Pros: This card was an awesome card. It truely was... the GTX 580 is a monster. I will be looking to replace this card with an eVGA GTX 580. I gave 2 stars because while it worked, it was sweet.

Cons: This card lasted just over 6 months for me. Now in OCCT i get 50k errors on the GPU test for just 6 minutes. FuMark and 3DMark make all kinds of pretty polygon blocks and crazy jittery lines all over the place when the tests run. You can imagine what playing an actual game is like--constant driver crash. I have done all the reinstalls, different driver combos, testing of power supply, etc. The result is clear--this card is dead.

Overall Review: I thought Zotac could be a replacement company since BFG went bankrupt and I had luck with their miniITX boards. Now I think I'll be heading over to eVGA. Hope this helps someone.

Pros: When it works, it works well. It did not present noise into the video signal, and the device did not have any buffering issues when playing games that required constant keypress/etc.

Cons: As I said, it was great while it worked. Once it stopped working mysteriously, I could only use slot 1. I flashed it with no effect. I sent it back and they sent me a "pre-flashed" new unit that was not flashed at all, and it showed the same symptoms. After about a week it stopped working with both. I love my new paperweight--its so functional. It has a nice stand to help hold the papers down on my desk.
