When I got the card, the HDMI connectors were missing. Instead a note saying that I would be able to request that they be shipped if I registered within 30 days. from Amazon.com Pros: Great performance ,is not that loud unless you crank up the fan to a 100%. I useally keep my at 60% and the noise is fine and it keeps it cool plus my case has a 230mm fan blowing on them. from Newegg.com Pros: This is a nice and powerful GPU. 1 gb of RAM and no arguments here. Dual DVI and HDMI capable so this thing is ready to go, just gotta go out and use it. from Newegg.com Pros: Super Fast upgraded from 8800 GTS. Playing left for dead 1680X1050 maxed out looks great . Great card for the money Cons: Huge barely fit in my case. from Newegg.com Pros: What can you say 1GB RAM. Running games wide open with no issues. from Newegg.com Pros: Best card i have had so far. I get about 40-50FPS high end in Crysis at 1440x900 all maxed out settings. Everythign else screams Cons: haven't found any Other Thoughts: VERY Large card. from Newegg.com Pros: This card performs ~400% faster than my old setup of dual SLI XFX nVidia GeForce 8600 GT's. I'm simply blown away, I cranked up even the antialiasing and antisotropic filtering and it just doesn't slow down at all. from Newegg.com Pros: Great card for the money. Enjoying them (x3) so far. Able to play any game out there, except the one I really want play. from Newegg.com Runs pretty hot. Recommended water-cooling from manufacturer. Other Thoughts: Bought 2x of the these and 2x power supplies (730W@30A) and couldn't get any video due to lack of power. I found I didnt have enough amps so I went to local computer store to pick up 2x Ultras 750W@42A. from Newegg.com WARNING THIS WILL NOT FIT IF... 1. TOO MANY CABLES from Amazon.com
