Pros: I just wanted a card that could play TF2 decently on medium for my cousin. It ended up playing TF2 on high/medium and even oblivion on high decently (30~45fps).

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Mine came with the fan :P

Pros: Great card for the price, bought it just to get a little more kick in graphics on wow because the onboard just wasnt doing the job. I get on average of about 30-40fps outside of the city's and not much lower in them with graphics cranked all the way up and at 1280x1024 resolution. Card stay's nice and cool never had above 52*C even after playing for 8 hours straight.

Cons: Dont mess around with the overclocking utility to much unless you know what your doing you can get some graphical errors if you try to put it up to much and not have the correct amount of power flowing into the card.

Other Thoughts: Great bang for the buck, looked around for a mediocre card for quite awhile and if your a WoW fan it does the job just fine to give you smooth play and some nice graphics.

Pros: Nice price point. Solid upgrade for low/mid-range "stock" systems. Great performance with older games. Doesn't make alot of noise.

Cons: Unless it breaks in a few months, none. I remember the name Biostar as being decently well-regarded so hopefully this won't be an issue.

Other Thoughts: I bought this thing as a basic upgrade for a less than stellar system so I could at least play some decent games on it. The price of this particular unit really sold me on it over the GT model (plus i didn't want to risk overtaxing my pretty weak PSU) and makes it a really good value for the money. Plays Dawn of War maxed out almost perfect, very good with BF2 and BF2142; solid on Company of Heroes if you don't push it too hard.
