Strengths: Good upgrade over my 8800gts (G80 core)Quiet cooler, great CUDA performance
Weaknesses:Long, dual PCIe power requiredMSRP needs to drop to get its price/performance in line with ATI's current offerings.
Overall Evaluation: With the price drops due to ATI's 4850 offering, the price on this card made it impossible to resist buying. This card is about 25% faster than my 8800gts for gaming, so considering I sold the 8800GTS for about what I paid for this after rebate, it was essentially a free upgrade.The card is very long, so I had to pull a removable drive bay in my Antec P180 case to fit it in - minor con. I use this for gaming and folding@home, and the GPU2 client for F@H produces about 5500ppd on this card, versus 3500 on the 8800gts. So very nice improvement there.
