Pros: Plays any game I throw at it on max settings (Bioshock, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, MOA Airborne, Call Of Duty World at War, Red Faction Guerrilla, S.T.A.K.E.R.,Ect...). Thats just with one 5870 card.
Cons: It gets a little hot, but you can control that by downloading the ASUS Smart doctor. It controls fan speed at different temp levels. Otherwise there are no cons.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice, noticeable, upgrade in performance from a GTX 260 - which is not a bad card to begin with. Quiet fan at 'auto' speed setting. Card runs cool. Overclocked to 960-Core and 1250-memory stable.
The card runs all games with higher FPS as others have stated of course; but I've also noticed the 'minimum FPS' are higher with this card as well - i.e., Crysis and Crysis-Wars - the minimum FPS doesn't drop below 30 FPS even in the most demanding game segments, and with ultra settings. Also runs Star-Trek Online and Mass Effect 2 quite well so far. (Just installed these two and so have limited game-play).
Cons: The card is very long - I had to move a drive-cage to accommodate the card. The case is listed as a 'TS514 10-bay case w/250mm side fan' on the Polywell site. But no big deal - just be aware of the length of this card as others have stated.
Other Thoughts: Okay - here's the deal. I'm hoping to save someone out there a lot of time and guess-work solving potential problems associated with installing this card - problems I experienced, but maybe others have not?
I'm not here to flame ASUS or bad-mouth their software; however, for me, I had major problems with the software utilities which ship with this card -- specifically, 1) ASUS Gamer OSD and 2) ASUS Smart Doctor. Yes, I downloaded updated drivers and the latest versions of these software titles from the ASUS site, but still experienced problems - specifically, black-screens on both Crysis and Crysis Wars, as well as Fallout3, for example. None of these titles would load on startup - just black screens. Finally, uninstalling these ASUS software utilities solved all instability issues in all games. All load and play fine now.
Specifications: Asus P5E3 Deluxe/Wi-Fi Motherboard; Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 CPU (3.6 Ghz overclock); 4 gigabytes DDR3 (1333 Mhz) system memory.
