Pros: I recently purchased this off of another website and I have to say I absolutely love this card! its overclock abilities are INSANE once you flash the bios to MSI, I went from stock 725/1000 to 950/1150 @ 1.2v and it runs at 56c on full 100% load for 3 hours!
It is abit loud though at 50%, I leave it at 55%. blows every game I put in away, Truely worth the money. I am Extremely happy with my purchase! I achieved a 18400 in 3dmark vantage.
Cons: -Loud Fan at Higher Fan Speeds -Doesn't include a time machine -doesn't vend rockstar energy drinks
Other Thoughts: Best card I've ever owned and highly worth the money, it out throws the 5870 when overclocked easily.

Pros: Not an overly large card, same size as an average 4000 series card. Newest drivers have not caused me a single issue on my new rig. Runs everything butter smooth on max settings (1900x1200?? res). This can be equivalent to a 4850-4870 in crossfire, while the 5870 equates to a 4870-4890 in crossfire, somewhere around that range, but also carries full dx11 support, power consumption and space of just one card, and cheaper than crossfiring the 2 4800 series cards. Overall it's great, runs games very smoothly on max, even the new battlefield bad company 2 beta runs much better than other beta testers are stating about their older ati's or nvidia cards. Buy it if your in the market, its well worth its cost, and MUCH cheaper than nvidia dx11 cards will cost when released.
Cons: The sticker that is on the plastic cover of this card started to peel halfway off and hang down from the cards heat until i noticed it and just finished peeling it entirely off, not even a big deal and the card isn't hot, just a cheapo sticker. Not like you see the sticker in your case anyways. no heat issues, no driver issues, nothing else at all.
Other Thoughts: Ati rolls nvidia all day. People can gripe all they want ati isn't as good but thats because they haven't had anything other than nvidia cards or they had a whopping one bad experience with ati. Bad parts come on both sides occasionally just as any other parts, that's just how it is, can't ruin the brand just off of one bad experience, considering they're 50% of the video card market.

Pros: Looks Cool Runs Cool Installs Easy Plays Anything
Cons: EVGA doesn't make them. :(
Other Thoughts: The Free Dirt 2 game registration can be found on Diamond's website... Use the search feature on their site to find the link. I think you had to of bought the card before Jan 15 to qualify.
