Pros: Price, performance, outstanding. Absolutely the best card I ever owned. IQ is off the hook and the card takes everything I can throw at and says give me more. Well done ATI, nice to see your back in style. I also upgraded from a G92 8800GTS 512MB and it was totally worth it in my opinion. Can wait to see what ATI has in store for us next. For the record, no ATI fanboy here either. My Graphics card ladder includes 11 ATI Cards and 14 Nvidia cards.
Cons: None
Overall Review: The card is hot at idle, but heat doesn't effect the cards performance at all because under-load the temps hardly climb at all from it's idle temp. Didn't put this under cons because it really doesn't effect anything and I don't consider it one. Fan-Speeds will be bumped up in the drivers at next release according to what I've read, and second party OC utilities for fan-speed adjustment should also become 4800 Series friendly within the next month or so. Interesting note regarding the bundle, HIS includes a screw driver with it's card which incudes repalceable bits. I thought this was pretty silly when I read it. However after receiving the card I ws pleased to find out that the screw driver was also a flash light and a level. Pretty cool extra actually.
