Pros: Runs SCII, Crysis 2, and other games on high settings very well with my maxed out resolution of 1680x1050. I don't know how well it runs on even higher resolutions but I believe this is the extent of this card's capabilities. Very good card for the price overall. As an added bonus, this will be great during the wintertime when I need a room heater or a foot warmer.

Cons: Alas, since it is summer and I plan to do most of my gaming during the summer, I do not wish to be in a super hot room at night. When my roommates walk in, they can tell that there is a considerable temperature difference in the room and it might be from the entire rig but the graphics card seems to be the hottest part of my computer. Keep in mind that this is only when I'm playing SC2 or Crysis 2 on maxed out settings.
