Excellent when liquid cooled7/9/2014 4:35:06 PM
Pros: Excellent card with support for SolidWorks 2014. After liquid cooling with a Corsair H75, the card idles at 45 C with dual monitors and never goes above 50 C when playing games like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Starcraft 2, and Divinity: Original Sin, on max settings. I consider this to be excellent performance because the thermal conditions are optimal, even under full load.
Cons: The heat sink (shame on whoever designed that thing). Initially, I thought this card could not handle games very well since I had to play Starcraft 2 and just about everything else on low settings because the card would heat up to at least 90 C. At idle, temperatures were around 67 C with a single monitor, and close to 80 C with dual monitors. I felt this could be fixed with a simple AIO liquid cooling system from Corsair. I use the H75 with a custom bracket I designed using this card, SolidWorks, and my MakerBot 2X. To be honest, this card should have been liquid cooled from the beginning. The factory heat sink is just awful and, if you remove it, you'll see that the GPU and the VRAM share the same copper block, effectively overheating the VRAM because the fan system cannot dissipate heat fast enough. Minus one egg for a very poorly designed heat sink.
Overall Review: I got this card refurbished from NewEgg for Christmas from my family last year so I've had it for over seven months now. The refurbished product didn't come with software, cables, or anything. It did, however, come with a metal back plate. Of which I no longer use, since the card is liquid cooled.
Many people comment on how expensive this, and other cards like it, are. The reason is that the card needs to have specific certifications from a lot of different companies (because there are many who produce CAD software). This process tends to be very expensive. Also, the people who are usually looking for this type of card is someone who uses CAD software to create things and make money off of it. For the same reason, CAD software also seems unbelievably expensive.

Great Performance and Compatibility!1/19/2012 5:22:53 PM
Pros: This card was an amazing upgrade from the stock dell card i had in here originally. Performance....AMAZING! Runs Auto Cad like a pro! I am extremely pleased with the two cards that i purchased and am going to get this card in my next workstation computer I order. If you are debating whether to buy this card or another, go with this card. Great bang for the money spend on the card.
Cons: No cons, doubt there will ever be any. Always had great luck with ATI/AMD cards.
Pros: I do 2D and 3D illustration and animation, and this card handles it all without breaking a sweat.
After doing some research and hearing some stories about Quadros and multiple monitor setups, I decided to go with the FirePro. I switched to a custom built PC workstation after about a decade of using Macs, and have to say that this card makes it as easy to use multiple monitors as on Macs. I have 3 monitors and it handles them all flawlessly, all using displayports. (It includes four single-link DVI adapters too.) Can arrange them any way you like, no matter what port they're attached to, drivers handle it all.
Also, I heard a lot of negative feedback about ATI/AMD cards and 3D packages compared to Quadros. I have no idea what those folks are talking about, I've not had a single issue in Maya or Houdini. AMD has been apparently working on their drivers with this past GPU generation, and it must be working. I couldn't be happier.
Cons: Barely many.
Documentation is a little sparse. AMD must be still transitioning to the new generation GPUs. Most documentation on their site relates to the ATI series of cards. I specifically wanted information on Crossfire setups, and it was all about the older cards. (If you have the PCIe lanes, they can support up to four. They all need x16 each.)
While super-quiet under normal operation, when it's under heavy load it's super loud. However, I only did this during a stress test. Under normal operation, I haven't stressed it out.
Overall Review: One of the reasons I opted for the this card is the Crossfire capability for future expansion. Using it for awhile however, I'm not sure I'd even need a another one! But, the option is there!
Pros: Fast, robust, quiet, small footprint, heaps of memory, killer performance with 3D and CAD applications.
Cons: Finding the right driver is essential.
Overall Review: OK, I'll admit that I have been a huge ATI hater for years. Purchased this card to replace a Quadro in my workstation and wow, this card is awesome. I run a 3D scanning company and have to deal with huge point clouds and very dense polygon data and this card can cope with everything we throw at it with no problems. I run a wide variety of 3D software including Softimage, Max, ZBrush... you name it and I've had no problems at all with this card. This card smokes my old Quadro and I don't miss it at all. I'm really happy with this card so far and it's changed my mind about AMD/ATI -- this thing is pretty sweet!
Great card if you have DP Monitors10/20/2011 1:22:08 PM
Pros: I did not get to fully use this card because of "con #3" below, but the card for what it did do, was quite, ran cool, looks great and was simple to install, more or less. If I had Display Port monitors I would be staying with this card. So if you want a great, fast display port video card this is a great one to have and is certified with Solid Works 2012.
Cons: First, the drivers that came with the card were buggy, pretty common with ATI so I used the latest drivers from the ATI web site - now AMD.
Second, but really minor was I tried running World of Tanks on this card and all the tanks were invisible with little floating icons where they should be.
Third, and the biggie, do not purchase this card if you want to run DVI displays at 2560 x 1600 resolution. See other thoughts below for the reason.
Overall Review: I'm very technical however it is difficult to keep up with everything all the time. When I purchased this card my display was on the ATI certified working list but it is a DVI display. A Dell 30" 3007wfp-hc however requires DVI-dual mode which is not a native mode to convert from Display Port. So even though ATI is providing what looks like dual mode conversion cables they are in fact single mode and will only support half the resolution.
Pros: single slot, great design, huge packpane heatsink, amd ati autodetect drivers, 4 display ports
Cons: handle in a bad place for even big cases like the haf-x 942. I had to cut off the handle with a dremel. fit after that. no direct support for 4k monitors.
Overall Review: only 2gb but for what it is, if you can get one second hand, it is worth it, otherwise, get two newer gen game cards for everything else. nvidia or ati. this is very 'pro' priced.
Pros: Looks really nice, and performance was awesome when it wanted to work.
Cons: Not Windows 8.1 compatible, they supposedly have the drives that will allow it to work with Windows 8.1 but the drovers don't work. Tried with a single card and with dual cards and with each configuration the systems completely froze, nothing responding at all. It works for about an hour with the version 13 drivers and then freezes again. Had to hard reset the system to get it going again.
Overall Review: Don't waste your money on this card if you are planning to upgrade to windows 8.1
Pros: Excellent card with support for SolidWorks 2014. After liquid cooling with a Corsair H75, the card idles at 45 C with dual monitors and never goes above 50 C when playing games like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Starcraft 2, and Divinity: Original Sin, on max settings.
