I have a "media" PC that I use for consoling and playing some games on, so originally stuck a 560 GTX in. It's a micro ATX case (Silverstone FT03) - but the noise of the graphics card was doing my head in. Replacing the cooler fixed that problem for a couple of months until the card started reporting 100 degree+ temps so I needed to buy a new card.
I'm a bit impulsive, so grabbed a 7770 from the purple shirt people and it worked out okay, coul play all my stuff at 720p with settings turned up no problem.
Like I said, bit impulsive so grabbed another one.
The stable drivers were a bit of a mess, 10.3 catalysts included lots of bluescreens.
Put the 10.6 betas on, and it's pretty stable. Missing a few annoyance fixes around display scaling with this version.
The cards scale near enough linearly tho, jumped from 40fps to 70fps and temps on both cards are maxing out at 55c (was 45c single). Getting about 1500 in Heaven 3.0 with all the recommended settings from here @ 1080p.
