Pros: I can get 2 cards for the price of one 580, and with the NF200 chip on the ROG Maximus board, it SMOKES one 580! Had some issues initially, but then downloaded the new Nvidia beta drivers (290.36), and it is now PERFECT!

Cons: None

Pros: Great board, great features. All these poor reviews (IMHO) are mostly operator error! I have been buying nothing but xfx for about 2 years now, and have always been very happy. If something is ever wrong, they go over and above the call of duty to help fix the problem. I only have had one problem, and it turned out to be the ram, and not the 780i board. There are some VERY CRUCIAL details on this board in regards to installation like the memory banks, and the order etc, as well as some other things that if not done right...you will not post. (AND IT'S NOT THE MOBO'S FAULT!)

Cons: A bit more software would be nice, but all the accessories were great! Also some more overclocking tools would be good.

Overall Review: When buying this board, or looking at reviews, TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION operator fault with all the people new to this motherboard configuration (x58-i7) They waited 6months longer than any other manufacturer to work out the bugs, and it shows. They will stand behind the board and make sure that you are happy...They always have for me!
