Pros: This card provides excellent bang for the buck. I am running it on a P4 3.0 with 1 GB RAM and all of the games and movies I have played thus far have looked excellent. Even a graphically taxing game like Far Cry is very playable at Very High settings (1440x900 res.), though I had to turn the graphics down a little to get butter-smooth frame rates. As for the running temp., mine idles at 36C and has never gone above 47C under a load. Some of that is probably due to the great airflow I get from my In Win case, which I love.
Cons: One quirk, when I set the shading level to High or Very High on Far Cry, sometimes there is discoloration on certain areas of terrain where action is taking place. It could be a driver issue, a game issue, or just a type of shading that this card doesn't support. I don't know and I don't really care, the game still looks great with shading set to Medium and everything else on High. Plus, HL2 has no such quirks, even with everything maxed out.
Overall Review: I originally ordered this card on the strength of its reviews, the brand name, and the fact that I thought it had similar specs to a 7300 GT. After ordering it, I realized that the specs were not as similar to the GT as I thought, so I considered sending it back for a different card. I'm really glad I didn't. For a casual gamer like me, this card rocks. Hardcore gamers may want to look at a higher model if they want ultra-high settings at ultra-high framerates all the time. Regardless, I am very happy and highly recommend BFG Tech cards.
