Pros: Exceptional performance in games, low power requirements (since these cards do not have an external PCI-E power connector, they draws current entirely from the PCI-E slots, which are limited to a maximum of 75 Watts each).
Cons: Heat! (Reliability? In a strange twist of fate, just before I was about to write a positive review, the memory on the newer card has gone bad, and I am forced to RMA it to the manufacturer after 2 months of moderate use. However, my comments on the performance and features of the card still stand.)
Overall Review: I originally purchased one of these, then shortly decided to buy another to use in a Crossfire setup. Setup was simply: install the cards, add the bridges, install the drivers, and it works! High scores in 3DMark06 (6500-ish), and excellent 3D game performance, too. In Crossfire mode, there were two problems: in Scissor mode, the split was visible as a 1-pixel horizontal line. In AFR mode, the frames had slightly different black levels, causing a noticeable flickering. I eventually discovered that the older card had an unusual BIOS version: 1XX-XXXXX-XXX. I updated the card to match the newer one, 11X-1E1401SA-002, and the problems disappeared! The first card also came with a loose heatsink. I removed it, removed the overly-generous portion of factory thermal paste, used some AS 5 and reattached the heatsink. It was better, the average temps decreased by 5-7°C, but the heatsink still loose. The newer card did not have this problem. Both ran about 60°C idle (at default fan speeds)
