Cons: It's kind of loud, especially during startup.
Overall Review: I bought this to replace two 4850s in crossfire, and this did the trick. To be fair, there was nothing wrong with the performance of the Radeons. In fact, they were excellent in Windows. Unfortunately, ATI's linux drivers just plain don't work right. I like KDE, I like the desktop effects, and I want to be able to watch a DVD, something a ten year old PC can do!) without glitches or crashing the system. This card gives me the best of both worlds, Windows and Linux, for which I am very glad!
