Pros: My previous 3 cards were ATI and I was leaning toward 4870 1GB. But at this card's current price, considering the lifetime warranty of BFG, it was too good a value to pass up. With the fan speed upped from 40 to 50%, the card idles at ~45C and ~65C under load. In my case the GTX 260's fan is not audible below 60%.

Cons: I wish Nvidia included the ability to force refresh rates in the driver control panel. ATI includes this feature in its Catalyst program (note this has nothing to do with BFG).

Other Thoughts: system:
