Pros: Easy to install. Looks good/has a well made feel to it. Runs quiet at idle! Quieter than expected with dual fans. Performs beautifully. Comes with Asus SmartDoctor, a nice tool.

Cons: Latest NVidia drivers cause stuttering issues in-game, even older programs (for example GTA San Andreas). Not much else. Does everything I want it to, performs as I expected it to.

Overall Review: Make sure you've got the right power supply. Calls for 450w PSU minimum, as well as 2 (two) 12v rails - its max draw is 150w. Good ventilation I had to revert drivers back to 275.33 in order to solve performance issues across the board. Took me several days to figure it out - I tried everything but this. I will REPEAT: If you are having weird performance issues, try going back to 275.33. Wish I had known earlier! My system: Intel i5-650 6gb ram RX-530ss PSU (works well) 1tb Seagate 7200 rpm

Pros: Looks beefy, nice strong metal casing and decent size. Runs like a champ, most games with max settings and when things are getting busy on the screen, it will still give you 100+fps.

Cons: Dual fans pretty much tell you this card will run hot, not a whole lot hotter but noticeable. Running dual monitor's will add 5-15c more also, which is normal but just a side note. (1 monitor is a Asus 23' and the 2nd is a 37" Toshiba) 31-35c (idle) = 1 Monitor 44-48c (idle) = 2 Monitors I am aware that my 2nd monitor is a large tv, which is why there is probably a large jump in temps so if you have something smaller, then your temps should be less. It is a good idea to d/l Asus SmartDoctor and setup the Smart Cooling option in the settings and get more airflow. Current setup for SmartCooling is: 43c = Fastest 39c = Fast 33c = Medium 32c = Slow 40c (idle) = 2 Monitors w/Smart Doctor Enabled The dual fans get really loud but your temps will make a huge difference. I don't really use this unless I am gaming because of the noise but don't notice when my headphones are on.

Overall Review: Its a awesome card, but feel that if buyers aren't aware of the heating, they may damage the card. Which would explain why a few reviews on here stated their card died after a few months. Not saying that is the case for all of them, just might be a factor. So put a lil money into a few extra fans to avoid any complications later on.

Pros: Pros? How about everything. Crysis 2 with the DX11 tessellation pack and the high res textures pack is a breeze and max resolution. Looks so good it makes my eyes hurt. Installed the BF3 demo, updated the driver and played - max settings, max resolution, absolutely no stutter and the freakin' thing looks gorgeous. Shipped fast, installed easily, absolutely no problems.

Cons: I uh...ummm....err....wasn't free?

Pros: Dual 80mm Fans, Keeps cool temps compared to single fan cards (52-60c under full load), Great looking card, the card isn't housed in a huge metal box (it actually has airflow), copper tubing. ASUS doctor program is amazing, it really makes overclocking and setting fan thresholds very easy.

Cons: Fans get a little noisy around 60%, but nothing that bad. Even at 100% if your playing a game (which I imagine most will be doing..or why buy this) you don't even notice the sound, it's really not too loud, just audible. I also have two running in SLI so that probably adds to the noise. Other than that no real cons

Overall Review: If you're on a budget and want great performance as well as low temps this is the card to get. You really can't beat what performance you get for the price. Perfect card for SLI

Pros: -Extremely fast card for the price -Idles at 28°, Under load it's around 45°. Compared to my old GTX 260 (in the same case with the same airflow) which ran the same games at 55° idle and ~78° under load. -Overclocks like a boss. Streched the core clock to 950 mHz with no problems, I imagine it will get up to 1000. -Runs almost all games at ultra/max settings (albeit BF3, GTA IV) -First time I've ever been able to put on maximum Anti-Aliasing AND Anisotropic Filters without melting my card. -Looks Nice. Helps me pick up women. Watches TV with me. -Comes with Installation manual that doubles as a good looking coaster.

Cons: -I wish the VRAM were higher. It has the computing power to tackle almost any game, but the memory is the main thing holding this card back (this is the only reason that GTAIV won't run on max settings). -Fans do not double as a Slap Chop™.

Overall Review: I use EVGA precision to automatically balance my card temperature with fan speed. It has never exceeded 55% fan speed. It's not silent, but it's MUCH quieter than my children, and my old card that had just one fan.

Pros: Everything I've thrown at it performs great. At full load, it doesn't go above 50c (not overclocked). Connected to a 25 inch monitor and a Panasonic 48 inch plasma.

Cons: I really don't like how the case looks but it really doesn't matter.

Overall Review: Portal 2, Starcraft 2, Civilization 5, Duke Nukem: Forever all run at 1920x1080 at 60fps (maxed out). FFXI runs at 30fps (game can't go above 30fps) with full registry hack and all features turned on. FFXIV runs at 50-60fps with everything on high (no chopping or horrible lag). Use the drivers from the CD and then use the auto upgrade feature. Full size card, make sure you got the room.

Pros: I upgraded my graphics card about a month ago from a 9600 GT. It couldn't handle max settings and I had to have my case open with a table fan blowing into it so it wouldn't overheat. The first day I installed my new GTX 560 I noticed it is very efficient and quiet. I played Star Wars The Old Republic and Age of Conan on max settings just to test it out...I saw zero issues or lag. So I left them on max settings, and they've been there ever since with no issues. For the money, this is, hands down, the best card I've ever owned.

Cons: I guess if I had to say a con, it's a little large. I had to use a zip tie to pull one of my after market power supply cables up off of it, but other than that it fits fine in the case.

Pros: This card seems to be able to handle anything I throw at it - It easily handles games at ultra-high video settings. At the highest video settings, I get 62fps with Unreal Tournament 3 at 1920x1080 resolution and 63-64fps with Duke Nukem Forever at 1600x900. Also, the card is quiet, even though it has 2 fans. Its temperature seems good - Mine runs at around 37C when idle and 57-60C when under a load. This card also has 2 DVI ports, which is nice if you want to use 2 monitors and have a high-quality picture on both. With the DVI port, you could probably also use a 3rd monitor.

Cons: The HDMI port on the card is a mini-HDMI port, so you need to use an adapter (included) to plug in an HDMI cable. The card is a bit longer than a lower-power card. You'll need to have adequate room in your PC case and no parts on your motherboard preventing this card from being installed. Also, even though the card uses up just one slot, it takes up the space of 2 slots due to the cooler. These things are normal for high-end video cards though.

Overall Review: To get a better idea of where my frame rates came from, these are the other components in my PC: CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 (3.4ghz, quad core with hyperthreading) Motherboard: ASRock P67 Extreme4 RAM: 8GB, DDR3-1600 Normally I'm hesitant to spend more than around $120 for a video card, but I decided to splurge for this card, and I'm glad I did.
