Pros: Well let me tell ya, this card is a beast. It will chew up any game you throw at it without a hitch. Every game I have played on it (Crysis, Borderlands, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 to name a few) can be set to maximum settings without any hiccups in FPS. You won't need to worry about meeting any graphics requirements for any game now or probably at least a year from now, maybe longer. Basically this card is every bit worth it if you are a hard core gamer, you will not be disappointed in its performance.
Cons: Ok now for the bad. Firstly, this card is severely underclocked in 2D settings (basically everything done on desktop), which will cause many crashes giving you the infamous "Display driver has stopped working and has recovered" message, and requiring you to manually reboot. It is very frustrating for me after having spent $700 bucks on this card, to have to search the web for a fix for this common issue because I cannot get any help from the vendor. But it blows me away to think how they could mess something so stupid up? Secondly, Diamonds support is horrible if not non-existent. I submitted a ticket with them not one, not two, but three time and each ticket was met with absolutely NO response. Luckily, I have found a fix for this issue (almost), which requires you to manually overclock the 2D settings of the card. This drastically decreased the crashes, but I still do encounter them every now and then (especially while watching videos or movies).
Overall Review: All in all this card is every bit as powerful as you would imagine. Worried about running any game on the market? No need to if you got this bad boy in your system. For me, the powerful performance this card dishes out outweigh the things wrong with it. Although I really wish AMD would look into those issues. Also, I had read many reviews on this card, and almost all of them talk about how huge this card was, a fact I will admit I kind of took for granted. My last card was a 4870x2 and I thought that was big, however when this one came in the mail, let me just say the 4870x2 doesn't look so big anymore. Let that be a testament to how big this thing is.
