Pros: I have had this card for a few months now and it has brought my mediocre system right up to playing new games. I play WAW online and it runs great for me although due to my system I have to keep things turned down some.

Cons: HEAT, I shoe horned this thing into my old HP case with NO ROOM to spare. After a couple of weeks playing with this card it started crashing on me and I was only able to play with the side of my computer off. Also as many others have said this thing is MASSIVE you need alot of room for it plus the onboard fan is about as loud as can be when it is running strong.

Pros: None

Cons: Runs hot even in may haf 932 and running fan 100% it sits idle at about 50c's, under loads it reaches high 60c's
Fan is loud even at 70% and you cant lower the fan speed cause you run the risk of overheating.

Pros: Works great. Excellent video and game performance. Mostly used on a desktop application with a few games.

Cons: Long! And I don't like the exhaust fan blowing towards the front of the case. Other than that it works flawless.
