ASUS ENGTX560 DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: good card, quit, dose what I need it to

Cons: none

Pros: Easy to overclock, running 1,117 mhz @ 79C on air, and still haven't maxed. Running F@H 24/7 with no issues so far...
Easy to install, top mount power plugs is a big help in a narrow case like mine (Gigabyte GZ-F4).

Cons: Asus OC software is a joke.....

Other Thoughts: Run this with MSI AfterBurner and overclocking is a breeze!
Make sure it's got plenty of power! I'm running a Corsair VX550W with no problems at all.

Pros: best better than ti best gtx 560 i have seen better than the 2gb ones.
very very nice

Cons: NONE!

Pros: > Easy, dynamic overclocking
> Allocating CPU load to graphics card is an awesome feature (where supported)
> Very high performance (benchmarked as outperforming the more expensive Ti version multiple times)
> Runs fairly cool (~27°C idle, ~36°C in game, ~56°C in game with full hyperdrive overclocking) in a not-so-well ventilated case
> Great design, packaging
> 3D support, if applicable

Cons: > Had some issues with drivers. Screen started to "glitch out" and nVidia drivers were constantly crashing. Had to manually re-install drivers and roll back a few times, but haven't had any issues since
> ASUS Smartdoctor (with hyperdrive features etc.) seemed a bit buggy at times. Certain options left screen hanging
> "ASUS Splendid" option would crash explorer.exe
> Fairly large (not much of a con, nowadays)
> Takes 2 PCI power connectors/4 4-pins (again, not much of a con)

Other Thoughts: First, I want to say that I bought this card with an old power supply and didn't have enough connectors to actually power this beast. Older PSU's or a computer filled with extras may not have enough... remember to double check. Not much of a con since this is pretty commonplace now.

Overall it's a pretty great card. The factory overclocking makes this easily the top of the 560's under the Ti and under certain situations it even outperforms that. Pretty much the only issues experienced with this card so far have been software related. Had it not been for the minor software glitches this would have been worth 5 eggs. Probably the best nVidia card for the buck.

Great high-end budget card all in all.

Pros: This thing is fast.Chews BF3 up and spits it out on ultra settings.Then asks for more.The only setting I lowered was AA.Didn't have to, but I always opt for a simple 2x AA only in any game I play.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Mabey I could have gotten the TI version for ~40$ more, but as far as I can tell it's not needed (in the real world).

Pros: Runs like a champ!!! easy to use!!!

Cons: Consoles collecting dust!!!

Other Thoughts: Thought i would have to uprade to a 7970 in the future...but it sounds like i can sli and have horse power to spare for a couple of years.

Pros: Very fast
Very cool (idles ~30C, max ~40C, in a high air flow case)
Easy to install
Handles WoW and Wizard 101 with ease at max settings (1920x1200 resolution)

Cons: I had it for about 3 months before I started noticing problems. At first, I just experienced some BSOD's with one of the Nvidia drivers as the .dll involved while playing various ONLINE games (WoW, Wizard101, etc.). As time went on, the Nvidia driver would start resetting the card because it froze (with appropriate notification in the start bar). Most recently any time the card gets at or above 36C, my system will freeze and ONLY while playing games.

So, three weeks ago, I spent 45-60 minutes online with ASUS chat tech support and the rep told me he would have to talk to an engineer and call me back (chat requires your name, phone number, and email address to start). I asked how long until they called back, he said a day. It's been 3 weeks now. Of course their chat didn't send a transcript OR a case number, so they probably don't have any record of my first contact.

I tried chat again today & waited over 15 min with no response. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't wait foreve

Other Thoughts: I've been a long time ASUS customer and the machine I just built has an ASUS WS Revolution MB and this video card. I went with these ASUS boards so I'd have the best in the machine and so I wouldn't have any compatibility issues with support.

I never guessed that my biggest problem would be just GETTING ASUS to give me some support. It appears that I can't get an RMA number (or cross shipment) until I get a case number. ARRRGH!

I've seen that ASUS tech support seems to be active here. I'll update this review based on how my support experience progresses.

Pros: Maintains decent frame rates in the few games I play. Does very well for the price I payed. Quiet fans for most applications. Asus Smartdoctor utility is simple to navigate.

Cons: Fans can get very loud when special effects in games are intensive.

Pros: Nice card, runs most games at 60 fps at nearly max settings without trouble, idling at 32 C and 0.91 V right now.

Cons: Took a little work to get the sound working through HDMI, turns out its got a sound card built into it just for that :)

Its also abit bulky so you will loose one or two of your adjacent slots

Other Thoughts: Don't buy a sound card, if you buy this video card, because there is no sound input port on the card

Pros: The packaging is a great introduction to this card. Sleek and efficient. So far it is a great card, no heat issues and it is silent compared to the SLI GTS 8800s I had before. Frame rates are a little "low" in that they hover around 30 fps at max detail/distance/AA.

Cons: None. Didn't want to shell out the cash for a 570+ and this is meeting all my needs. I'm not so hardcore that I need to see veins in the arms of the people in my games so its a great card as the price drops due to new ones on the market.
