Pros: Fanless design on a card a bit shorter than I had antisipated (shorter than my 8800GTX). My side fan is keeping it (just one) at 60C at 90+ load running Folding@home. Cons: I have two cards purchased at Newegg but neither one came with the Crossfire bridge so I'm waiting on Gigabyte support. Very disappointed. from Newegg.com Silent and surprisingly good cooling performance for passive cooling. I managed the temp below 70c-75c all the time while fully running 3D. Cons: I don't know why Gigabyte added VGA port? from Newegg.com Pros: card installed easily, no real issues upscaling of content is great. i had to download drivers because driver disk would not load on win 7 rc. but was no issue they were on gigabyte site. Cons: only scored 6.0 on win experience Other Thoughts: for a htpc card i would reccommend this to anyone. from Newegg.com Pros: Silently cooled. It's a 4850, 1gb of memory. No problems with it for the 6 months or so that I've had it. from Newegg.com Pros: Passive cooling if your case has A LOT of air flow. Performs well on 1920x1200. Drives dual monitors. from Newegg.com Pros: Quiet silent. HDMI output(with HDMI sound)Overclocks great. Running 35'c idle 55'c Full load with 120mm side fan blowing on it. from Newegg.com Pros: SILENT. Fanless heatsink does admirable job of dissipating heat. Runs games at stock 4850 speed without issue. Bargain at current prices. from Newegg.com Pros: Please realize that this review is not about the card itself, but about the problems faced while creating a system utilizing the card. I was looking for a silent solution while building a HTPC system utilizing the following components:SILVERSTONE LC13B-E ATX Media Center Case CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX Power SupplyIntel Core2 Q9550 Intel DP45SG 775 ATX MotherboardCORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM2 WD 320 GB hard drivesThe HTPC is connected to a Samsung 46" HDTV. I elected to only purchase one card to test compatibility with Windows 7 RC. from Newegg.com I asked a question to their marketing team about their packaging and they was nice enough to send me a picture of how the contents should look like before I even opened the boxes. If you have ever messed up during the upgrade of the BIOS, then you would understand the value of the motherboard. Pound for pound Gigabyte is selling some pretty good stuff! Cons: So I received the product in a bundle shipment and noticed right away that the product was not sealed. from Newegg.com Pros: the concept is nice. Cons: simply did not work. The first card had 75 degree idle temps, 108 load, and then my system would freeze. After the RMA, got a second card. from Newegg.com
