This is my first video card, switched from Radeon HD4200 on-board video so I could play games on better settings. I like it, I didn't realize how big it was until I installed it; it's not huge but I have sacrificed one of my pci bays in addition to the PCI Express 2 (not a big deal, I wasn't using it).

Pros: Price, Direct X 11, 1 GB GDDR5, runs cool

Cons: Another fan added to my system- quite noticeable when under load

If you are strictly HDMI: there's no hdmi output until windows is started up, the card gets added, and then your system is restarted... after you restart your computer you'll get HDMI output, then you can install the drivers and had a nicer resolution. If you have access to a VGA/DVI cable & monitor it's probably easier, but I just started up my computer, blindly entered my login password, waited a few minutes (until my hdd light stopped blinking) then pressed CRL+ALT+DEL until my system rebooted, then i was able to see.

Other: It's red, its not an actual con but I wish the card was black or blue so it would match my mobo and overall color scheme. Requires external power. The fan can be turned down manually in the Catalyst Control Center...
