great card
Pros: performance, price(389.00), 2 free game downloads
Cons: length of card, newegg running out of stock to buy another one
Overall Review: well before I bought the card seen some of the reviews that were negative.. still bought card.. I don't know if I got a good card but I have had no issues of what these other people are going through.. updated the drivers to latest beta, no problems, no artifact tearing or blue screen crashes.. most games are found as very high or even ultra.. replaced sli'ed 560s' blows it out of water.. Only issue I had with the card was my old case could not fit it so research b4 you buy but not enough to knock an egg off.. hope it comes back in stock for me to buy one b4 income tax money runs out lol.. also have the card overclocked and no issues rig specs: intel I7 3770 ivy bridge 3.4ghz(oc to 4.2ghz) asus p8z77-v le plus tpu enabled 16mb of corsair vengeance 1600 ddr3 his 3gb radeon hd 7970 video card(oc to 1125mhz gpu clock and 1575mhz memory clock) 1tb wd sata 6gb sec x2 raid 1 lg Blu-ray writer drive windows 7 home premium 64bit oem 10400+ 3dmark 11 free edition
Not worth it
Pros: Rgb fans, came with controller for rgb fans
Cons: No hard drive bays
Overall Review: No
Good but not great
Pros: Very future proof, nvme 4.0 support
Cons: If you get an intel 10000 series the nvme 4.0 slot is disabled because the cpu doesn't support it. Also only 2 nvme slots altogether and one is nvme 3.0
Overall Review: Yes
gaming laptop
Pros: fast processor fairly recent NVidia card built in built in fan and turbo buttons 12gb ram and beautiful 17.3 screen keyboard customizable lighting
Cons: no ssd.. also hard drive is split up for recovery Blu-ray drive could be iffy also built in graphics supersedes NVidia until you specify in game cannot switch on the fly with graphics
Overall Review: really nice laptop but tried to install elder scrolls v with disc and vibrated badly and would not recognize.. only disc so far to not be read.. movies worked.. also not happy having to use intel graphics for most processes.. liked to have NVidia running all the time.. also this messes up the windows experience benchmarks so not able to get good ratings of video.. hard drive drops it to 5.9 because not ssd.. overall gave it 5 stars due to other pluses I posted and new egg got it here quick.. live in nj and was sent out from jersey worked out for me
