This card has been working like a dream since the day I got it. ATI releases new drivers regularly too. I guess their OpenGL implementation isnt all that great though (think Doom3) but otherwise a great card.

Great card if you want the speed, but it's ridiculously overpriced. Consider getting a next gen x800 or 6800 gt if you want bang for your buck.

Just tested this card as it arrived for my friend today. Of course the card is great, but the pricetag is terrble when taking into consideration the performance difference between the XT and Pro. Not to mention the 256-bit Pro can be modded to XT speeds. Even without modding the speed jump is so minimal and definately does not warrant doubling the price. If you have the Pro, do NOT by this and if you're looking for a $600 card grab the X800 Pro.
