Pros: The cooler works great on this card. From stock to over clocked, it keeps the temps low as long as you have decent airflow in your case. This card overclocks quite well using a third party tool. Plays most games out there without a hitch at 1920x1080p and high to highest settings.

Cons: The Gigabyte overclocking software was a throw away for me. I tried the latest version from their website first... no dice. Tried a few different driver versions, including driver versions that I saw mentioned on review sites... no dice. Tried the software that was on the disc just to be thorough... no dice. Oh well, moving on. The BIOS toggle switch is in an impossible position once the card is installed. I managed to get it pressed using a makeshift tool while mounted but it wasn't without some effort. So, I proved that it CAN be pushed while mounted it's just a terrible position for the switch.

Overall Review: Even with the couple of gripes, I am pleased with this card. I want to try SLI with a pair of these in the near future. I'll deal with any heat issues should they arise. It appears they will be well within the thermal envelope in SLI judging by an over clocked load temp of 71 degrees C, we'll see.
