Looks cool

Summary
Great card for the price, $200 + tax and gift card, great deal. Had to replace the thermal paste to get good temps. I let the card idle with 54% fan speed dual monitors between 52-56c with single monitor about 45c.. Load temps overclocked 72% fan speed 1.1v 865 core 2200 memory in BF3 temps are 74c give or take couple C. With ac on temps drop 5c +..
Great card for the money..

Pros
got it for 200$ instead of the regular price ( 333$ at this time ) so it's a steal.
you can't hear the fan until you're making it run to 60% and is 50C idle
it's a gtx 480
|
Cons
none yet. ( i don't consider the fact it takes 2 slots since anyone with common sense would notice it after looking at the pictures.
|
Summary
run good and you can't hear it until you change the fan speed to 60%. i don't consider user reviews to give more details because you can look up benchmarks to know what's the performance this card gives.

Pros
Excellent price/performance
|
Cons
Runs hot with stock cooler
|
Summary
I purchased this card as part of a life extension project for a 3 year old system. I wanted a card that would let me enjoy modern games like Skyrim at 1920x1080 resolution without spending a lot of money. This card, purchased on sale for $209 plus $3.99 shipping, fit the bill. I already had a well ventilated chassis (Antec 902) and a suitable power supply (Corsair 550w) and I'm prepared to purchase an aftermarket cooler but haven't yet found the noise level objectionable.
The value proposition for this card will change once Nvidia releases the gtx660 - that should push the gtx570 down close to the $200 price point - leaving very little room for the gtx480. My recommendation: this card should be compared to the gtx570 and 660 (when it ships). It's a good deal if and only if the price is substantially discounted from the others. The newer cards are faster and cooler but, at the right price, this is an excellent choice.

Pros
Best performance for the money!
|
Cons
Noisy card.
Very big card. Make sure you have room in your case.
|
Summary
For the money, this is literally the best bang for your bucks. Make sure you have a minimum of a 550w power supply and lots of room in your case because this is a long card. The fan is on the noisy side for my liquid cooled machine that is normally extremely quiet. I immediately noticed the noise, but it may not be as apparent for you.
With all that said, you can beat the power for the price.

Pros
- EVGA reliability
- Powerful GPU, great value for the current price of $199.
- Can run almost anything, anyway you want.
|
Cons
- hella HOT.
|
Summary
Overall, great GPU. I'm sure you could do amazing things with one or two in SLI, but you would have to mind the temperatures w/ stock cooling.
If this was a two months ago, I would be recommending this to everyone (over the Radeon 7xxx and even GTX 5XX series), but now that the GTX 6XX series from NVIDIA has released with some reaaalllyy amazing technology... This becomes, decent.

Pros
Looks good, performs great, EVGA precision tweaking tool works well.
|
Cons
Loudest card I've ever had with fans going at 60% or higher.
|
Summary
38-42 degrees idle. Around 80 degrees on full load. I play BF3 on Medium Settings and cap my frames at 50 FPS using EVGA precision. This keeps the card around 60 degrees and fan at 65%ish. Can run BF3 on ULTRA at 50 FPS but card runs hot at 80 degrees and fan at 90%ish.
This card is awesome. I would buy again in a heart beat. Just wish it was a little quieter and consumed a little less power.

Pros
Powerful card
|
Cons
Huge power consumption
|
Summary
Good video card for gaming. Noise is much lower than I expected. Temperature is approximate 40 °C when it's idle. Maximum temp goes 81 °C during gaming. Alternate video card cooling is preferable if high temperature is not tolerable.
