It looks good, but there are no reviews yet. I like the reviews because then people mention the cons, most of the time saying the card overheats. Which I don't want. It looks like it should stay pretty cool though because of the heatsink/fan combo on it.

I looked at the specs though and it seems blazing speed for it's price.
