Pros:

Cheaper than most GTX 970 OC cards, Zero noise at low loads, Reasonably quiet
Fantastic pricing, Passive operation in idle/low load, Quiet in gaming, 3x DP output GSync Surround!, Greatly improved efficiency, Large overclock out of the box, HDMI 2.0, 4 GB VRAM, New software features (MFAA, DSR)

Cons:

Strange choice of outputs, No memory overclock, 6pin connectors could do with relocation
Tripleslot cooler takes up extra space and doesn't perform any better than competing 2slot cards, Higher power consumption than GTX 980 reference design, Coil noise, Memory not overclocked, No backplate
