Pros: Its hard to pick just a few, really... Performance Reliability What else do you look for in a CPU? It's probably in there.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I've owned this CPU for 2 years and 3 months now. That is the longest I have ever had the same CPU, being an avid gamer. It is still tearing up games and running its heart out. Over the last year I've been looking at the CPUs that are out, and all the newest AMD FX's work in my current motherboard (AM3+)... And I have felt absolutely no need to go buy one. I think that may be the best measure of a CPU ever.

Pros: Upgraded from a GeForce 6800 GTS to this card. I saw a huge increase in framerate and in visual quality. Like an Nvidia cards, the drivers are a piece of cake to download and install. The fan is quiet, in a performance PC with proper active cooling already installed you won't even notice this device behind the background noise you already have.

Cons: As other reviewers have noted, the card IS a beast, so make sure you have space cleared across the full width of your motherboard in a line back from your PCIe slot. You might need to reroute cables and move hard drives to get this puppy to fit, depending on the size of your case. Other than that I can't think of a single negative thing to say about it.

Overall Review: You could do far worse than buying this card. I've already directed two friends towards it as an upgrade suggestion.
