Pros: Awesome Cards! Plenty Fast for all my gaming needs @26x16 res (most settings max). Placed my orders on the day they were available 1/8 and received them 1/10. Runs flawless with the new drivers on ati's site. I'm not the type of guy who pays soo much attention to the FPS as long as they are smooth and these 7970's do deliver that!
Cons: None
Overall Review: I've been with the green team since the 8800GTX days but switched due to how much praise reviewers gave the 7970s. Taken my experience with the almighty 9700Pro back then, I might as well take a stab at it and try out how ATi has been doing in their driver department. I will say, ATi has definitely improved a lot and I don't have no complaints. Eyefinity is there for me if I ever choose to go that route later but for now my U3011 is all I need.
