This is a good board. Good to know the noise is below the average as well.
However I had bad luck with this one. When I try to switch the clone option on, in both Windows XP or Vista the video signal sometimes fails, loose sync or even the whole image either in one or both monitors.
I’m using two Samsung LCD FULLHD, 32″ and 40″.
I haven’t had this problem with my old Gigabyte 8800GT 512mb and my previous Evga 7800GTX. The problem can occurs when switching resolutions too, p.ex. from 1920×1080 to 1600×900 (I had this problem with Call of Duty Modern Warfare).
I’ve even formated my Windows XP and the problem is still there. I reinstalled the drivers etc…
It’s sad once I like to play games either in my living room (using my wireless Xbox 360 controller) or in the computer’s room. The workaround I’ve found is to alternate the cables, using just one monitor at time.

I have a mid tower size Antec P150 case. I had no trouble fitting in my previous 8800GTS. Guess what? The GTX 275/285’s are even longer. This may involve you having to do some serious modification of your existing case. The GTX 275/285 card may not fit your mid tower case. The back of this card may just happen to be able to extend it’s rear end into one of the hdd bays with no problem. A lot of mid tower owners will find the card won’t fit without modifying (hacksawing) the hard drive bay shelves. It CAN be done. Buy a small hole saw with a metal cutting blade. Cut away as much space as is needed. If you have just 2 hdd’s in a mid tower case…you may need a new case to use with this card.

I was going to get an ATI HD 4870X2 because it is a little faster than this card and a little cheaper, but here’s this issue. The ATI HD 4870X2 requires 700 Watt PSU and it runs so HOT!
But, this card runs cool therefore you can overclock it as high as you want. And, second of all, it saves so much power, you can upgrade with just a 585 Watt PSU.
In TRI-SLI this is the fastest graphics card setup in the world. And, this is obviously the fastest single card GPU on the market.
5 STARS!

Installed in my Windows 7 64 bit system along side my old Geforce 8800 (for 3 monitors, not SLI). Works great. I have 8x antialiasing and anisotropic filtering enabled in all my games at 1920×1200 and I can’t see any slow down. Need to get something like Far Cry 2 to really try stressing this card out.
Cons: This card is as long as my motherboard, meaning it makes the SATA ports under it hard to or impossible to get to. I’m thinking it might be time to get a full tower computer case if I ever go SLI because right now it’s pretty cramped. You’ll also need a special power supply with 4 pci-e power connectors if you ever want to go SLI mode.
