This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I've been using mine for about a month now with no problems. I've run Crysis at decent settings, not that anything will run that maxed out anyways.
L4D2 maxed out runs fine Bioshock maxed out runs fine Burnout Paradise maxed out runs fine
I've yet to actually slow it down basically, so if you want something to run any game and aren't a benchmark junkie, get this card. I honestly don't see any reason to step up to a 275 or 280/85.
I'll get a new PSU and go SLI when prices come down, but until then I don't even foresee needing a second one.
It's big, but that's for a reason. It has great cooling, I've never gotten it over 70C and mine's got a decent overclock on it.
Cons: None that I've encountered.
Other Thoughts: Best value in my opinion, you should be set for a few years with this, especially if you have an SLI motherboard.

Pros: Ran everything at max settings that I could manage to throw at it.
Cons: This card just died on me a few minutes ago. Lockups started a few weeks ago with increasing frequency. Now my comp will boot, but I have no video. Lasted about 4 months. I'd like a replacement, but with Newegg's 30-day return policy, it's unlikely. I don't know how this card won any awards.
