very nice card, very impressive for the price as well
recently been playing far cry 2 with everything on high, no issues what so ever, handles the game perfectly, doesnt chugg, all the textures look great far cry 2 being one of the most card grueling games out atm and i guess my 4 gig of ram helps too, and the duel core cpu
a note, the card runs at about 75 to 80 degrees celcius constantly which is what its been designed to run at so when you install the ati catalyst control centre dont get alarmed when you see the temp lol
very overclockable, but only if you have a fantastic cooling system onboard, otherwise the card life will be affected with the constant high temp and performance (i don't overclock it, doesnt really need it), also make sure you take out the panel below the panel you're installing your card in which is where the cards exhaust chute thingy is as you can see in the pic of it

definatly a bulky card, if i want to install another HDD in my comp, i have to remove the card first lol, probably just a case choice error on my part, but still all fitted well, just make sure there's room

anyway, i recommend it, enjoy if you choose it
