SAPPHIRE 100293DP Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Low Profile Ready Video Card w/ Eyefinity

Pros: It's low profile, works on any modern game, quiet, hdmi, supports HD. To give you a perspective, this card can handle Starcraft 2 at 1080p with medium settings and Battlefield 3 at 720p and low settings at about 30fps and more. If you have a slim tower this card is great for HD video or casual gaming.

Cons: It's not more powerful? I did have some trouble when I first used this card, it put borders on every edge of my screen and I couldn't figure it out until some relentless googling. If you have this problem you're supposed to turn of auto scaling in the Catalyst software (if you don' have it, install it). From my understanding, this only happens to certain monitors on all ATI cards.

Other Thoughts: This card installed nicely on my Dell Inspiron 580s which is a slim tower. I would recommend this card for anyone that has a slim tower and wants to do a bit of gaming on it as well. I've had no problems with this card since I had it and I never noticed the noise of the fans.

Pros: I have had zero problems with this card and it works great!

Cons: none

Pros: Amazing graphics card! Much, much better than paying 100-$250 for a top notch card. SUPPORTS DIRECT X 11!!

Cons: N/A

Other Thoughts: The drivers were updated as soon as the card was installed, so if you are running windows 7, there is really no need to install from the disk; just let windows search the net for the driver.

Pros: Works at it should with supplied software.
EyeFinity setup was easy and efficient.
Use a DisplayPort to VGA adaptor.
Runs MS FSX real nice with high settings.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Using a DisplayPort to VGA (with short cable) for main monitor (old Samsung 950B) - One Samsung 740N connected to Dsub and one other 740N connected to DVI-D
with DVI to VGA connector.

Pros: This card is perfect for a triple monitor setup. This is the cheapest card I found that has three outputs with one of them being Displayport. To run three monitors, one of the outputs has to be Displayport - this is because graphics cards only have two clock signals generated for their outputs, and HDMI, VGA, and DVI need them from the graphics card. Displayport gets around this by generating its own, I believe.

I'm running three monitors at the following resolutions: 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200. There's no lag at all in any day to day computing tasks. I do not play any computer games so I have no idea how it performs in gaming.

Finally, it doesn't require a 6 pin or 8 pin connector from the power supply, and only requires a 400W PSU.

Cons: None

Pros: I had purchased this card with a combo originally not knowing exactly what I wanted to do with it, but it found its way into my fathers computer and the ability to run three monitors off of a low profile machine really helped my dad use his desk space much more efficiently and he now wont go back to having less than 3 monitors for work if he can help it.

I haven't really tested out its gaming performance too much, but I can tell you that with an Athlon II X2 250 it does handle all of the source games (Portal 1&2, Left 4 Dead 1&2, TF2, etc.) very well (Over 30FPS) at 1280*1024 with high but not maxed settings. Another bonus with this card is the ability to Fold (Folding at Home) on it with very little temperature increase and virtually no additional noise if any at all.

Cons: I'd personally love to see a low profile card with 2x DVI and an HDMI or Display port, in the budget sector, as this would allow for HDCP compliance on all monitors rather than limiting my father to being able to play Blu-Ray movie on only 2 out of 3 monitors.

Other Thoughts: The Blueish color of this PCB is slightly off from several of the other components in my fathers build, it would be nice if they were a little more standardized across the different companies, but that's just nitpickery.

Pros: Bought this low profile card for a small form factor (SFF) office PC. With a displayport to mini-displayport adapter (not included) connected in between it and a 27" Apple Cinema Display, I now have my best ever setup for software development.

Cons: None

Pros: This is one great Graphics card that allows for high performance gaming at a good cost.

Cons: I saw a 2gb of this card for the same price! Wondering if it is still the same price! :D

Other Thoughts: If this graphics card does not satisfy you, first try upgrading your Computers Ram! It helped me ten fold. :)

Pros: Great price
Low power consumption
Small form factor ready
excellent graphic production quality
Very quiet

Cons: Not top of the line super vid card
Challenging to clean fan

Other Thoughts: Got a nearly identical version (only primary difference was it had an HDMI instead of a display port) of this card when I bought a small form factor PC awhile back, and it was great. Problems arose when I attempted to clean the fan: as we know, fans get dust accumulated and encrusted, cleaning the blades keeps the air cooling optimal. On any version of the 5570 the fan sits low and funnels the air through a heat sink, this means it's held in with three screws which have to come out to get at the gunked up side of the fan blades, challenging, but not impossible. I actually broke one of the blades during the process and ended up buying this new 5570 (after talking with tech support it was just simpler to buy a new one). I take one egg off for challenging maintenance.
Otherwise, excellent card. I'm running it off a 250watt PS with no problems Win7ultimate OS). It will not run starcraft2 at top setting very well, but almost. It does what it's designed for excellently.

Pros: GREAT card for the value!

Cons: As a value card it can't run the latest games at the highest quality. However, if that's what you're looking for why are you looking here?

Other Thoughts: Bought in a combo set for my little brother. He's only 12, so his gaming is limited. Nevertheless, he has no problem running Minecraft maxed out, Starcraft 2 at Medium-High, Oblivion on High, and Terraria.

I found this card through a tomshardware.com review. I am certainly not disappointed with the result!
