Driver problems

ASUS Radeon R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R7260X-DC2OC-2GD5

Pros: This card, for the specs, is amazing and the buy is a fantastic deal...when it works and has great OC capabilities

Cons: Too good to be true price. This card crashes every minute passed boot. Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. Boxed disc drivers were the most stable, but anytime you update it locks your system up every time. Catalyst manager is just hot trash sitting in your lap. On the rare occasion that my card didn't lock my system up and I attempted to get the settings to not be their awful default settings (like 10% of cards full potential) it would freeze up for about a minute or two. When the card was stable enough to run a game it still is very buggy. Artifacting, blurry edges, flickering, black sections, low frame rates you name it this card will have it.

Overall Review: I'd say buy this card now if you're in no absolute rush while the price is low and the card is available, but give it a few months for them to work out the bugs. I only recommend this card to somebody who is searching for a cheap good deal, but at the same time is building a machine over the course of a month or so.
