"LIfetime" is not lifetime
- Pros: None.
- Cons: I didn't buy this card, but I bought another one from XFX. 18 months later, it stopped working. Turns out, the capacitors blew on it. Blown caps is a sign of cheap components. Now I'm plodding through XFX's "support" to get it replaced.
- Other Thoughts: Even though they keep saying "Lifetime warranty", the warranty is lifetime ONLY IF YOU REGISTER THE PRODUCT WITHIN 30 days! It says so in their TOS.
Bought the Cheaper priced version
- Pros: I bought The Cheaper Priced version for 10 bucks less and still was able to over clock to --- 940mhz and Memory at
(4600mhz) Both are pretty much the same card lol , But if your willing to spend 10 more bucks to feel safer is up to you either way these cards are freaking sweet. Can't wait to buy another 1 lol.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: None
Good so far
- Pros: I am finding this card to be doing the job perfectly. I am still trying to overclock this card, currently core @ 900 MHz, memory @ 1150 (4600MHz). I set my fan speed to 55%, yes is it little noisy, but I game with a headset so I don't hear it at all. Idle temps are 35°C (100% fan I got it down to 32°C), while on load the highest 'I've seen' was 56°C.
- Cons: The only con I can think of is really a simple of issue of getting a higher stable core clock. Some reviews boost they can get 1000MHz core clock, last time I tried a higher core clock like 950 Aion and L4D after about a hour to two hours will crash. Well not crash its more like windows 7 prevents it from happening which will shut down the driver and reboot it. Doing so will cause those games to close. I guess I can try going for 1000MHz with a higher fan speed... noise of the fan @ 100% is like a hair dryer.
Minor cons for the most part, thats if your picky about them.

This was my first build ever, wasn't too for me to do. Put a 64-bit Windows 7 Pro on it and it was done at that point, apart from my rookie attempts for overclocking. My old system was a P4 2.4Ghz paired an AGP GeForce 6800GT, I would get about 30 FPS on L4D on the lowest setting. With my current rig, er the lowest I got it to was 80 FPS on with everything on the highest you can put it. 80FPS was the low during an horde event mixed in with some fire. Averages at 120-180FPS, apparently the highest FPS you can get on L4D is 299 lol.
