This is a great card for the money.The 6950 comes well packaged with the card itself in the upper section of the box, with a lower box holding the accessories. The box is very sturdy and well constructed. The accessory box contains:* 2 molex to 6-pin adapters.* 1 HDMI cable* 2 mini display port to display port adapters* 1 crossfire bridge* 1 DVI - D-sub adapter* 1 driver CD* 1 user manual* 1 warranty card* 1 card for free Dirt3 gameFor anyone wondering, the card is 9.5" in length so it should fit into most cases. I was concerned as many other 6950 cards are much larger in length and wouldn't fit my case. It's a 2 slot card so it takes up 2 full slots in your PC. The rear of the card contains the following outputs:* 2 x DVI (1 Single Link, 1 Dual Link)* 2 x Mini DisplayPort* 1 x HDMISince this isn't a reference card, there is no dual bios switch. Installation was a snap, though this card does require an additional 6-pin power cord from your power supply, so be sure your PSU has enough plugs. Adapters are included if you need to use molex plugs.After installing the card and firing it up, I was able to download the latest Catalyst drivers from AMD.com. They have a nice little utility which will determine the drivers required for your card. Coming from an older 4870, the performance was astonishing. I was now able to play games at close to full quality, with great frame rates. The fan is a bit quieter than the old sapphire 4870, and I still need to check power consumption.After downloading the Sapphire Trixx software I was able to overclock the core to 870 MHz with no issues. I'll try to push it to 970 MHz after I get some base numbers. I have not attempted to unlock the shaders, as I've heard that may not be an option with this card.One big downside is that AMD wouldn't honor the card for the free Dirt3 game. If the free game factors into your buying decision, be aware that you will most likely not receive it.Overall I'm enjoying this card as it was a great price for a 2GB 6950.Pros:* Great price for a 2GB card* Runs very cool with low noise* only 9.5" so fits most cases* Performs as good as any 6950 reference card* Easily overclocks* Good selection of accessoriesCons:* No dual bios* Unable to unlock shaders* Will soon be outperformed by the 7900 series.* No free Dirt3 game as promised on the package.I would have given it 4 stars, but I had to remove a star for Amazon's decision to start using cheap shipping companies for their free shipping. If you see Lasership as your shipping method, quickly cancel your order, unless you want weeks of aggravation trying to obtain your package. There are thousands of complaints on this shipper in the consumer forum. Amazon continues to use them even though they are aware of this companies poor record. This will be the last product I purchase from Amazon until they decide to stop using Lasership as a carrier.

Great card that runs pretty much any video game. Only beaten by the 6970 and other multi GPU cards (which are much more expensive).Only con would be it's a little loud while gaming (I live in a quiet area with low background noise).
