ABSOLUTE CRAP! BEWARE RUNS EXTREMELY HOT
(1 out of 5) by J. Vo on Dec 14, 2008 (California)spent over $[...] for a video card that lasted for less than 2 months! card is fast don't get me wrong, but it runs EXTREMELY EXTREMELY HOT be sure to enable manual fan control and set the fans to atleast 60% or else you'll get random BSOD's (blue screen of death) My computer wont even run stable for 30 min without it restarting on it's own and my fans are set at 100%!! also BEWARE diamond requires you to register the product within 30 days of your purchase or else the warranty is toast. If your looking for a reliable card this is NOT your card i'd pref a card such as MSI, Asus, Visiontek, HIS. STAY AWAY FROM DIAMOND

FANTASTIC MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(5 out of 5) by Christian Gloria on Dec 3, 2008I've had this unit for over 3 weeks and so far all I can say is....this card rocks hard!!!! Im already getting blistering frame rates on all my games WOW especially even crysis at 1600x1200 runs flawlessly, I havent had any lockups or problems with card I would definitely recommend.
I also installed Xpertool to adjust the fan speed since the onboard control is glitchy, otherwise I love my new video card.......its so worth the money.

horrible HoRrIbLe HORRIBLE card!
(1 out of 5) by B. Chang on Nov 13, 2009 (Tikrit, Iraq)DO NOT BUY THIS CARD! This card sucks! There's not much else anyone can say about it. It's hot, noisey, and extremely unstable. This card WILL BLUE SCREEN on you! To top it off, ATI does a great job on "customer support". They never answer your calls, (or return them for that matter) and when your computer crashes, ATI never seems to come up with a patch that will fix it's product. DO NOT WASTE $[...] on this piece of crap. Go with Nvidia. I've learned my lesson! Heed this warning!

Fastest video card on the planet.....
(5 out of 5) by J. R. Bermudez on Nov 4, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)Well, currently there is nothing faster on the planet. This card lets me game at 2560X1600 with incredible performance on a wide variety of games. Please make sure your power supply is adequate as this card is very power hungry. Also, do yourself a favor and immediately adjust the fan speed (through either Catalyst 8.10 or Rivatuner) otherwise the card will get very hot. ATI drivers are still a little buggy at this point but otherwise it's a great card.
