Strengths: very fast card! got a 15fps boost from an overclocked 8800GTX when playing crysis at 12x10 very high settings (no aa or af). Faster in certain scenarios when compared to GTX 280 but at a lower price.

Weaknesses: Its basically two cards crammed into one; has issues that plague all SLI configs i.e. micro stuttering, games need SLI profiles to have performance differences. uses lots of juice even when not gaming

Summary: be careful when buying this beast of a card. some motherboard's northbridge heatsink won't allow it to be fully seated into the pci-e x16 slot. a lot louder than my old 8800GTX when fan's running at 100%

Strengths: Very easily overclocked

Weaknesses: Pricy

Summary: Yes, this card is pretty expensive, but it may very well be worth the money. The card is easily overclocked, and the performance increase due to the overclocking is substantial. This card is much faster than the 8800 ultra. This card is definitely one of the fastest, if not the fastest, cards on the market right now.
