Pros: The card performs well enough if you just use your computer for idling on your desktop. The card yields about 75fps standing still playing WoW with max visual settings.
Cons: The card overheats if you do anything but idle. Playing WoW for roughly 15 minutes the card will meet/exceed 89 degrees C and cause the system to reboot. Swapped the vid card with an 8800, issue resolved, problem follows original card. So if you like overheating due to poor heatsink design, this card is for you
Overall Review: I could've purchased an alternate VGA cooler but after thinking about it, when purchasing a product, it should be ready to use/reliable as is with no modifications necessary.
