Pros: Very powerful. I may only play team Fortress 2, but I made it so pretty my friends frown at me. Great price. (And Batman: Arkham Asylum as long as they're offering it. Also a good thing.)
Cons: She runs a wee bit hotter than my last card. Installed the utility software, bumped it from 40 to 60%. Helps a lot with heat on both idle and load.
Overall Review: Needs 2x6 PCI-E plugs, but you probably already knew that. When I pulled it out of the box, I lightly tapped it with a beer bottle and dubbed it U.S.S. OMGHUGE. Thing can land aircraft on it.
