Pros: Good card from a good company but...

Cons: I had to cancel an order because ATI's Eyefinity product does not deliver on multi-monitor capability. Yes, if all of but two of your displays are DisplayPort native you will be able to get all five going. The DisplayPort spec calls for dual-mode ports that can output both HDMI and DisplayPort, but ATI has chosen to not implement that part of the spec. If you are like me and have nothing but HDMI inputs on my large format displays, then you are out of luck as there are no active displayport to HDMI converters out there and the costs would be prohibitive if there were. Customers need to be warned up front of this limitation.
