Pros: *silent*, no need for separate power cable, smart power-on-demand behavior, runs cool even in a compact case (36C in normal operation with just the CPU fan there and a fanless powersupply)
Cons: the design of the heating pipes sticking out could be problematic in very compact builds (but then those probably would use integrated graphics)
Overall Review: just what i needed: i was not looking for a gaming platform, rather just to bring up the somewhat anemic WEI of the integrated graphics on a i5-661 (4.1) to a higher standard and extend my workstation's life. the new WEI of 6.8 for graphics certainly achieves that. it is a surprisingly high card, but fits without an issue into Silverstone Sugo SG1 and 2 cases. System power barely goes up because this card seems very smart in how it draws power. The system remains just as cool with this addition. yes it is a double slot, but hey most graphics cards that pack some umph will be. silent, wei of 6.8 and power efficient at around $80 means 5 stars, no doubt.
