Other Thoughts: The size and power supply requirements needed in order to run this card are readily displayed. I would recommend checking them before purchasing it.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Does a good job with everything I've thrown at it. (mmo's and 3D modeling applications mostly)

Cons: Runs hot. I've added several extra fans just to keep it cool. It's monsterously huge.

Other Thoughts: I've heard that it isn't a major step up from the 8xxx series cards, which may be true. My motherboard wasn't SLI capable so I wanted something that would run like SLI without needing to buy a new motherboard and this did the trick.

Case size could be an issue with the size of the card as well as chipset positioning on motherboards. If you have a fan mounted on your chipset and it's near your pci-e slot, you could run into problems mounting it. Just do a little research before purchasing!
