Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was using a Nvidia GTX 580 and swapped it out for a couple of these in crossfire.
I got these when I found out about the flash trick to unlock the shaders. A google search should get you the info you need to easily do this. I would also suggest checking forums to see the current state of doing this in case AMD revises cards to eliminate this trick before buying.
I game on a 30" running at 2560x1600 and these cards just let me play through Dead Space 2 maxed smooth as butter. I also recently played through Fear and Fear 2 maxed without a problem. Overall I am very happy with the performance in crossfire and the 2GB of memory helps especially at higher resolutions.
I do have a couple of complaints though. The shrouds on these cards do not allow the top card to get enough air on a lot of motherboards. Since they are boxy with no curves there is only a small gap between the cards. This causes the top card to be much warmer than the other card. If the shroud had a slant like Nvidia cards it wouldn't be as much of a problem. My other complaint is that there are many driver problems around if you check the forums. Nvidia has its problems too but lately AMD's driver team seems to be out to lunch or something.
Overall I would recommend this card due to the value and performance presented but do some research be aware of the current state of things before purchasing.
