The choice of buying a $99 card or a slightly more expensive card with more features and performance is always hard to make, but this card does the job it is supposed to and the argument about spending a little more money is always hard in these economic times. Gigabyte has followed the reference design in terms of clock speeds and the card is really close to the reference designed cards by ATI with the addition of their own fan assembly. The lack of any SLI support is the one true negative of this card as trading SLI for DX 10.1 is not a great tradeoff for most gamers, due mainly to the fact that hardly any games are out that even support 10.1, while SLI is a solid feature. You can however use this card as a dedicated PhysX card in lieu of an SLI add-in.
