meh.
- Pros: Second best ATI card on the market. Behind the 4870 X2.
- Cons: Fan can get VERY loud at Higher temps.
- Other Thoughts: If your looking for a good card for WoW look for something else. Card can't handle max settings on a 1920 x 1200 Resolution. Have them on WoW standard, "Good" setting with only 1x Multisampling and the image still tears and freezes a little every now and then.

Needs aftermarket heatsink
- Pros: Previous price was decent and performance was good until the fan died and temps skyrocketed to 100C, creating BSOD's.
- Cons: The stock fans commonly die at a high rate with this vga card.
Customer service is slow, RMA's are very slow: 4 weeks and no card.
The price of this card is now a joke, not competitive at all.
- Other Thoughts: There are some good aftermarket coolers for this card but they cost between $30-50. and if you add that to the price of the card you could of had a GTX280 or a 4870 1G from a different manufacturer.
The stock fan was a terrible choice by Asus. Look elsewhere.

Make sure you change the fan
- Pros: The card will give you the fps as advertised. Average swings of 35-55 fps when playing Fallout 3 at 1920x1200 (didn't remove the fps cap or maxing out Anti-aliasing). Bottom line, it does it's job for a decent price.
- Cons: First thing that has to go is the fan. I'm definitely a noob when it comes to computers so I was wondering why my system kept shutting down during game play. I finally checked ATI catalyst and saw that my temps were 99 Celsius at idle. After playing games, my temps would go over 114.
- Other Thoughts: I installed an Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo Cooler on the card. All my problems have vanished and my temperatures idle at 37 and peaks at 42. Much better than before. Installation of the cooler was much easier than I thought. Rubbing alcohol is a pain to find in Korea, so I used vodka to rub out the old thermal grease. Don't hate me too much, I had to make due with what's on hand.
Bottom line: Buy this card if it has a good rebate on it and if you have the time to replace the stock cooler.
