Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Unbelievable performance. I never dreamed this card would easily outperform my 7950 GX2 on DX9 games. Very impressive performance on my Dell 30" at 2560 x 1600. I have a digital audio workstation based on a commando m/b. Ram is essential for sample-based music, so I loaded it up with 4 GB. I then added the 1GB 7950 GX2 and a smaller 7900 KO 256 to run three monitors. What I didn't realize at the time was that a 32 bit system can only access 4gb of memory, which INCLUDES memory on the video cards. (So that's why windows wouldn't recognize all of my system memory!) I couldn't justify the 1GB GX2 knowing this, so I thought I'd have to compromise gaming performance. The 512mb (two cards soon) was as much as I could give up for video. Haven't tried two cards or crossfire yet. Wanted to try out one card to see if it really "lags in xp". NO WAY!!! Just awesome!
Cons: What? No scantily-clad warrior princess on the shroud?? Whassupwithat??
Other Thoughts: Can't wait to complete changeover to Maximus and crossfire with pcie 2.0.

Good 1080P Card

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Excellent card with the new catalyst drivers catalyst 8.2, this fixes some choppy audio (hdmi) and video with this card. The new drivers also seem to fix the hdtv scaling options where the 1080P television would not display into the entire television. This card has a vista score of 5.9 with the drivers installed. Does not get hot unless well overclocked
asus m2npv-vm
amd 5000+ black
2 gigs kinston
raptor drive and wd rd 4000 drive
This card fits into a single slot which is nice when you have an HTPC.
extreme audio card
Cons: non to think of when the newest drivers are installed.
Other Thoughts: good card this card rivals more expensive ones.
