5 out of 5 eggsMy computer needs jet fuel now!

Pros: Coolest and best HSFA I've ever seen on a GFX card. Gotta Love ATI for promoting such unique and outrageous cooling solutions for their GPUs ;)

Haven't put it through any of the krem-de-la-krem games for a true stress-test and got AOD set to 750core and 1098mem (DDR makes that 2196MHz) and in the only 'stressful' games I play: WoW max settings with x4AA and 1920x1200@60Hz outdoors I get 20-60FPS depending on the tree count in the area and the x-pac area I'm in... can skyrocket to 70+ in caves ;) Hellgate London I get a consistant 50+ FPS anywhere and doing anything... sweet ;)

Cons: None yet... but looking at getting into more graphically intense gaming like Vanguard and Supreme Commander... I may be upgrading to a 4870x2 in about a year... but will wait to see what's new come that time ;)

Other Thoughts: The HSFA is well designed; running near silent in my open chassis and only runs full blast when I crank it up in WoW for some hot PvP action or in Hellgate slaughtering the countless hordes of demonspawn... can't ask for more... yet ;)

5 out of 5 eggsfast but a little loud

Pros: Fast card for the money

Cons: the fan is louder than any other fan in my computer.

Other Thoughts: On the big side. Had to move my hard drive to get it to fit.

5 out of 5 eggsImpressive

Pros: This card exceeded what I was looking for when I decided to upgrade from the HD3650. I was initially going to switch to NVidia, just from having used them for so long in all of my computers before this one. But once again the HD line amazed me with framerate increases in most of the games.

Cons: Playing multiple instances of World of Warcraft is proving to be a huge challenge. Apparently the most recent few drivers for the normal HD4850 aren't supported, and EAH4850 Matrix from Asus has more drivers than strictly ATI-HD4850 drivers. Obviously, right? Well, I haven't found a driver that allows multiple WoW operation like I was previously doing on the HD3650.

Beyond that one WoW runs flawlessly.

Other Thoughts: I wish they would have been able to somehow have the same driver sets as normal ATI-HD4850, but what can you do when they have such sexier hardware?

No regrets. Still giving it top rating because if I were playing WoW like I probably should be there would be no cons I could find (even though my multitasking tick wont go away.)

5 out of 5 eggsWups Anything

Pros: This card Plays Crysis on medium on my system about 48-60FPS can't dream of a better card. With the Matrix Cooler I say you have 40mhz overclocking room before the fan gets to loud. On standard settings card Idles about 39-42C and under load 48-52C but, I keep the fan around 70percent speed. This card also comes with a program called (I tracker) Hat's off to asus Tweaking this video card now more safe and easy than there previous Smart Doctor Program.

Cons: When my system boots it sounds like a hurricane is blowing through. After Im in windows I tracker takes over and the fan quiets down.

Other Thoughts: System Spec's

Biostar 780G
2x2gb Geil EVO ONE
Vantec 120mm Cooler
680 Watt A-Power Gold Edition
WD caviar 500gb
AMD 7750BE Kuma 2.7-3.0ghz on stock voltages
Thermaltake 120mm smart fan
2 Thermaltake Cyclo slot fans
Vista Premium 32bit
My case I bought of Geeks for about $26

And For anyone who's wondering the Kuma 7750BE makes short work of the Windsor 3.0ghz mainly because of the 2mb L3. Combined with this video card my rigg lays it down.
