Pros: This is probably the best card out there for its $180 price tag. It runs Half-Life 2 on max, even with 6xAA and 16xAF plus V-Sync. Runs Gears of War on high setting, the Unreal Tournament 3 demo on max (even though thats not saying much), and F.E.A.R. on max settings. This card is a huge improvement over my old Radeon X700 Pro.
Cons: This huge improvement comes at a huge size. This thing a about twice as long as my X700. Its also pretty fat too. I had to remove my TV Tuner from the PCI slot next to it in oder to make it fit in my case. This probably won't be a problem for people with newer Motherboards, but I have an old HP stock computer I bought at Best Buy two years ago.
Overall Review: I haven't been able to run Crysis yet, but I'm sure it will run it on high at a decently reasonable resolution (1024*768). Also, when I installed this card that supports audio through its HDMI port, it forced audio through the card and no longer saw my integrated Realtek audio chip. It was an easy fix, I just had to boot the BIOS screen and enable force onboard audio.
