This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Blazing fast! Great graphics, easy install. CCC easy to use. Catalyst Control makes it easy to overclock this card even higher. Temps aren't high at all, for the size of the card
Cons: price is up there
Other Thoughts: No issues as of yet. System works great. Phenom 9850, Asus MVP, 4 GB XMS dominator 1066, Antec True Power 850 Coolermaster cosmos 1000

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 2 Fans and semi-quiet compared to my last 2 x850 duals.
Cons: 4 different drivers for 4 different games. COD4 singleplayer didnt work at all. Looks like a Rottie but handles like a labradoodle..
Other Thoughts: Bent Capacitors? Anyone else have this problem. 3 different cards over the years and all had massively bent caps.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very fast, beautiful image quality, no heat issues. Using Cat 8.5's with no driver installation problems.

*Using an ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe, Phenom 9850 Black Ed., and 2 GB of G.Skill 1066, with a FSP Group FX760-E Power Supply
Cons: 5 by 5
Other Thoughts: Keep in mind that to get the dual VPU performance you must enable CrossfireX in the CCC, by default this card only uses one VPU.
