Pros:

Massive heat sink enables cool and quiet operation, Bundled support bracket helps keep card stable, Customizable RGB lighting adds enthusiast appeal, Turbine-X feature allows system fan control through sensors integrated on Nitro+ card.
Massive Heatsink, Silent operation while running very cool, External fan control, Excellent VRM cooling solution, Easy to control RGB, Tweaked performance was excellent, Comes with graphics card support bracket

Cons:

Thermal solution occupies three expansion slots, Coil whine is louder than AMD's reference Radeon RX Vega 56, Limited availability and correspondingly untenable price tag
Expensive, comparable to GTX 1080 pricing, Requires 3x 8pin power connectors, Outofthebox performance was lower than expected, As of the time of publishing very hard to find
