "record" button that I hit on accident frequently and it will start recording.

Overall Review: can't beat it for the price.. it ain't no Logitech or Razer, but its decent.

Pros: Nice to have a dedicated unit on the desk to use, and the versatility of multiple outputs, volume control, mute control, etc.

Cons: Drivers are bad. They produce static intermittently. However, if you un-install the drivers and just let Windows (I run Win7 64-Bit) find the unit and install the generic drivers, the until will work (for the most part - the headphone jack and the mic jack will not work with the generic drivers) and there is no intermittent static. So, this leads me to believe the drivers are bad out of the gate. Checking the website, and there are already updated drivers that are not very old at all - but those produce static too.

Overall Review: Its a new product, and they have to straighten out their drivers. Had I known it was such a newer product, I probably wouldn't have bought it as it is not a Necessary thing... more of a Convenience thing... I'm sure once they straighten out their drivers, it will be fine. I will live without the headphone/mic working for the time being.. Hopefully they're working on the drivers. Until the drivers are straightened out, it gets a "2".
