Update 2/28/17
I have been using this for 5760x1080 surround gaming across three monitors for a couple weeks now and it's working wonderfully. No screen tear, no noticeable frame rate drops. I've been playing Battlefront, The Crew, Need For Speed, Borderlands: The PreSequel, and a couple other games that support ultra wide resolutions and it's been keeping up no problem. Great card, if it supported SLI I would buy another.
I just upgraded to this from an XFX Radeon 7870 and the difference this card makes blew me away. My old xfx was really struggling to keep up on games like Battlefront, fallout 4, and Doom, but this card takes all these games without breaking a sweat. I can now play anything I want on the highest graphics settings at 1080p resolution all day long and this card doesn't even flinch. No framerate drops, no screen tear, nothing.
A FurMark test on both cards was really interesting. The xfx hit 80 degrees C in under 45 seconds in the stress test and was only able to render around 40 fps. This Asus card rendered a constant 76 frames and took over 4 minutes to reach 80 degrees c. The ambient air temperature was around 19 degrees C when I ran this test. I am also personally not comfortable with any of my chips getting over 80 degrees C, so that is where I stop the tests. I know that most chips can go hotter without failing, but I am just not comfortable risking it due to my limited computer budget (hence the $200 card).
Please note that I only have 1080p monitors, and I don't plan on upgrading for a while. This card is perfect for 1080p gaming though, and if you're in the same 1080p/budget boat as I am this card is going to last you through quite a few games yet to come on ultra with very good frame rates.
