Pros
Pro Copper cooling pipes are a plus
Pro Decent looks
XFX cards are known for odd simplistic design. This card is a clear improvement in aesthetics.
Pro Cards come with Dual bios. Samsung memory, good under-volt on decent OC settings
Cards come with Dual bios. The mining Bios makes 30.15MH/s on Claymore 11.6 with OC core 1150 mem 2175. This is out the box, without flashing BIOS, which means the mining BIOS 'flashed' from XFX factory is still configured to better mem timings for memory optimized coins, but being factory, it must be designed to protect the GPU from pushing it over the limit.For example if you want to mine ZEC, you can switch to the gaming BIOS, and with the best OC settings on either BIOS, the gaming BIOS gives a boost from 300MH/s to 320-330MH/s, so for some coins you can still benefit the other BIOS just with a simple CK switch. The cards are running stable on undervolt 800, core 1150, and mem 2175Mhz. Mining dual like ETH and XVG/DCR you can use the same settings but with undervolt at 810:) This decrease the power usage with a lot, and still keeps the highest MH/s you could achieve anyway, without undervolt, even a bit higher maybe:)
Pro Backplate for protection and aesthetics
The card has a backplate, protecting the GPU and adding to the looks.
