Pros: First off, GREAT video card. It really is. Runs StarCraft2 on Extreme (only glitching slightly on mega battles) Overclocking is easy. Looks great. Made roommates jealous.

Cons: For being dang close to the very best there is to offer with this chipset, I am a bit disappointed. I played the Battlefield 3 Beta this past week, and well the card could not keep up. Granted I was on Ultra, it was running at 100%, the fan was spinning at 100%, and it was still not able to run smooth. Its also unable to handle games like Tom Clancy's End War or the Shogun game I got with it. It is a noisy little guy. When fan is at 100%, expect your PC to be turned into a server rack/ wind tunnel.

Overall Review: Massive heat fluctuation. It will idle at 40 one day, then the next its idling at 54 degrees. This is NOT a case cooling problem. Im running the Antec DF-85 case with 3 intake fans and 5 exhaust fans all on high. Will most likely be Crossfired by the end of year to compensate for the cons above. If you can get the 6950.

Pros: alright this is way better than the 460. iv been playing The witcher 2, rage, and bulletstorm with almost everything on high. Great price for the performance.

Cons: none

Pros: Running games very smoothly, already overclocked from factory. Powerful and silent. Runs even on a 450W PSU.

Cons: Although it runs on a 450W, its quite unstable when you push it to it's limit, you either have to underclock it, or by yourself a new psu, thats what Im going to do right now:P. Also, had trouble screwing it to the back of the case, holes were poorly aligned, had to take a smaller screw, but it still holds. It also runs at quite high temepratures on my rig even when idle : 45-50degrees C, which is quite high when you check at some reviews, on the other hand, under full load it goes no more than 75... Don't know yet if it's normal or if I have a cooling problem in my case.

Overall Review: Bought it at a huge rebate that ended a few days ago, even with its small shortcomings, very good investment.

Pros: Nice card, a little tight in my case , no heat problems. Crysis 2 looks fantastic.

Cons: Did not come with Shogun as advertised, tried XFX support to ask about it, got no response. Not the end of the world, but I took one egg away

Pros: For the price, you honestly can't beat it. Installed fine, no issues at all, the fan volume does not bother me, two 22inch monitors, plays Black Ops on extra settings with constant 70FPS, all while keeping itself under 70C.

Cons: Couldn't find any chocolate chip cookies in box...

Overall Review: Stable card, awesome performance, not too much cash.

Pros: This card is truly the $200 king, it has dethroned Nvidia in this price range. Plays all the games max settings without breaking a sweat. I can't expect more from a sub $200 card, a great buy. XFX has a great warranty and customer service so I chose to go with them.

Cons: Can't think of any at the moment! I guess I wish the card would be skinner, but oh well, I know that's not easy to accomplish considering the power requirements and the cooling needs of this beast!

Overall Review: Using this card with 3 displays (Eyefinity). First monitor through HDMI, 2nd using a DVI port and for 3rd using a Displayport. Since my monitors don't have a Displyport input, I bought an active DisplayPort adapter (DisplayPort to DVI) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999030 System: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) XFX HD-685X-ZNDC Radeon HD 6850 2x Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 3x ASUS VH242H Black 23.6" 5ms HDMI 1080P Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

Pros: nice card

Cons: XFX says dirt 3 "All promotion codes have run out."

Pros: * Image quality!! Games on this card blow away my old 460GTX. This card exhibits absolutely no tearing at all, all of the game play is smooth as silk. With my old card, you couldn't tell if vsync was on or not. The AA options are noticeably more effective than with the 460GTX. * Fast, it plays Deus Ex : HR at 1920x1200 at a smooth 60fps with 4xFSAA enabled. * Packaging. This is often overlooked, but the box that this came in was small and sturdy. You can definitely recycle it by storing thing in it.

Cons: * Slightly noisy. I didn't pull out a db reader, but it is about as loud as an electric razor at load.

Overall Review: I bought this card specifically because it came with DX:HR. Since I was going to buy the game anyway, it seemed like a great deal. I just typed in the code off the card into ATI's site and received an email with a Steam activation code.
