Pros: The "Glaciator" heatsink/fan really works as advertised. My GPU is running 41 C idle, 54 C full load. This compares quite favorably with my EVGA 9800GT with reference design cooler that runs at 52 idle, 67 load with identical speed and performance. Comes with built in HDMI port and SPDIF cable to connect to sound card. ASUS rebate site indicated that they have received and approved my rebate submission within 2 weeks of my sending it in. Now just waiting for the Visa gift card to arrive in the mail.
Cons: Takes up two slots due to oversize cooler. No TV output, but then all the current digital TV's come with HDMI inputs. Component inputs will soon become a thing of the past.
Overall Review: There are certainly faster cards available, but I got this for eighty nine bucks on sale, sixty nine assuming rebate card comes through. It's a great deal for a 9800GT.
