Love it with Premiere CS5!

Pros: I work with HD video in Premiere CS5 and this card cut my time in half when I export my videos. To give you an idea I compared 3 cards exporting the same piece of video which had a few effects applied. The times were the following: Quadro FX 1800 -> 6 min GTX 480 -> 3min 25sec GTX 580 -> 1min 45sec Scrolling the timeline in Premiere is very smooth at full resolution, I work with AVCHD format. While exporting, the card was pretty quiet. My system has the i7 920 processor overclocked to 3.8 with 12GB RAM I don't do gaming so I have nothing to report on that note :)

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: I wonder why the GTX series performs better than some Quadros (in same price range) if the Quadros are supposed to be the cards to do this type of stuff super fast. I mean it's HUGE when the FX 1800 takes 6min and GTX 580 1min 45sec to export same video. I love my card :)

WORKS GREAT AND IT PLAYS ISO FILES.

Pros: It's working great for me, I'll answer a few questions many people wanted to know and are always asking in forums ( I was one of them) DOES IT PLAY ISO FILES? It plays ISO files, most of my movies are ISO and they all play great. It doesn't have problems playing other formats as well. WHAT ABOUT THUMBNAILS FOR MOVIES? I'm using 332x500 (jpeg images) and it looks perfect. Make sure you name your movie and jpg image the same. WHAT ABOUT DUPLICATE THUMBNAILS? I was having this problem and I fixed it by deleting the folder ".wd_tv" from the hard drive. Just connect the hard drive to you computer and it will be there. I do this every time I connect the hard drive to my computer to transfer new movies. Once the hard drive is connected back to WD TV LIVE the folder will be created again with the new information and without duplicating thumbnails. Overall, I'm happy with it, it's very convenient to have my entire library available with the touch of a button. :)

Cons: Small remote control

LOVE IT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

Pros: i7 920 OC to 3.8MHZ idle is 27C, it's quiet so far... my computer turns up the fan' speeds as needed. I have the ASUS P6T Deluxe v2 and no problems installing it, just don't rush it, I heard people getting cut but I don't see how that can happen if you handle it slowly being careful not to bend the cooper plates, etc. Easy to install overall. So far at max temps I've seen the CPU get to 58C - 61C which I think is pretty good, right? :)

Cons: None so far...
