Pros: Graphics look awesome for about 5 min and it will handle any game you throw at it almost max settings.

Cons: Crashed after a max of 5 min in most games. My fav GTA4 would have crazy glitches where the car your driving would stop but the audio would continue. then the card would either black out and reset or crash and give the "out of video memory" error. Some times it would crash the whole comp. Games would run more reliably in low setting on my x1650. I called there support, spent 10 bucks to ship it to CA (i live in PA) waited 4 weeks and got my GFX back saying they replaced my card. The card i got back crashed even quicker then my old one and the rear bracket was bent so much i had to use a pair of pliers to get it in my case.

Other Thoughts: I have a 1000 watt PSU, q6600 cpu and 4 gigs of ram.

Manufacturer Response:I am sorry to hear that you received a replacement that was damaged during shipping. Please call us at 800-880-3225. Give the support rep your previous RMA number and we will be able to get that card replaced for you. Thank you.

Pros: Good overall performance. No overheating problems at all [at least when the case side was open], stayed at 55-60C even when I couldn't control the fan speed before the Driver Installation.

AMD is REALLY coming along with their driver support, each release seems to be faster and faster. I'm happy.

Cons: I was kinda expecting the air to be ported directly out of the back vents, but it spews into the case some, especially at lower speeds. Really not a big deal.

Other Thoughts: For this price... GO FOR IT.
