Pros: Great performance / price ratio. I looked over alot of $200 and less cards and felt this was the best for the money. I still feel that way.

Cons: It is big! Also mounts w/ fan and fancy cover facing down. I don't know...maybe they all do but seems a shame to not be able to see the "top" of it when in the case.

Overall Review: This is my first video card as I have always been content with the on-board graphics. But that was before I started playing games on my computer. Let me tell you - Get this card and play the free Aliens vs Predator (if it is still offered)...You will be hooked on PC gaming. BTW - I am 43, guess better late than never, right?
