Pros: Wonderful graphics, running every single game in HIGH HIGH without a lag.

Cons: heats up quick, but i knew this problem already.

Other Thoughts: 5/5 stars, great graphics.

Pros: I work at a surveying company where we deal with harsh amount of point clouds in the hundred of billions. We also do high-res orthography up 1.5" resolution pictures. I have installed this card on three computers and none of them have had any hook-ups, and all worked better than we expected to. The only thing that you need to be aware of is that this card requires two power connectors to be connected to it, so be sure that you have a beefy power supply with lots of PCI-E power connectors.

Cons: None - Read Below

Other Thoughts: This this is HUGE....weighs over 5 kilos and is so long, that I bought a case specifically to handle it's length. This card will not fit in most mid-size cases that have the hard drives running in line with the case, as opposed to having them be perpendicular. Be sure you have a nice big case before purchasing this card.

Pros: Incredible. I couldn't be happier. The first game I installed on my new rig was Counter Strike: Source. I consistantly have 300fps (the max CS will allow you to have) with max resolution and graphics all the way up. Every game I toss at this beast chews it up and spits it out with incredible performance. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend this card.

Cons: It runs hot, but that's not a problem. I purchased a COOLER MASTER HAF 922 case and it keeps that baby under control. I also installed two seperate fans into the side panel just in case. In all...I'd say I have zero complaints.

Other Thoughts: Get it.

Pros: Works great. Never get below 80 fps in Team Fortress 2 on highest graphics settings, average fps is between 90 and 100, and that's with a movie playing on a second monitor.

Cons: Every once it a while TF2 will stutter for a second, but then return to normal. Only happens like once every couple of weeks though, and I'm not sure if its even caused by the video card.

Pros: this card is amazing. most of the time on crysis warhead i can get 80fps and that is insane. no problem with heat alittle hot when its on auto fan 84c but when i turn it on manual at 52% i can keep it around 54C i love this card. and i think the bigger the card the better lets people know that you mean it when it comes to gaming. love this card!

Cons: eats my 1000w power supply alive

Pros: Absolutely amazing. I put every game on their highest settings and, combined with the other pieces I bought, the games run flawlessly. I have had no driver issues of any kind with this card.

Cons: Incredibly hot. The automatic fan control on this thing is useless. Don't ever use that setting. I set mine up to run at 70% all the time just to keep this thing withing playable status. The small room it's kept in is a completely different climate, so I'm going to get some nice high-RPM fans in my full tower to keep this baby nice and cool.

Other Thoughts: Other than the heat issue and the automatic fan control, this card is amazing.

Pros: Very quiet, CCC is easy to understand and use.

Cons: Can't play half of my games for the life of me. Getting error "Video Driver got Stuck in an Infinate Loop" on the majority of my Steam games. Troubleshot for a few hours to no avail. L4D and Assassin's Creed? Not gunna work. However, I'ev got Windows Vista 64 bit and apparently it works totally fine with XP.

Pros: Easy to install.

Cons: Warcraft does not support the crossfire setup of the 2 cores. On my 22" monitor running 1600x1050, I should be able to play at max settings, but could not at half of max in raids or FPS would drop below 20. Also raised the temp of my case by 20 degrees f, even with 2 x 90mm and one 120mm fans all on high.

Other Thoughts: The board is so long it covers 2 of my sata ports on my MOBO. Based on WoW not performing well I will be returning the card and likely getting a 285 instead.

Pros: Greatest card I've ever owned. I run all of my games with everything on its maximum settings. Crysis runs so smooth combined with the other components I bought.

Cons: Hot HOt HOT! This card generates SO much heat! I could just use this as a climate control device for heat purposes. The automatic fan control on the card is absolute garbage. If I turn off manual control the fan barely speeds up when the card should basically be melting. In my book that is a definite no-no. I didn't pay $500 just to have this card melt and become a very expensive paperweight. Other than the heat issue this card is FANTASTIC!

Pros: Powerful, Price, 2 Gig of video ram.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have been using this card for 6 months now. Card had been working perfectly. Due to my monitor, I can only run games at 1920*1080 and every game I have tested runs smooth with all the settings at max. I don't know why people complain about the heat or fan noise, I can't hear my PC when I have my headphone on or when my sound system is active. I am using this video card on a custom built Intel Quadcore 6600, 2 gig of ddr ram with Windows 7 RC PC. This video card have so much more to offer compare to geforce gtx 295 with 120 dollars less and not to mention directx 10.1 support on FarCry 2 and Stalker Clearsky! Buy this card and please don't overpriced geforce gtx 295, price difference isn't worth it.
