I like it!

Pros: This thing is just crazy how well it preforms. It was made to beat the 4870x2 from ati, but this thing is just straight up mean. It is running the latest games on the market on their hightest settings without breaking a sweat. Got to tip my hat to Nvidia on this one. No issues with xfx's cards. Second One I've got (first being 8800gtx). I've been very happy buying products through them and dealing with their customer service.

Cons: Can't get ntune to work properly with it. This is probally user error but could be a driver issue. Still working on figuring out what's causing the problems. The card is still pretty young.

Other Thoughts: I've been benchmarking and beating on this card for the short periode i've had it. The benchmark scores i've been getting are just crazy. That's really not inportant because its how it actually preforms during games that matters. All I can say is this card is bringing gaming to a whole nother level of detail. I think it answers the question is this card worth $500 bucks very nicely.
