Great
Will run any game I've played so far, won't handle max settings for higher end games.

Amazing Video Card
This video card can easily handle anything out with ease, the only drawback is the large amount of power it takes, I blew 2 500 watt power supplies thinking that it would be big enough, but finally had to upgrade to a 700 watt power supply because it was drawing too much power from the smaller ones and overloading them.

Dead after 5 hours, but replaced without any problems.
I probably got a flaky copy in the first place, but the system hung with a frozen screen after less than five hours of non-intense usage. I originally installed the card taking electrostatic precautions. On reboot the MLB LEDs showed the system hanging on VGA. I replaced the card with a 50$ NV using the same slot and everything worked fine again.
Update: I had the card replaced using the sellers RMA process. Replacement went smooth and I the copy I have now works perfectly.

So far so good!
Easy to install, useful software.
I have yet to really push this beast to its limits (Modern Warfare 2 where are you?! EDIT: Screw you MW2 I'll stick with COD4 and Batman Arkham Asylum)
The only game I have tried this out with is Bioshock and everything looked great.
I highly recommend this video card.

ahhh ha! i figured it out!
first let me say that this card is great! this card is more than the vapor-x cooled 4870 because you can oc it more in ccc! my friend got the vapor-x version and it can oc and does keep cool, but cant oc as much as this card! so this is what ccc lets you oc to
*****this is how high ccc will let you oc to, you might not be able to oc that high*****
*vapor-x version*
core clock:790
mem clock:1100
*this card*
core clock:850
mem clock:1200
i oced it to core:830 and mem:1030 i have to keep the fan at 60% but it works fine under full load
wish this card had vapor-x cooling, im considering buying the vapor-x cooled version and switching the coolers
