Most Bang for Your BuckStrengths: Card not only utilized PCI Express 2.0, but also utilizes 4th Generation DDR Memory where most still use 3rd Generation Memory.

Strengths: Excellent video card! Runs cool and quiet.
Weakness: Nothing I can think of.
I was an nVidia fan for a long time and I own several nVidia GeForce cards. Recently, after reading several reviews I decided to give a shot at ATI and I am very satisfied. I am running Flight simulator X with all settings at high and it runs smooth.
