Pros: 256 bit! Used or open box, it is a great value. Handles anything (like Crysis); *Much* more capable than my 4670.
Cons: I bought this card as an open box. Great price, but do you know what you're getting? It installed fine and worked, but I quickly ran into problems with instability (most likely due to heat). This was mostly solved by cranking the fan up to 100%, but still problems on Crysis at about 5 minutes of game play. I underclocked the GPU to about 720 Mhz, and now I'm able to play just fine. Not quite what I was expecting, but I still think it was a good price/performance tradeoff.
Other Thoughts: What about aftermarket coolers? That would make sense, if I want to throw another $40-50 at this card, maybe I can get another 20% performance boost from where I'm at right now. I'm not purchasing yet -- the underclock isn't even noticeable.
Under full stress, temps get up to 69 or 70 deg Celsius

Pros: Very good card: solid construction, very high graphics/visuals, can run anything i throw at it (i run 2 of these through crossfire) better than i expected for the money!
Cons: only con i can think of it that they put off a good bit of heat even with the fan on them, so make sure uve got a case that moves some air around

Pros: Great card, beautiful visuals. Runs most games at playable framerates (35+) at 1920x1080, highest settings without issue, which is quite a feat on a CPU that shouldn't be able to handle it. I definitely have a bottleneck there in my system. If you have a newer CPU, you shouldn't have any problem at all hitting playable framerates at high resolutions.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.96ghz (stock @ 2.33ghz) 4g G.Skill DDR3 1600 @ 840mhz XFX Radeon HD 4870 1gb
