Pros: - Price - Fastest 6-pin card available - Runs cool and quiet (~60C full load --- case fans make more noise) - Ultra settings on BF4 (assuming rest of computer setup supports the game as well) - Sapphire brand never disappoints

Cons: - Radeon 7870 cousin

Overall Review: Setup configuration: ASRock 970 Extreme3 4 x 2gb 1333 RIPJAW DDR3 RAM 7-7-7-21 Phenom II X4 965 (3.4 GHz stock) Cooler Master HAF XB EVO Case SanDisk SSD + WD Black Updated GPU up from a Radeon 5750 I extensively reviewed this GPU prior to purchasing it. I have a long history with ATI and Sapphire with a relationship that continues to be a positive experience. The main reasons I purchased this had to do with budgetary constraints and the desire for modern technology --- considering this released ~3 weeks ago with a price point that is hard to beat it fit the bill. The reviews show outstanding performance per dollar for a modern card. I still am shocked at its performance with only a 6-pin connector!!! The primary con, which all site reviews will mention, is how this card is essentially a rebranded Radeon 7870 (hardly a con as the 7870, as I understand it, is a very solid card). I happen to have a friend who runs that card and our setup is nearly identical, so I will compare the two this weekend and edit the review. The specifications come out basically the same, however the technology is slightly more advanced and it will have more support as the 7000 series are phased out. Although this may not be a Titan it is absolutely a card worth purchasing --- I need little bragging rights. At the end of the day it performs and does so effectively. Unless you are an OC junkie or are seeking praise, there will be no buyers remorse after purchase and install.

Pros: -Plays bf3 ultra setting 70fps - 50fps -Quiet -Very smooth in games

Cons: Non so far with the card itself

Overall Review: Had to take a star off because i only got a discount for bf4 in my box, When i purcahased the card it said "BattleField 4 Game included, Limited time offer" not sure if they can send me one or what kind of disappointing

Pros: overall great card! I have had it for about a month now. I can run bf4 on ultra setting and get an average of 60 to 70 fps. Very quite and everything runs smoothly and as intended.

Cons: only one problem. My first time i OC the card Bf4 ran for about 45 seconds and then an urgent error message showed. Before i could read it my computer restarted. Started back up fine, and the card was back to normal settings. I re opened BF4 and the screen was twitching. so i restarted the computer once again and then battlefield was working perfect. Haven't had a problem since and the card is doing great!

Pros: plays all my games at max setting with no problems

Cons: Coil Whine when under heavy load can get annoying at times.

Overall Review: i bought this to replace my aging 7750 i had for 1y-3m and that started to coil whine but was lightly and went away after 3 weeks. I just hope my 270 does the same thing. Took an egg off do to the coil whine

Pros: For a single card under $190 with a free copy of BF4 you can't beat the card. I went from an HD5770 Vapor X to this card. Even though I knew what to expect from this card - reading reviews and benchmarks for a month before purchasing - this thing still managed to be better than i thought. I consistently pull 50-60 fps with all settings maxxed. I have OC'd it as far as the AMD drivers will alow and it never heats up more than 65C.

Cons: Even with the easy and simple OC on this card and its cool runnings the difference between stock and Oc aren't really any different. With a 155Mhz OC I only recieved an increase of about 5 fps. Other than that this card is Pro for its price.

Overall Review: I hope these cards will be flashable to 270x like some of the 290's are upgradable.

Pros: Cheap, quiet, and a good overclocker especially since it only accepts a single 6pin pcie connector

Cons: none

Pros: Great card. It's not a 280/290, but it still gets the job done better than all similarly priced cards

Cons: none really.no quadcrossfire

Overall Review: Get decent fps in most games.

Pros: Looks great and can overclock the heck out of it with out major rise in temp.

Cons: none
