Pros: Price was good, the extra year warranty made it worth taking the risk, still performs great for DX10 games (most of what I play)
Cons: Tested the card when I got it (to make sure it wasn't DOA), then put it aside for a future build. Well that build day has arrived, and all the card does is lock up. Can alt+tab out of BF3 (usually) but MW3 = hard reboot every time it locks up. This is with the fan at 75% (plenty even for this card). PSU isn't the issue either, as I'm using an Antec 850wt Quattro on a stock clocked system.
Overall Review: When I bought this, it included the extra year warranty. Now when I go to RMA, it says it isn't eligible... I never did receive any details on how to process an RMA with this card, so I'm guessing it's through VisionTek. We'll see what happens.
