4 out of 5 eggsYes NEDLOH you are right

Pros: This card when it came out is awesome and a very good upgrade to SLi if you already have one. NEDLOH you would get almost 10K in 3dmark06 with just one of these if you had a better CPU. I have an 8800GT but I have an AMD 9500+ X4 Quad and when I OC it from 2.2 to 2.5 I get like 9700 on 3dmark06. I also OC the 8800GT from 600MHZ CPU to 700 and from 1800MHZ memory to 2000MHZ total. I think the shader clock at 700mhz is 1750mhz. If I got a better HSF I could OC my CPU higher and I believe the 8800GT would scale with that. Cause from 2.2GHZ to 2.5 I gained almost 1500 points in 3dmark06.

Cons: They run a little hot. You need a good case with excellent cooling to make sure this card runs good.

NEDLOH you would want to sell me your 8800GT so I can SLI would you? LOL JK.

Other Thoughts: Newegg is the best.

My RIG:
AMD Phenom 9500+ X4
Asus M4N82 Deluxe (Newegg)
GSkill DDR2 1066MHZ (Newegg)
EVGA 8800GT 512MB
Antec Nine Hundred
Antec Quattro 800Watt

5 out of 5 eggsStill Going1

Pros: -I've had an 8800GT since I started gaming on my PC, the price per performance on this card is amazing, especially now since its only $99
-I've had two of these in SLI for a year now and its great. I have read online that these in SLI can out preform a single 4890,GTX260, and a GTX275.
-Great perfomance and quality
-Thin size
-PhyX support

Cons: -I don't have this exact model of the 8800GT, I have a different PNY one and then a factory nVidia one. Mine run pretty hot especially understrees.65C~90C with a good case.
-Small cooling fan can generate a lot of noise especially once they are above 50%

Other Thoughts: -I think what holds my rig back in the benchmarks is my CPU. When playing new games like FarCry 2 my CPU fan speeds up sometimes, which lets me know its working hard. And all the benchmarks that I have seen where the 8800GT in SLI beats the 4890,GTX260,and GTX275 are using core i7 processors. So when these cards have a fast CPU to work with, they are amazing.
-I really want to upgrade to something much faster than my AMD Athlon X2 5200+. I am sure my 3DMark score will rise with a new CPU like the Phenom II X4 955. Then my cards can fly.
Current 3DMark score with the 8800GT in SLI is 12500

4 out of 5 eggssli is ok

Pros: I bought a second one of these from newegg this week to put my other pny 8800 in sli for a kind of sli experiment. I had considered just getting a gtx 260, but had never done sli so I gave it a try.
It works just fine especially for street fighter 4. wiith the single 8800 gt i had to turn some setting down to get 60 frames per second.
but now I can turn them all up and get 60 frames just fine.
Everthing fit just fine in my antec sonata2
this is a newer version of the pny 8800gt which runs significantly cooler than my older version.

Cons: Crysis was rather dissappointing however. my frames did not seem to go up much at all in enthusiast.
Also, there were many artifacts and glitches unlike in single card mode.

On some reputable benchmark sites i have read that a sli 8800gt set up is better than a gtx 280 single in some situations. If this is true, then the 280 gtx is not worth the dough.

t

Other Thoughts: amd 6400x2 3.2ghz, two caviar blacks 500gb wd drives, corsair 850 power supply, 8800gt sli, lg blue ray drive, 8gb corsair 6400 ram.

my windows 7 experience reading for these cards went from 5.9 to 6.5 when put in sli, a big jump yes, but not quite big enough for 100 bucks. i was expecting at least a 7 something.

After three years with this rig, I have no more upgrading to do. it is maxed out. No more fun until i get some more dough for a new rig. well, maybe i can get some raptors?
