Pros: Works amazing, Took my wow performance from 22 max Fps and a average 15, with as low as 2 fps in cities and at minimum settings, to 60 constant even in major cities and instances with default-max settings. Gonna throw Dragon age origins, and crysis at it when i get more $.
Cons: Runs a bit hot, abt 50 idle, and 54-58 load so far but thats probably due to the Overclock.
Other Thoughts: The card is a bit longer than most that ive seen, but poses no problems
Pros: Works great. Runs most everything I throw at it at high setting with no lag.
Cons: Runs pretty hot. Sometimes I get a little stuttering when the fan kicks on.
Pros: Working better than expected. Plays everything thrown at it without problem.
Cons: Could blow heat in a better direction but hasn't caused any problems so far.
Other Thoughts: Originally bought this card when i thought my old video card had taken its last breath. Sold it to a buddy when I discovered it wasn't the cards fault. So far it is working great for him, he mostly plays WoW, and he is currently playing with all settings maxed on Dial-up with no performance issues. As soon as he finishes paying me back for the card he is gonna throw Crysis at it.
Pros: Okay board, NVIDIA core so it does as expected.
Cons:
Comes with OUTDATED drivers (like two years old)
Runs HOT!!!! Heat is not shipped out of case, blows directly on the hard drive bay in my case... NOT well thought out.
Fan seems to make more noise than CPU cooler!
Other Thoughts: Don't even bother loading the drivers from CD, go straight to NVDIA site and download latest.
Pros: Definately a better card than I was expecting. Can play crysis on all high settings with good frame rates at 1440x900. If a 9800GT is a little too pricey, get this, it's almost as good. If you're expecting a card the size of a 9500, guess again. Although it's not as big as the GTX cards, it is fairly large, so make sure you have room for it before getting it. Same height as any card but 9 inches long and about 1 1/4 inches thick.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts:
Some people mentioned heat and improper memory clock ratings. The cooling fan exhaust heat issue is easily solved. I took out the card slot cover where the fan exhaust is and drilled about 30 small holes in the slot cover, then put it back in. Problem solved.
For the memory speed question, yes the cards memory clock speed is stated as 2000MHz and the overclock utility that comes with the card has it's default setting as 1000MHz. The memory clock is actually running at 1000MHz but the GDDR3 memory doubles the speed. The actual clock speed is 1000MHz, but the effective memory clock speed is 2000MHz.
Pros: Allot of video card for the money. This card does a great job with nearly everything you can throw at it in terms of video games. It arrived very well packaged.
Cons: I guess my biggest problem with this card is the heat it produces is not vented overboard, it's vented inside the pc case. This card runs rather hot, the last thing you need is all that heat dumping into your case. The pics of the card are somewhat deceiving, it appears to be made to vent outside the case, this is not so.
Other Thoughts: Overall a good video card for the money. I would give it 4 out of 5 eggs due to the heat issue. Some reviewers complained about the size of the card but it was a non-issue for me.
Pros: Very reliable and stable card with overclocking software. Inexpensive makes it the card to own if your on a bugget. Complete fan control is a plus.
Cons: Information is misleading, memery clock is only 1000 default not 2000 and will only go to 1320 with overclocking software, shader clock is around 1600 default but will go to 3250. Core clock is accurate at 675 default.
Other Thoughts: DDR3 with 256-bit interface are what really make the difference with performance and speed. This card is huge! if you have an older motherboard with sata ports across from the pci-e slot, that might be a problem but there is space between the heat sink/fan and the actual board that you can fit a connector through but barely.

Pros: Great card for the money so i brought 2 and have them in SLI
Cons: These cards run HOT and due to the fact that they pump hot air into the case rather than have a second card slot outlet to exhaust all that hot air makes them some what of a problem when it comes to case cooling
Other Thoughts: Even using an antec super lanboy case with a 3 speed 120 mm fans in and out it still makes the case very warm to the touch .. I would recommend PCI slot exhaust fans as i have used .. not only does it help case temps down to 25`C .. CPU temps were down by 8`C
