Impressive PerformanceBetter Than Expected for the Price

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition 16GB GDDR7 TUF-RTX5070TI-O16G-GAMING PCI-Express 5.0 DLSS 4.0 Graphics Card

Overall Review: Many people say the 5070 Ti isnt worth the $999.99 price tag, and I understand where theyre coming fromtheres definitely some truth to that argument. However, let me share my personal experience. Right out of the box, with no additional overclocking, my 5070 Ti scored 37,351 on PassMark. For context, thats higher than the current average score for the 5080 (36,150) and just slightly below the 4090 (38,305). Maybe I got lucky, or maybe ASUS uses higher-binned chips in their more premium modelsbut either way, the performance exceeded my expectations. At the time of purchase, finding a 5080 at MSRP was nearly impossible. Given that, I feel confident I made the right decision with the 5070 Ti.

Good

Overall Review: I use it for my vintage Windows 98/XP machine and it does the job.

So far I like it...

Pros: This card is really great for 1 screen 1080p gaming on high or ultra settings. I played Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Evil Within, Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 4 on MAX video settings and never had even a lag. It is also quiet and cool.

Cons: Sometimes I get artifacts when browsing in Firefox, maybe 1-2 times a week. I never had any artifacts in games.

Overall Review: Got it really cheap on sale and I am very pleased

Good hard drive to store my movies

I love this soundcard!

Pros: I definitely hear the difference between on-board Realtek and Creative Z. Much better music and gaming sound quality! Buy this one and you would not regret! Absolutely compatible with Windows 8.1, no issues with drivers.

Cons: NOPE!

Overall Review: I had to replace originally received card. Red light was on, but BIOS and OS could not detect it, I tried different solutions and already thought that this is my Asus P67 motherboard's issue. But I decided to replace the card and the second one was immediately detected by OS and it now works like a charm!

Amazing monitor for the price!

Pros: - It's huge comparing to my old 20" Acer - VA matrix with great bright colors - good stable stand - mine came without bad pixels - no ghosting issues

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I was not able to test internal speakers and i am not going to, cause I have separate sound system
