Pros: Very fast, very quiet, excellent bang for the buck, includes every cable & adapter you could need. Runs silently at 60C during Company of Heroes w/ everything maxed out & AA turned on.
Cons: Friggin huge. About 2" longer than any video card I've ever used. Rear of card & power connector are hitting connectors on back of hard drives in an Antec SOHO case (huge case). Fits, but it was tight.
Overall Review: I couldn't believe how quiet this thing is - esp compared to the X850XT hair dryer. Goodbye ATITool fan speed control forever :) This card is for a new system build, but since it got here early, swapped it out with X850XT on a i945 chipset w/ a 3.2GHz PentiumD. With everything at stock settings, the ATi card scored 6301 in 3DMark05 & 2232 in 3DMark06. Simply switching cards & installing driver yielded 8312 in 3DMark05 & 5548 in 3DMark06. No overclock on anything. 2000+ increase in 3DMark05 & 3300+ increase in 3DMark06 for way under 3 bills.
