Pros: Pretty quick you cant complain about the power of this card. Just playing around with it in CCC i got it to run at 990mhz, with NO artifacting, although at 1000mhz i got a small bit of artifacting. This is all in a cool case with a stock cooler.

Cons: at stock settings ... with a moderate to high load it gets above 80c .... this isint ok with me considering its not under a full load .... BUT with the fan @ 50-60% during gaming it stays around 50c i recomend not using the stock fan settings

Overall Review: i got a different card than pictures red dvi ports and a black board only required "2" 6pin plugs from the psu which it included 2 adapters DID NOT REQUIRE an 8pin connector on the model that i received Going to buy another one soon for crossfire!
