Pros: Fastest single gpu on the market today. It beats everything in it's class, by that i mean single gpu cards. The only way anyone has a more powerful setup is if they have an sli setup or a gtx590 or hd6990. This will be true until a few weeks or months from now when the hd7xxx/gtx6xx series comes out (there is a small possibility that next gen cards will be plagued with bugs fingers crossed!). Runs quiet if you know what you're doing and you have good airflow. The physical qualities of this card are all perfect, it looks great, the light up matrix logo is very classy and anyone who knows anything who looks into your case will freak out when they see this triple wide 11.5in monster.

Cons: It's huge, pictures don't do it justice. Needs alot of air flow and not just a good case. I have a silverstone rvo1 (raven 1) and had to remove my sound card to let the fans breathe. It has the potential of running way too hot if you don't utilize all the tools given i.e. gpu tweak, 2d mode, fan speed. Takes two 8 pin connectors.

Overall Review: There are cards with faster stock speeds but this card overclocks the best with stock cooler. Most Motherboards that came out more than a year ago probably can not run this card in sli just because of the way the pci ports were spaced, however several motherboard manufactures Asus especially has began making their motherboards with pci slots 3 slots apart with their own triple wide cards in mind. The card can be insanely loud with the fans at 100%, however the only time you should ever hear that is when benchmarking so I won't list it as a con. Usually with my custom fan profile the fans go between 20%-50% and the temps stay within 30-55 I only gave the card 4 eggs because as you see there are alot of cons to owning this card. On the plus side none of these cons are design or build quality related, they are all linked to how powerful this card is. And price is never a con, not because I'm loaded or something but because its our choice as consumers to buy a product or not.
