Pros: I've been waiting for a quality company to start putting these out, I narrowed it down between Gig and Asus. Went with Asus because of the free mouse pad, lame I know. Overall the price/performance is spectacular, awaing the new drivers. Nvidia dropped their prices, still went with ATI due to X-fire and still better price/performance and less power hungary than it's "green" apponent

Cons: catalyst drivers need to come out yesterday.

Pros: First of all newegg rocks, I had a minor shipping problem come up and they refunded half of the shipping costs. On to the T.V. Beautiful picture and comparible to the name brands. More believable blacks than the Olivia, Westinghouse, and Vizio tv's I looked at. Easy set up. Lots of connections, internal tuner. Pics up to 1080i, native 720p. Keep in mind no one even broadcasts 1080P at the moment, so buy this as your secondary T.V. in the long term.

Cons: 1 HDMI input, but keep in mind you can get an HDMI switcher for $60 before you buy a more expensive t.v. just because HDMI outputs. The remote range is pretty terrible, but it is in my bedroom. Batteries were DOA.

Overall Review: Had 10-11 pixels stuck on green out of the box, I simply rubbed a Q-tip over them while the T.V. was on and they unstuck, really simple and took less than 2 minutes. HIGHLY recomended, I did about 60 hours of research.

Comments: Got this card in 3 days, has slower ram than the normal pro versions, however overclocking this card is really easy even with the standard fan if u have at least 2 fas in your case. I have each set or ram running completely stable at 245 which totals 490 and the main chip runs stable at a whopping 486. for the price this card cant be beat, and its power demands are minimal. I would buy it again.
