Pros: Primarily use this gpu for large assembly models in solid works 2008 & 2009. Previously had many issues when loading large assemblies, but once I installed this V8700, all my problems disappeared. I can run over 2,000 individual solidworks models in an assembly in lightweight mode, with realview graphics on and shadows... if anybody knows solidworks, you can understand the power needed for this...

Cons: Only one dvi output. Not too fond of having 1 dvi output and 2 displayport outputs. to run dual screens on dual dvi monitors, you have to start converting signals with not so cheap adapters.

Overall Review: Keep in mind this is a very large, heavy, power hungry card. I advise ensuring you have the room and 2 extra 6 pin power adapters from your power supply to run this beast. Most P/S only have 1 six pin power adapter...
