Pros: It is a good card and is very fast. Small size is perfect for those that want performance but have a smaller case
Cons: The fan is not as pictured, it is the fan that comes with the 512MB GDDR3 card. Although not excessively loud, it definitely is not as quiet as the Zalman fan shown. In a full gamer rig this will not be a problem but it is not suitable for a "bedroom" PC or HTPC.
Overall Review: The power connector seemed very sensitive to any contact/movement. Be careful rooting around in the case or moving the case, as a gentle nudge or jiggle will knock power out to the card momentarily. This may have been a problem, albeit not a big one, with my card only as no one else has reported this. The PSU 6 pin was snug. Had to RMA, unfortunately, and take the $30 hit. In a gaming rig with powerful case-cooling, this card will not be heard.
