Great for budget gamers.
Pros: Very quiet, efficient, Crossfire-capable and low cost.
Cons: Poor Eyefinity capablities.
I had bought this when I did the first rendition of my Enyo build because it was marketed as a cheap Eyefinity card with lots of gaming potential. I loved that the price was in the ~$100 range and had great experiences with SAPPHIRE products before. This card is great if you need something cheap and able to run most games on medium settings but don't expect much from Eyefinity when gaming. You can run 3 monitors on the card with no issues other than the fact you won't be playing any games with all 3 of them. If you need to run multiple monitors for the extra screen space when coding or doing non-graphically intensive work then this card is perfect but if you are looking to run anything that needs a fair amount of power go for the 2GB version or a more powerful card. One thing that does help make up for it's lack of single-card Eyefinity prowess, is the card is Crossfire-capable. These cards in Crossfire do a great job at running games like World of Warcraft or Supreme Commander 2 over multiple screens. And they are QUIET! You will only notice any real fan noise when hitting 75-80% fan speed but these cards tend to stay cool so you will almost never need to crank it up.
To sum it up, if you are looking for a cheap card to do moderate gaming on or multiple monitors for coding, this just might be the card for you. Since I have purchased it the price as actually dropped to under $70 from when I last checked so you can get for even cheaper.
