Pros: So far, very happy with this card. Upgraded from an EVGA 8800 GTX, so I'll be comparing to that card directly. Smaller footprint, much lighter and stays much, much cooler. If the precision software tool is to be believed, this card really does idle in the high 20s/low 30s. It seems quiet, although my system is a bit loud anyway, so I can't be sure how quiet it really is, but in my opinion the card did not add anything relevant to the noise level overall. I was really taken aback (and very pleased) with how much smaller and lighter this card was compared to the 8800.
Cons: Tried hooking up the included mini-HDMI cable...did weird things to my monitor with the scaling and display. Finally gave up and went back to the DVI cable. The con, I guess, is that it wasn't clear if (or why) I should use the mini-HDMI cable; therefore I wasted about 20 minutes on it. But your mileage may vary as I may not have known what I was doing. Not an HD kinda guy.
Overall Review: Running World of Warcraft release 4.01 at Ultra settings at 1920x1080 on a Samsung 23" flat panel. Generally staying at 60fps, even in crowded areas (using vertical sync). Observed 35fps in Dalaran, which is no surprise. I will probably tweak a few settings one or two clicks lower to get an optimal balance of quality/performance. I definitely recommend this card if you are in need of an upgrade. Anandtech.com gives it a great review too, and the EVGA warranty is nice. As of right now, I feel that I got what I paid for, +1.
