Pros: Low Power, No Fan, 3Yr warranty Cons: DVI Dongle Overall Review: Putting in new PCs. Sandy Bridge will not let us keep any of our existing PCI video cards. Typical PC setup has 4-8 monitors for us (Biz graphics only). Use two of these cards plus on board for 7 monitors. Firepro 2270 x1 works well too. Also FirePro 2460 for 4-Head card.

Pros: Installs easily. Low profile. Very low power requirements < 25 watts. Quiet (no fan.) Cons: Haven't been able to configure dual head for a projector on Microsoft Multipoint OS 2011. Overall Review: Purchased a Dell R210 server to use for Microsoft Multipoint OS 2011. No one knew including Dell nor Microsoft that this server is incompatible to Multipoint. Also using Plugable's multifunction devices.
Because Dell is still using video technology from 1998, it is incapabable of working with multiple sessions. Also, the PCIE slot would not put out more than 25 watts. This card was a life saver in that after install, Multipoint worked exactly as expected saving the server from becoming an expensive paperweight.
We are successfully running 12 workstations plus the server on Multipoint. The server has a xeon hyperthreaded quad core at 2.93 ghz with 16gb ram. Running 10 workstations on Youtube puts the server at about 90% cpu power.
Note: the Dell R210 only has one slot available meaning that no hardware raid card can be installed.

Pros: Price, features Cons: Poor heatsink design Overall Review: I’ve had two of these fail in about 6 months time, out of the 12 we purchased. The replacements have had a different heatsink design to allow parallel airflow to move across the card, rather than perpendicular to the card.. (Heatsink only had perpendicular slots, not parallel). Both cards that have failed thus far have bowed from heat making the heatsink bend outward from the GPU.
AMD won’t do anything but replace these one at a time, so avoid them at all costs if you want to deal with RMA at all.

Pros: Bought this Card over 2 years ago when I bought a SuperMicro Barebones kit from NewEgg that had no PCI x16 slots to drive two monitors.
Even though it only has 512MB of DDR3 it is capable of driving two widescreen monitors. I have a Calibrated NEC P221W 22″ Display running at 1680×1050 and an ASUS ProArt 24″ running at 1920×1200.
This card was designed to add additional Monitors to CAD or Medical Imaging workstations and while is not suitable for anything but really lightweight gaming it easily handles Photoshop CS, InDesign, and Premiere as well as 1080p playback.
It is passively cooled so the system is quiter only consuming 15W for the 512MB version and 17W for the 1GB model. Cons: After 2 1/2 years one of the pegs holding the HeatSink snapped and the HeatSink has warped on one side almost touching an adjacent card. I would have been really pi**ed-off if this had shorted out my SAS controller which was beside it but noticed it in time and have glued a small piece of cardstock where it might hit should it warp further.
The heatsink is likely undersized as the SuperMicro case is not stuffed full and has good airflow as I have not gotten any Thermal Alarms from the on-board sensors. Overall Review: Am contacting AMD as there is a three year warranty on this unit.

Pros: No fan. Good price. Dual monitor. Low profile. Great for a new workstation with DP support.
Only gave it 3 eggs not because it’s a bad card, but because of the frustrating experience and extra cost to use it. Cons: You will not get 2560 x 1600 resolution with the included DVI adapter.
The Newegg description is incomplete, not really their fault as descriptions on the box and the AMD site are also misleading.
On the box, it specifies that 2560×1600 resolution is available for “digital” only. With analog, you only get 1920×1200. The AMD site says pretty much the same thing.
So I hook this thing up with a DVI-D DL cable. And I know what the “-D” stands for, DIGITAL! The cable is right. The monitor is digital. It’s all DIGITAL! But you know, that wasn’t good enough.
If you look at the data sheet then, it says something else. It doesn’t say digital. Guess what it says you need for high resolution? Yep. That’s right: Displayport!
So, if you get this and you want hi-res, make sure you get the DP adapter for it. (Search for “DMS-59”) Overall Review: I wasted a lot of time on this before figuring it out. If I factor in the cost of the card, ~$120, plus the cost of the adapter and cables ~$50, I should have been looking in the $200 range from the start.
Only gave it 3 eggs not because it’s a bad card, but because of the frustrating experience and extra cost to use it.
Hopefully this review will help others.

Pros: Comes with a splitter for dual VGA monitor support.
Has Linux driver support (will have to update them manually after OS is installed though).
No fan so operation is noiseless.
Low profile bracket included Cons: Terrible for gaming, but you should know that going in.
Price is still ridiculously high. You could easily find a desktop card with DVI and HDMI out that will fit in a slim case. If you are going for 2 VGAs though, its nice that the adapter comes with it. Overall Review: 2 DVI outs or 1 VGA and 1 DVI would have been nice, but that would have taken away its slim case option. Overall I am happy with this card. Have seen one melt after 4 years and don’t know what that is about, but since mine is still running fine, I would recommend this card.

Pros: ATI replaced the card with the warped heat sink under warranty with no problems. The replacement has been running for a year now and no sign of heat issues. Runs Adobe CC no problem with GPU acceleration in LR and PS. Not the fastest card out there but adequate and is passively cooled, only 1 slot wide and one of the few options for running two monitors at 1K (1920×1200) using only a PCIe-x1 slot if your motherboard is challenged like mine was. The included DMS-59 to DVI dongle just supports single link so if you want to run 2K monitors get a DMS-59 to dual display port adapter from Newegg like this StarTech one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G2HZ3996&cm_re=DMs-59_display_port-_-12-400-616-_-Product Cons: Wish it had 1GB DDR3 rather than the 512MB but it appears the 1GB is only available in the PCIe x16 version Overall Review: After 4 years I’ve upgraded to a new motherboard and CPU. I’m still using this card but will be replacing it shortly with a W4100 from Newegg as I finally have a PCIe x16 slot available! I popped a old Radeon HD5670 1GB card I had in the parts bin and that is much more snappy but I went back to the FirePro as that is the only way for now to get 10-bit colour and for photography those two extra bits make a huge difference.

Pros: I installed the card in a Dell PowerEdge 6800 that had an onboard video GPU that was going bad. The server is pretty old (made in 2006) but with the installation of this video card I was able to install openSUSE Leap 42.1 (most recent version) and run KDE Plasma 5 without any problems. Before installing the card I would have all sorts of strange video related issues. Some of the problem was the old GPU going bad, but most was that it was so old that it just didn’t support modern graphics. Cons: Only 512 MB of VRAM. Not a big problem for me, but I wish it had at least 1 GB Overall Review: I absolutely recommend this to other customers in a similar situation.
