Pros: I needed a graphics card for a Photoshop CS5 workstation build. It needed to drive a high-end wide gamut photo editing monitor, and had to be Adobe certified so that Photoshop would recognize it for GPU co-processing. Since most graphics card reviews are aimed at gamers, it was not easy to figure out what kind of card to chose. In the end, it turns out that for photo editing there is no advantage in choosing a pro workstation card over a consumer card (not true for 3-D modelling or video editing though). For my purposes, I got more performance for less money by choosing this card. Features that were important to me: NVIDIA chipset (favoured by Adobe), more than sufficient OpenGL and memory specs, reference design with airflow out the back, two DVI ports (for adding a future 2nd monitor), and GeForce 400 series was the highest currently certified by Adobe. Installed easily, was recognized by Photoshop, works great, runs cool, and is fairly quiet. So far I am happy with my choice.
Cons: None that I can think of.
