The dirt 3 promotion is a pain in the neck. i do have gripes about the dirt3 promotion, catalyst control center eyefinity configurations, and the rebate: buy two of these for a 6 monitor setup.Д¬ons: ummm, as far as the card, can't really think of any. Use them to convert your mini-dp 1.2 ports to single link DVI for a 4 monitor/card setup. I have 4 Accell B087B-006B adapters (2 in use right now). I have a total of 8 monitors, so i purchased 1 more today in order to power the other 4. My machine booted up with no issues on the video card and after a couple days of stable performance i returned the backup nvidia cards. I was very scared as I had reliability issues with AMD in the past and have stuck with nvidia ever since, and just as a precaution I had ordered 3 nvidia cards. So, I arrived back in the US and my laptop died, leaving me 1 day to build my new rig from the parts I ordered from newegg and a.mazon, including this xfx 6580 card i got from newegg. Pros: 2 mini display port 1.2 (using both)Дў dvi, 1 single link and 1 dual link (using both) A GTX 460 almost draws 100Watts more at load than this card, and has comparable performance. Overall Review: It has much less power draw for its performance than its competitors, and only requires 1 PCI-E power connector, where most of Nvidia's require 2. But I don't consider this a con, it leaves lots of headroom. Just to see how loud it would get I manually ran it at 100%, because it will never get to 100% unless the temps are 90C+. CF ready.Д¬ons: The fan at 50% or over is noticeable, but not annoying. This not only yields 10fps more in games, but it still wont get above 70C.

I got core/memory clocks from 775/1000 respectively, to 940/1025 respectively, without even changing the voltage. Very low power draw in comparison for the performance it delivers.

After re-application of better thermal paste, even with 3dMark, it will never go above 70C. Can Play BF3 with all settings on 'Ultra'.
