Pros: Three monitors worked at 1920x1080 out of the box with an active-DP (single-link) adapter. It's quiet. It runs Skyrim smoothly at 1920x1080 with everything maxed (except view distances and settings that require 64 bit) without the card budging from 48 degrees C or the fans going past 48%. World of Tanks is either insanely hard on cards or is inefficient as it only gets around 20 to 50 fps with all settings maxed running in a window at less than 1920x1080. Nice and quiet.

Cons: With the Catalyst 11.11b drivers I've crashed to desktop twice in about 5 hours of Skyrim.

Overall Review: This card is almost a foot long. I had plenty of room but those with smaller cases should take note. The card came with no adapters for DVI, VGA or HDMI. Takes a 6 pin and an 8 pin power connector (i.e. at the same time). Have not tried out Eyefinity yet.

Pros: Amazing card, getting great preformance out of it, card is about 11" long, i have a Antec 902v3 case, and i must say that if you use this card in that case, you must move your hard drives away from the card, or the card will not fit.

Cons: Rather upset that i didnt get the HDMI cable that the pictures shown...Doesnt come with a card or any info about whats included in the box, so i cant deduct a Egg for that. Other than that its all fine and dandy with this card.

Overall Review: It wont make me any sandwiches :( Dumped my girlfriend in hopes that it would...i thought wrong lol.

Pros: Been stress testing this baby this week and it just tears through everything. The tri fan setup cooling is also great. If you want a beast of a GFX card, but do not want to spend 500+, give this guy a shot.

Cons: There is one con though. If you are worried about noise at all, this thing does sound like a tank sometimes during extended sessions of intense graphics play. I am running it inside a Cooler Master HAF 932 case, and when the tri fan setup kicks into high gear to keep this puppy cool, it can end up sounding like a hurricane at times. But the HAF 932 is a pretty open case, so I am sure if put in a quieter case, the noise level would drop dramatically.

Pros: When it works, it works well. (Note: to get it to work well you make need to update the BIOS from Gigabyte's website for the video card ITSELF!)

Cons: THE HEAT SINK FELL OFF THE CARD! No kidding, the heat sink turns out to be soldered onto a bracket. (As opposed to braised...) So it appears that the COLD SOLDER JOINTS on the card gave way and the MASSIVE heatsink fell off the card and the GPU burned up. You may want to stay away from this card or it newer cousin, then 7000 series 3 fan unit!

Overall Review: I'm relatively shocked that such a highend card would suffer from such a serious lack of quality control or design. The real determining factor will be if the card is replaced in a timely fashion. Of course, I have photos... and there is no way the card got to 700 degrees F and the solder melted... so it really is a design issue. It's really disturbing when you smell burnt electronics on you LGA 2011 based system, open the case, and see a massive heatsink sitting on top of $500 LSI SAS controller... Let alone the massively expensive rest of the high end system...

Pros: Lightning fast, incredibly powerful. Two of these in SLI would be crazy fast. The fans are whisper quiet, haven't really heard them turn on yet. Came with a free dues ex game.

Cons: First, the card is HUGE. Made cabling in my case (Antec 1200 v3) difficult, and covered two SATA slots (Wire your drives before install) Does NOT come with any video cables other than an 8 to6 pin power adapter, which I had to use because it takes an 8 pin and a 6 pin power connection at the same time. Kinda frustrating because it was shown in the picture.

Pros: This card can handle all graphics on max. Not loud and has 3 fans. I actually spent 5 mins just looking at it when I got it. Superb craftsmanship.

Cons: Card just died on me. Bought it in may 2011 and it died in november 2011...Since this was a gift from my father in law for my birthday, I have to have him RMA this for me. Funny thing is that he lives in california and realized that Gigabyte is just a drive away from him lol. Hes making a trip for me. First time I took a chance on gigabyte and hopefully Im just one of those rare instances of a card going bad.

Pros: 2 gig mem makes a big difference. Going from 5870 to this card was a noticeable improvement. The 3 fan cooling system is vastly superior to the small single fan that was on my 5870. Much quieter when it kicks on. Well packaged with rubber protecotrs on all interfacing bits.

Cons: V-sync seems to be problematic on this card. Generates weird visual artifacts and caused a crash on Civilization 5 DX11. Not sure if this is a Gigabyte issue or an ati driver problem. The porblems did not exist with 5870.

Overall Review: You could probably get away with 6870 without noticeable reduction in performance. There would be a noticeable reduction in price ;p

Pros: Great Product. Def improvement on HD 5850 runs cool and stable. 38-45 c Idle and no more the 68 c on load. Cooling works better then the stock on other 6970's. Price was right. Every Game with every perk full out. Vast improvement on tessellation increasingly important on new games. Crysis 2 runs highest settings smooth as butter. Metro 2033 with 5850 15-30 frames per sec with this card 30-55.

Cons: Power hungry. Doesn't have the same outputs on back as the other 6970's, outputs include 1 display port, 2 DVI, 1 HDMI Vs. normal 6970 2 mini display ports, 2 DVI, 1 HDMI Don't know why this was done. but unless you do serious 4 screen gaming doesn't matter. Also no bios reset switch, again if you don't tweak your card it wont matter.

Overall Review: stay away from the stock rear exhaust solutions the may get as hot as 100 c not good for you card or your case temps. also the fans tend to die fairly quick
