Awesome
Pros: This card is amazing, runs every game flawless: Cod4, oblivion, source games. Was skeptical about the heatsink at the beginning, but my worries were laid to rest when i fired this puppy up. Load temps are between 59-65c, and its not very audible.
Cons: strange smell
Overall Review: Its not loud as some people stated. Its audible but nothing compared to the blow dryer reference cooler. Those of you who have doubts about this, trust me, this is a great card.
Good while it worked
Pros: Runs all current games flawlessly with 60+ fps with the exception of Cryisis.
Cons: Well I got a defective one from the very first batch. Red artifacts all over the screen. I had to underclock the memory to get it to funtion properly.
Overall Review: Its not an overheating issue as some may suggest. I even out on a zalman vf900 and my load temps were in the mid 50's yet it still would artifact. Still is a great card an I was just probably unlucky.I Hope my rma replacement doesnt give me the same artifacting results as my previous one.
Great card
Pros: Runs games great, cod4, bioshock, wic, all run great
Cons: Ummm, none
Overall Review: Chaos this card hasnt been out 14 months.
seems like a great deal
Pros: just an underclocked xt
Cons: none
Overall Review: shrapples you lie. This card was just released therefore making you a biased nvidia fan boy. Let people make their own decisions with up to date information instead of commenting on a product you clearly know nothing about.
Ruby?
Pros: FAST
Cons: STOCK COOLER
Overall Review: Just curious to thosewho have recently purchased this. My card has the sapphire girl on the outside but it seems that ruby is labeled now. Is that what you guys receive now?

Pros: awesome frame rates in directx 9. Oblivion,Hl2,COD2 all run supreb!
Cons: fan is a little loud, needs adjusitng in Ati tool.
Overall Review: How come the Sapphire alien girl isnt on the outiside of the Card in the new egg pics? Shes kinda cute
