HIS H679F1GD Radeon HD 6790 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Pros: It worked great, ran everything I threw at it without blinking an eye.

Cons: The fan went out, big surprise right? I really should have listened to the reviews. I sent it in over a month ago for an RMA, when I emailed them about the status, I got a sarcastic reply. I doubt I will be buying any HIS product again, and I certainly won't be purchasing any product that has it's warranty work done by Lexy Corporation.

Other Thoughts: It was such a great card for a couple months before the fan went out.

Pros: Runs all my games on high settings. No problems except fan as stated below.

Cons: Fan issues, returned it to manufacturer once after less than 3 months ownership for fan replacement. Now a few months later the fan is again sounding bad. Two bad fans, paid once already to return to manufacturer and I've only owned card 10 months.

Other Thoughts: If the fan wasn't so loud and temps rising (and one repair already) I would rate 5 stars and recommend.

Pros: plays league of legends no problem

Cons: The fan i tried cleaning it with a a semi wet qtips and the noise is just there i wish i could turn off the fan since i bought a fan that takes out hot air.

Other Thoughts: only bought it for the price.

Pros: Works with most games on medium or high settings. Hasn't crashed on me.

Cons: My roommate got the exact same Vid Card and his fan just made a horrible noise. Mine started make some loud noises as well. So even though I've had this for 10 months, it is sad that I have to replace it even under a year of ownership.

Pros: Out of the gate this is a great card, does everything I need it to at Max settings on Guild Wars 2

Cons: after having this for about 8 months the fan has stopped working properly causing the card to overheat.

Pros: runs any game out there on ultra settings. love this card.

Cons: losses one egg after 5 weeks fan crapped out. ordered a replacement works great now.

Pros: I'm back to give a new review on this card. It's still working great and plays all my games still at high.

Cons: I previously had a 5 egg rating on this card but after 4 months of gaming with it the card started to become really loud. My guess it only does this when it's really hot but my room is cool the entire time.

Other Thoughts: This a great card and works really great most of the reviews that state the card has gotten loud for them after a certain period of time is a review you shouldn't bypass. The card will last but who knows how long it will be until it starts to get loud

Pros: The card is fast and inexpensive and so it was a great price versus performance purchase. I can play BF3 on high settings, on a 30" screen and it looks beautiful with no issues regarding performance.

Cons: Card takes up 2 PCI slots because it's double the width of a normal card. It's a very LONG card as well, check the measurements, for example, I had to rearrange my hard drives and use new flat SATA cables but this is a MB design issue.

I'd have given it a 5/5 but the fan stopped working after 5 months of ownership and the RMA process is not streamlined-your typical send me your broken card, wait up to 30 days to get fixed/replaced and a lot of legal verbage regarding voiding your warranty and not getting your card fixed that made me nervous even though I didn't try a single mod, talk about covering your booty.

Other Thoughts: If you have the room in your case, and it won't get in the way of your motherboard SATA ports, hard drives etc, then it'll work just fine. You could of course always buy an aftermarket fan, I could've done that to fix it of course too but I think a fan shouldn't die after 5 months.

Pros: Plays all of my games on ultra high settings without any problems

Cons: Stock cooler is crazy loud and eventually failed after about 6 months of use.

Other Thoughts: After seeing all of the comments here I decided to forego the warranty and replaced the inadequate and unreliable stock cooler with a Zalman VF3000A from NewEgg. It works great and is remarkably quiet vs the HIS fan. Runs 5 to 10 degrees cooler as well. New Egg offered free shipping and had it here in 2 days.

Pros: Runs most everything I throw at it. Nice frame rates with eye-candy turned up.

Cons: Fan is junk. Fan started getting noisy after a couple of months, RMA'd it back to Wect Coast. Shipping was about $15, gone for 3 weeks. They sent a new card & IT started fan noise within 1 month. So I ordered a better quality fan, replaced it myself & all is good.
