Pros: Great with Graphics, not MUCH of a gamer but suits my needs well for photo work and the occassional game i do happen to play even older ones. Came with DVI cord definate plus for my monitor.

Cons: Can't get it to work correctly(resoulution issues on various dual display settings) with my Viewsonic LCD TV(also purchased from Newegg). Didn't come with adapter(s) (which was told by XFX via phone support,very easy to work with and to understand) should have came with the card as long as it was closed box(factory sealed) which it was at timeof purchase.

Other Thoughts: All around a Great card considering what I had ( Also a NVIDA card) other thean the "cons listed, definately does the job. And i also concurr with thepost that mentions to get the NEWEST drivers from NVIDIA.. they work a lot better than the ones "out of the box".

Pros: Great card, I can run AION and Neverwinter Nights 2 maxed out, both are fairly demanding games, as well as numerous applications in the background.

Greatly exceeded my expectations in performance.

There's tons of people that seem to have absolutely no problem overclocking this card, though I have no need.

Cons: This card comes with a heatsink only the size of the card, no fan. With an 80MM fan running 2600RPM ziptied to the heatsink and Arctic Silver 5 it is now idling at 41C Vs. 50-55C and same temp difference is shown when gaming.

It's no surprise but the stock thermal compound is junk but XFX doesn't have a problem with you putting new thermal paste on it just go very lightly with it.

Other Thoughts: With an 80MM 2-ball bearing fan ziptied to this and it running full blast there is no extra noise. If you get one of these just ziptie a 80mm double ballbearing fan blowing onto it instead of away and it will stay nicely cool.

Great for the price, fairly quick shipping, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one of these cards for a gaming PC. It may not be a hardcore graphics card but if you are seriously looking for one, odds are you won't even be looking at this product anyway.
