Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: Fastest card on the market. Crossfire will make it even better. Very easy to install. Great drivers.
Weaknesses:Expensive. Takes up two PCI slots. Power hungry.
Overall Evaluation: Very nice card, fastest thing you can buy (though this might be changing with the new cards coming to the market right now). I can only imagine how great it would be in Crossfire. Takes up a lot of space on your mobo, so be prepared to lose the PCI slot directly below it. If you install another card in Crossfire configuration, you'll lose another 2 PCI slots (4 taken up by the two cards). Unfortunately, one of the slots you lose is the PCIE 1x slot. Make sure your power supply can handle a video card like this.

Strengths: Fully supports directX 9 featuresCrossfire multi-gpu capable
Weaknesses:No games/bonus software included
Overall Evaluation: I have been totally satisfied with the x1900xtx. I play games such as Half-life 2, Battlefield 2, and Fear. I can play them now at 1280 x 1024 resolution, 6x AA and 8x AF. The framerates and detail even in Fear blow the console machines away. I am even protected in the future since I can add a x1900 crossfire card to increase framerates and quality even more. Highly recommended card!

Strengths: it's fast and a good picture
Weaknesses:it has a problem with sims 2 glamour life stuff
Overall Evaluation: when i first got it the salesman said it would blow the game away it was so good and now that i use it something is wrong. Ever since i got it when i go to play the game it minimizes every 5 seconds or so and has a graphics error that says it keeps changing my graphics settings. and we tried to fix it by installing direct x 9.0c and that gave us a new error that says we don't have direct x 9.0c everytime i start it up. i looked threw somethings and the help on Sims 2 says it's not available. I'm having alot of trouble and would really appreciate some help here thanks

Strengths: super fast video card, great for all gaming needs
Weaknesses:loud fan at startup, no other weakness
Overall Evaluation: Fastest single GPU video card on the market, great for all the latest games. I love this video card, it is the fastest card on the planet. Though, the $$ spent could buy a whole new computer from DELL which is what I am replacing.

Strengths: Fast fast fast.
Weaknesses:Expensive. Hot and power hungry.
Overall Evaluation: Until recently, this was ATI's top of the line, and you can see why when you run games on this thing. Amazing FPS, and runs basically anything you throw at it.But it comes at a monetary and PC-temperature cost. It's $$$$ and it'll cost you $$$$ in electricity too.
