Strengths: Very powerful video card. Plays any game without a problem, even Crysis with high settings for all. Support HDMI audio output! Dual DVI output, can support 30'+ LCD monitor.
Weaknesses: Runs kinda hot with default fan setting. However, if you update your display driver from amd.com, the latest driver 8.10 has fan control function built-in,you can adjust the fan speed.
Summary: This is a very nice card. Play any game without a problem! Big bang for the buck! Support HDMI video/audio output is a big plus.

Strengths: Extremely powerful and capable processorHidden features like Ray-Tracing and Physics capabilities!Can play every modern game at best settings including Crysis
Weaknesses: The fan runs very slow in an attempt to be quiet. This results in high operating temperatures which can introduce issues like artifacts and may eventually lead to early card failure
Summary: I absolutely love this graphics card. The performance of this card is far above anything in its price category, and I love to see the additional features that weren't even stressed as a feature.My only complaint is that the stock cooler these come with aren't very good, but there are workarounds available, and you can always replace it with something much better.I highly recommend this graphics card if you are a casual gamer looking for the best price on a card. If you are a heavy gamer, you may want to consider the ATI Radeon 4870 which is also a great card for the price you pay. I would strongly consider getting an aftermarket cooler for these cards if you play games a lot.
