Pros: Xlt Image quality in 2D & 3D. Fast GPU. OC w ATiTool to 865/1150 with no issues or artifacts but pulled back to 850/1100 to ensure no probs in fast action gaming. Card was slightly tight fit, but did fit. I like that it is Ultra Durable with excellent and very quiet Zalman fan cooling solution.
Cons: Not GDDR4?, True it is GDDR3, but don't let that stop you from buying this card. I get scores and frame rates that are same as GDDR4 counterparts. 8800gt cards all use GDDR3 w. no adverse affects on games. GDDR4 is not truly needed for games at this point, though it would be a nice to have. The graphics core clocks/256 bit+ are far more important. This is a great card.
Overall Review: Experienced black screen betw Win splash and Welcom screen at first. Found that this is common for 3000 series using DVI. Found 3 step fix. 1st, Ensure all previous vid drivers are 100% removed. Step 2 - ATI 8.1 Catalyst or newer installed. Finally, Go to Control Panel, select Admin Tools, click on Services, find Ati Hotkey Poller, once there, change Startup type to Manual. Click OK. That fixed it for me, now card works better than any card I have ever owned.
