Pros: Nvidia - if you are a Nvidia believer. Runs cool and quiet. I never write reviews, I am trying to save you some $$.
Cons: Way over priced. Bottom line is that if you are running a CAD application, you don't need this card. Your application will not tap the full power of the card, and therefore all you need is a FX 3800 at the most. I had lots of back and forth with Nvidia, and they admit that many users "over buy" graphics cards. They said there are very few applications that can benefit from this card, the example they use as a good fit for this card is oil exploration applications. I tested a number of cards in my HP Z800 workstation, but I wasted good $$ on the FX 4800. CAD is not a high frame rate app, and the large video buffer provides little benefit because the CAD app can't see the full buffer. If you are running high frame rates like video editing then get a gaming card. Go to the Nvidia site and compare the performance - the gaming cards wipe out the "professional" cards from a performance per $ standpoint. Also tried a GTX 295, it was no better than a 8400GS for CAD.
Other Thoughts: Have been solid modeling since 1988. Currently running Pro/E WF5 and SolidWorks 2010. Application is to import scan data and create surface models. Last scan job was 14 million polygons. Tried FX 1800 and it wasn't cutting it. Called and emailed Nvidia. They said the FX 4800 would do the trick. It ends up that both Pro/E and SolidWorks cannot tap the full power of this card. Pro/E handles the data better than SolidWorks, but that is the software not the card. If you are running high frame rate applications consider saving big $$ and buy a gaming card. There is a raging debate about whether you can use gaming cards for CAD. They are exactly the same hardware, so you are paying for the drivers. I tried a 8400GS gaming card and it worked great. I used it for a month, modeling every day in both Pro/E and SW. For $40 the performance was awesome. It did have some instability related to the driver so you have to decide if the driver is worth it. If you are running CAD buy a FX 1800 or 3800.

Pros: I bought this card to put in a new workstation that I'm running SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation. With part detail turned to high this card doesn't miss a beat (frame). I've had no problems with this card at all. I'm running Windows 7 RC with one 5570 Nahelam 12GB RAM.
Cons: Pricey, but if you need the performance it's worth every dollar.
Other Thoughts: Buy this card again in a heart beat.

Pros: Viewports in Maya are quick and responsive even with the heaviest scenes. Contrary to what the other reviewer said, I have had no problem with DisplayPort. I run my primary monitor off the DVI and a secondary off one of the DisplayPort and if anything, the secondary monitor is faster to wake up than the primary.
Low power consumption. Extremely fast and robust card. No complains.
Cons: Large physical footprint but that is to be expected. Perhaps a second DVI port as opposed to 2 displayports would have been handy but an displayport to DVI adapter is included (which is very sleek) so it's no problem.
