Happy to have it!

Pros: More graphics options. Improved flightsim graphics. You've got to see the benefit of using DSR to appreciate it. Renders at 4K and scales the frames down to your selected/native monitor resolution with no noticeable cost in performance. Consumes less power than my previous card, a GTX 590. Case and graphics card temperatures are lower. Makes even older simulators look better.
Cons: It is a fairly new product, so it is a bit pricey.
Overall Review: Perhaps the best graphics performance purchase I've made in years. I'm still learning how to take advantage of this card's capabilities but am already quite pleased.
Coolermaster Customer Service Warning

Pros: The best case I've ever had.
Cons: Customer service is non-existant. I'm not angry, just disappointed. This has tarnished what was an otherwise great purchase at NewEgg. The case box arrived in pretty good shape, no signs of other than normal rubs. I have a damaged left panel and squeaky 140mm fan. The panel damage obviously happened prior to painting and shipping. My first contact requesting warranty service was an e-mail on 9 Jan 09. After that I had live chats dated Jan 14, Jan 23, and one other date I didn't record. In each chat I was told the fan would be shipped that day or the next. I e-mailed a copy of my invoice and pictures of the panel damage. I was told the panel would be shipped as soon as it became available. Nothing else has happened in all this time. I gave up and ordered the items at my expense yesterday. This is just a cautionary note..... let the buyer beware. In all my years of putting PC's together, this is the saddest experience I've had.
Two os same items shipped seperatley

Pros: perfect cables
Cons: none
Overall Review: I ordered 2 like items but each was shipped separately. Thought I'd been shorted when only one arrived. First item arrived Apr 19 and second on 22nd. I would change my rating to 5 stars! Thanks! I would up my stars to 5.
Amazing bang for the buck

Pros: Crisp, beautiful colors. Comprehensive on screen menu. Self installs with Windows 7 Pro 64bit OS. No dead pixels. Wow, does this ever bring my flight sims to life! Fantastic price.
Cons: Pedestal is a bit shakey
Overall Review: Do yourself a favor and review the DVD based manual before plugging the new monitor in. I didn't and virtually fried my eyes before figuring out how to use the menu. As with most LCD's, settings were way too high for comfort out-of-the-box. Another great find at Newegg!
Better sim flying now

Pros: More possible function/button/hat/ministick assignments than I have been able to use so far. Forces are easily adjusted and can be very realistic depending on your preferences. I'm really enjoying differential braking now and the throttles have just the right amount of resistance.
Cons: I'm left handed and this is clearly built for righties. Still, every stick out there at this time seems to be for righties. The stick handle is a too long for my hand but a bit of dense foam above the rest resolved that. Pedals and throttles are connected to the stick instead of directly to the PC. If the stick has problems the whole HOTAS is out of action while you wait on repairs.
Overall Review: A left handed version would easily get a 5 egg rating. Competitive price compared to other HOTAS rigs and possibly cheaper than buying separate stick/pedal/throttle components. I would have bought this from Newegg but it was out of stock when my old stick died. I always try dealing first with Newegg and have never been let down by them.
Great Performance

Pros: More than doubled FPS in Cliffs of Dover, a very demanding flight sim! Replaced 2 BFG GTX280 and was it ever worth it. Temps run significantly lower with the GTX590.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I have never seen such a perormance jump upon upgrading graphics, and I've upgraded many times since building my first PC in 1997.
Disappointed
Ordered 2 parts but only 1 was shipped. Fortunately, Newegg promptly credited my credit card for the missing part.
