Cons: Very long. Will not fit all midtowers.

Pros: Powerful beyond measureSilent and coolVoltage Tweak with Smart Doctor allows fantastic overclocksCrossFireX works flawlessly with Beta drivers
Comment:
I currently run a CrossFireX setup of these monsters. I expected the usual struggle with new hardware, but no struggle came. Installation was easy and painless, and CrossfireX works with no sweat with beta drivers in every game I tried.Performance? Well, my i7 at 4GHz is bottlenecking these 2 cards, I think. So, in retrospect, 2 might have been overkill. However, whoever is an hardware enthusiast knows that overkill doesn't exist. A CrossfireX setup of these cards not only runs pretty much everything maxed out (including Crysis with very playable framerates and no slowdowns even in vast outdoors areas), but is also futureproof with DX11.The fact ATI managed to release such excellent cards, so fast, with drivers that do not seem to have many flaws and bugs and deliver great performance and CrossFireX scalability over 1 card is absolutely stunning. For the very vast majority of people, one of these cards will suffice. But if you are ready to go big, do so with no fear: these babies run in CrossfireX with absolutely no problem.As for these ASUS cards, the voltage tweak and the very good cooler allows insane overclocks. Pushing voltage to 1.2VCore, 1GHz core is possible, stable on 3DMark Vantage, and doesn't break 80C. This is phenomenal. Non overclocked, the performance is still absolutely great, and even on a board where the 2 cards are close together, the top one stays quite cool, and, more importantly, quite silent.A stunning product in every way possible from ATI and ASUS, who managed to break my nVidia addiction.

Cons: Barely fits in my NZXT Zero case, does not support PhysX, will have to wait for DX11 games to support parallel computing instead. FPS drops from 55-60 (GTX 260) to 40-45 in batman (physx disabled). No DX11 games to try yet. Most Blu-Ray softwares doesnt support LPCM/TrueHD/DTS Master output on this card yet.

Pros: Very well designed. 4 phases GPU/2 phases memory all digital power design. Very fast,shipping drivers are very good. At last 7.1 Gaming/LPCM/TrueHD/DTS Master HDMI output.
Comment:
I am truly amazed by the build quality, performance, and image quality output of this card. Blu-rays plays a lot smoother and sharper than on my old GTX 260. I can play crysis p 35-40 FPS on Very High with 8x AA.As for PhysX, let's hope developpers will adopt the one that will come standard on DX11 instead of making it an nvidia feature only.Unlike other manufacturers, Asus decided to keep the original design, only adding a small 'ASUS' logo on the bottom left hand of the card. I think it's the best looking one and that's why i choosed it over other manufacturers.
