Pros: Delivers outstanding performance in Solidworks 2013, 2011, Rapidform XOR and Autocad 2013. In Solidworks I can now load fairly large assemblies with lots of details (such as honeycombs for turbine blades) without any issue. Brought back sanity after torture of using gaming card for CAD work (in my home office). Definitely miles better than Quadro 4000 (which I use at work). Good job AMD, I am happy I took the chance and bought this card after years with Nvidia.
Cons: None really, its fairly large and is a bit pricey, but both are understood considering card's capabilities and purpose.
