Pros: You can use up to 5 monitors with this card. 1 DVI or DisplayPort plus 4 HDMI.
Cons: For a card with 4 mini-HDMI ports one would assume that you can plug in your HDMI monitors only and boot up. That is not the case with this card. I spent half a day figuring out that you have to have a monitor hooked up to the DVI port as well or your PC won't even boot up. To top it off you can not use a HDMI to DVI adapter, it has to be a DVI cable. None of this is documented anywhere. I could have probably lived with the fact that you can not individually setup each HDMI monitor seperately because it treats them all as one display. But the included software, called WinSplit Revolution, was kind of annoying to use. Not even close to being like AMD's ATI Catalyst software.
Overall Review: For the price I paid I would say the performance of this card is average. Even if this card performed exceptional well I would not be happy with the overall usability of this card. It is just ridiculous to require a monitor be hooked up to the DVI port. Especially since the advertising on the box seems to indicate that you can hook up 4 HMDI monitors and 1 additional monitor on the DVI or DislayPort if needed. Maybe that was a bad assumption on my part. Also considering the price of this card I would have expected 4 HDMI adapters in the box and not just 2. Needless to say this card is going back to Newegg.
