Pros: Fantastic quality and performance. No hiccups, no complaints. Just buy it. Right now. You heard me.
Cons: Card is enormous, but that is typical for a beast like this. No HDMI ports, but DVI is just as good.
Overall Review: I installed this in a custom liquid-cooled computer I was building for a client. He specifically requested this card because it features the CUDA engine, and it is also the most affordable one that the new Adobe Mercury Engine supports. After years with NVIDIA, I converted to ATI because they had high-end cards on sale. Now I wish that I had this NVIDIA one too.
