Bought two of these with plans on crossfire on an ASUS X58 Sabertooth board. They sure as heck did not fit the way they came... The heat sink on the back of the card adds a quarter inch above where the pcb plugs into the PCI-E slot on the motherboard, and then it's just as big as a reference board on the bottom. I didn't quite have the option to return them with my purchase method, so I had to dremel off half the top card's plastic guard (which has to be left somewhat intact to hold the fan) and filed the fins down on the metal heat sink on the bottom card where the top's fan would be. In other words, I had both cards fully disassembled and put back together before I used them, luckily they work just fine. This is no simple fix, there is a LOT of space where they originally didn't fit. ASUS really should have taken this into mind when designing the standard fan/heat sink assembly on the card. I'll try to throw in a picture of my current setup.As far as performance goes... WOW! These things are incredible in CFX. I previously ran a 295GTX and am noticing huge gains that I wasn't really sure if I'd get. 3dMark Vantage score of P30805 to be exact, (paired with 6gb Corsair RAM at 1800mhz, i7-970 at 3.6ghz) with the cards overclocked to 975/1150mhz EACH! No artifacts or stutters came up, probably could have gone higher if I was willing to push them more. Temps got to about 74 at full load during the test. Incredible at 1080p, maxing out Crysis 2 with the dx11/hi-res patches and Metro 2033 at completely playable frame rates. I am nothing short of amazed by the performance of these cards. *Do keep in mind that if you want to play at any resolutions higher than 1080p, you are definitely better off with a card that has 2GB of VRAM.All in all, I am almost inclined to take another star off for the big design flaw of these cards. Be sure you are willing to gamble with ripping them up in order to fit two into your system... But I can say that the reward of their performance is completely worth it. CFX bridge is included with each card, as well as some junky ASUS overclocking software (I'm just using the Catalyst Overdrive software in the Drivers for now).

Bought this card for my wifes 890fx board, phenom 955 oc to 3.8ghz with 4 gig of g.skill ripjaws 1600 . let me say first. The picture of this that is used for advertisment does not really show how big it is and how nice of quality it has really has. It is a beast of a card . I have 2 hd6870 ref cards with the red and black pin stripes on the shroud intalled in xfire on my asus chfIV board and this card dwarfs them. As soon as i pulled the card out of the box and seen the heavy duty black alluminum Backplate underneath it with the huge heatpipes my jaw dropped. Makes the referance hd6870 cards look like toys . It is huge! The black plastic shroud i would guess makes it an inch or maybe a little longer than the ref cards. I was lucky it fit into my wifes storm scout case without modifying the back part of the shroud with a dremel . It is also a little thicker than two slots but if i wanted to xfire them on this biostar 890fx mb it would just clear to slide the second card in. Unfortunatly i would not be able to xfire 2 of these beast bucuz i put in x-fi titanium where i would put the second card .Again What really impressed me about the this card was the the thick black aluminum plate that covers the top of the card after it was installed into the system . It screams quality! I will be quik about the benchmarking and overclocking i did on this beast . as soon as i got the drivers installed i went to ccc overdrive cranked the fan to 100% and slid the gpus slider all the way to the right to 1000mhz and did the same thing with the memory clock from 1050 to 1250 and hit apply . i then downloaded cod black ops , furmark , and unigine heaven and did some 3d tweaks in the ccc 3d settings . ran furmark stabilty for awile with no crashes. i was sure it would crash the system with the cores maxed out like my ref cards do if i slide the settings up . nope not this beast . plays black ops maxed out with out a hiccup/stutter,, buttery smooth baby!:D i set the cores and fan back to the defaults and ran the unigine directx11 benchmark with everything turned off . no aa , no af and no tessilation and whatever else that is in the settings . just bare minimum settings and ran it for a few minutes and it seemed to hover around 39-40 fps. Shut the program down went back turned everything back up in ccc and ran the benchmark again with the cores maxed out and got 49-51 fps . this card is sick sick sick . it is rock solid stable with the both cores sliders in ccc overdrive maxed out . Probubly due to the aluminum backplate and the huge hsf with the crazy huge heat pipes this thing sports . i got an extra 10fps when i overclocked the thing . crazy nice quality . prob gonna have to pick up another and ditch my x-fi titanium to make room for another. ewwww onboard sound,,eeeek:D

Like tittle said. Great performance and very cold but after 65ºC get a little loud by the fan speed with smartdoctor setup in auto, but even with that im thinking on buy one more for crossfire. I love this card.
