Best performance
Great overall performance. Full support for 4K gaming
As well as AMD's new Mantle API. Incorporates new audio technology.
Great Performance
Excellent Feature Set
More Flexible Multi-Monitor Configurations Possible
Quiet and Uber Modes
Aggressive Pricing
Fastest single-chip graphics card we've tested
Consistently outpaced Nvidia's GeForce GTX 780—and the $1
000 GTX Titan
At near half the price
Excellent overclocking
Excellent price/performance ratio
Great price
Good performance
Software voltage control possible
Native full-size HDMI and DisplayPort
Improved multi-monitor output
Dual BIOS
4 GB video memory
Support for AMD TrueAudio
Similar performance to the GTX Titan at nearly half the cost a gutsy play that should provoke a response from Nvidia.

Power consumption

But with extra heat and noise
Noise
Noisy
High temperatures
High power consumption
No analog VGA outputs
It's hot enough to remind us of Fermi and it's still priced like a premium card compared to more mainstream Radeons.
