Didn't work for me.

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Looked good.
Cons: Didn't work. Spun high, then low, but nothing ever happened. I intended to rma for a replacement, but instead got a refund. I must have misclicked. I got a cheaper (probably not as good) nvidia card instead.

Also, and I don't know if this is the norm nowadays, but the thing was so huge it actually bumped up against my hard drive all the way on the front of the tower and required me remove some wires from my motherboard just to add and remove this thing.
Other Thoughts: I really really wanted to get an ATI working due to AMD's willingness to work with open source. It would have been really great to have drivers "just work" in linux in a couple years when this machine is retired from gaming. But it was not to be.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Man this card is fantastic! I recently built a computer a month or so ago...
Here are the specs
AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.2 ghz
Gigabyte MA770-UD3
OCZ DDR2 4GB of 800 mhz
OCZ 600 watt Steathxstream PSU
Hitachi 500 gb hard drive SATA
and this baby....
I can play Company of Heroes on Directx 10 with x4 anti aliasing and all settings on high ^^ it averages about 30-40 fps, with directx 9 however it jumps up to 60 fps....this should handle crysis pretty well i must say.
Cons: only problems are that the card seems to heat up pretty well. Memory alone heats up about 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The heatsink is pretty fancy however, it doesnt blow alot of air out the back....maybe it just blows inward? I haven't the slightest idea honestly.
Other Thoughts: no problems other than the fans...
Also, you don't get a Molex to 6 PIN PCI-e connector with the box, and it doesn't have VGA or HDMI built into the card itself, you have to use the adapters that came with the card. Really wish it came with the molex connector >.<
