pro : none con : cheap , flimsy plastic cooler . flash\/flicker like crazy whenever the screen switch -lrb- reboot to post , enter & exit bio , and sometimes during game 's cinematic scene when it switch from one scene to the next and screen flash . -rrb- Random stuttering during intensive gaming in diablo3 , Crysis Warhead , leave 4 dead2 . and a kind of faint but continuous coil whine noise that will drive you insane over time . on top of all that , Amazon keep shipping I use video card from they return Center . I pay $ 500 for a video card , but Amazon ship I another customer 's return that clearly be DEFECTIVE . I get a exchange and it have the exact same problem . I uninstall the driver + software and pop in my old xfx hd6970 , everything work just fine . I be now file a full refund and will buy from a retail store . at least I will get a brand new seal video card off the shelf . if a customer return a product because he complain about problem with it , then you should send it back to the manufacturer , not sell it to another customer . that be bad business practice , I be extremely disappoint in Amazon now .
