Pros: Solid construction, good support. Handles games at high resolution as long as you run the fan wide open. I have taxed this card for over a year with no issues.

Cons: Must run the fan at 100% to keep it from overheating which makes alot of noise.

Other Thoughts: Even after a year of ownership, I still paid less than what it is today.

Pros: I bought the 1GB version of this from newegg, I have a stock dell inspiron 530s with only a New Case, PSU, and this GPU. This card performs well above Benchmark reports I've heard, even with the rest of my system being relatively low-end.

This card has given me zero issues, installed easily out of the box and worked from day 1. The Windows Experience Index gives a 7.0 in Aero and 3D graphics for those curious about the score (That is on my mid-range Dell system, higher end Mobo's and ram may improve.)

I can play games such at Batman: Arkham Asylum on 1650x1080 Highest Settings with Framerates in the 90-110 range, though if I attempt to use video-capture programs it drops way down. It idles at 51-51 C temp.

Cons: None, though it is very large; my mini desktop motherboard still had room enough for SATA cables to my HDD and other disk drives.

Other Thoughts: I just today have overclocked it, after 7 months ownership. It performed FAR better WITHOUT overclocking than any card I've seen, which shocked me, but I was curious. I was able to increase it to:

846 MHz Core Clock, 1,944 MHz Shader clock, and 993.60 MHz Memory clock with great stability, any higher and it gets iffy. Still running at 52 C right now. Have not tested in game yet, but I assume it will increase performance a good deal, making it well in-line with even higher end video cards.

-Foxconn 33E50 Mobo
-2GB RAM (Stock)
-Intel E5200 Core 2 Duo Processor 2.5 GHz
-Rosewill Challenger ATX Mid-Tower Case (Newegg bought)
-GeForce GTS 250 1GB Core Edition (Newegg)
-585W PSU (Newegg)

^Not the highest end, but this card has set my WEI at 7.0/ on windows 7, as I said outperforms on my low-end system.

Pros: This is the same card as 9800 GTX+. They only changed the name and it only requires one power plug instead of two.
I use it under 9800 GTX+ name succesfuly under Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

Cons: Too big. Make sure you have a full ATX case.

Pros: na

Cons: They lie about their Warranty

Other Thoughts: I purchased this card it went bad in a year they replaced it. the new card didnt even make it through 3dmark 06. I sent it back they sent me pics of the back of a card with broken pieces. Why would the card have broken pieces when it was fine when I had it. They are now not replacing it. you can say I'm disgruntled, but why wouldnt I be. dont make a lifetime warranty and not honor it. now I am out the money and dont have the money to replace it. great work xfx way to show customer service. go with a different brand

Pros: This card was a vast improvement over my Geforce 8600 GTX in newer games such as Bad Company 2. Also an older game Counter-Strike Source.. i went from avg 80-100 FPS depending on the map to 190-220 FPS on the exact same hardware. I have yet to over clock it but i am going to do so here shortly. Also the fan is not loud at all and keeps the GPU core temp at a safe level. I'm Throughly impressed.

Cons: None, except the software bundle shouldnt even come with a CD because it requires you to register your product immediately upon installing.

Other Thoughts: If your system is well cooled like mine you can actually turn the Fan speed down and make it silent. The case i have is made by NZXT its the Black flip-door front HUSH case. I have 3 case fans 2 in my power supply a 120mm Processor Fan and the graphics card fan. The case has rubber gaskets for the case fans and a padded motherboard support, and all sides are padded which makes its silent.

Pros: Pros: Great Video Card Runs Wow Perfectly
Cons: none what so ever!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WOW isn't even graphically demanding the game is like 6 years old "not literally but its close" why don't you provide decent information like the following.


Enough ram to unbottlneck your system, runs crysis great as well as all the new next gen games in HD on my xx screen. for me i have a 15in screen.

Cons: not enough money atm to buy it ;(

Other Thoughts: 2 xXx alpha dog 8800GT's xfx 512mb

4gigz ram.

amd phenome quad core 2.4ghz

Asus mobo.

thermaltake m9 case.

Pros: perfect for everyday and some high-end games. easy adjust and install.

Cons: takes up two slots blocking the use of the vacant slot. gets hot easily with graphic intense games

Pros: Great Video Card Runs Wow Perfectly

Cons: none what so ever!

Pros: Had for 7 months and and im impress. great product

Cons: None, if you use the card for what it was designed for.

Pros: Fast. Comes with a fan/heatsink that vents out of the back of your case.
I haven't had a black screen (defective over current protection) yet! I haven't had to underclock my video cards or PCIe bus speed to keep my computer stable!

Cons: It's big. But it's only slightly longer than my previous video cards (2 9600 GT's in SLI).

Other Thoughts: This is an update to my previous review.
Apparently either the secondary video card was slightly loose or the power connector for it was slightly loose. Either way, I got them both working in SLI mode without blue all over the screen. Yay!
