I bought this as a gift to upgrade my brother's 5850. He noticed the speed bump immediately. Vast improvement in playing his games. SO for this I'm giving the card 5 stars, even though it may get loud at higher loads. Also, don't plan on overclocking it so the firmware upgrade to bios 032 is not necessary for me.

A common complaint for this card is the heat and noise but with a bit of tweaking it can be completely irrelevant. The noise at high fan speed is the one thing you can't really help, but you can definitely manage the heat so it doesn't force the fan to blow hard.
The factory set core voltage of this fan is ridiculously high, contributing to a ton of fast heat build up. It can be anywhere between 1188-1250ish mV. You can overclock this card AND you don't even need to be anywhere near these numbers. I recommend you find an overclocking software to reduce the core voltage to 950mV base, which would cool down this card on load big time. Currently running +8%power limit with 1150/1500 on 950mV.

This card is a beast. For the 230$ I paid after rebates and shipping, it is definitely worth the money. At first I had some heat problems but I added 2 more fans to my case and made a collective push/pull sequence (cycle air in from front and back then exhaust through side). It overclocked well to 1225 core and 1550 memory, but nothing further. Plays any game I throw at it maxed out including Tomb Raider and Bio-shock, which coincidentally come free with it! I might have to pick up a second one if my pocket allows.

Coming from a 69502gb, I was more than satisfied. I was surprised and amazed at the improvement. 7700 3dmarks score from 5200 on the 6950. 8500 3dmarks at 1100mhz core clock.
idles at 32c instead of 52, very overclock friendly. decent temps.

Had an old ATI4870 and this is WAY faster than it. NCIX shipped quickly - good experience. Card, so far, works flawlessly. Only caveat is it was quite a bit longer than my old 4870 so I had to make a minor mod to my Antec case to get it in. Otherwise smiles across the board.

Just picked up this card yesterday...my first card going into the gaming scene. I'm in amazement, no lower then 55fps on bf3 on ultra. This card's a beast! Stays under 70C on near to full load. At lowest fan setting, 25%, fan is inaudible. Auto fan control never ramps it over 50%. At 50% the fan is audible but not annoying, 100% however, it is quite loud, even with a closed case, but not necessary for gaming. Reviews compare it to a 660 ti, for a cheaper price, who wouldn't go for it, got it for $234.99 + $20 MIR, can't go wrong! The overclocking is excellent on this card, reviews got it to 1.2ghz stable w/o voltage tweak; currently at 1ghz. Memory overclocks to 130mhz above stock. Overall amazing card for the price, performance, noise, etc. Lving it so far!
