Pros: Its an 8800GT.. Its 3% slower than a 8800gtx in most cases @ 1600x1200 or so. Its dx10 ready and it beats crysis's Behind!

Cons: Its leadtek. I wanted evga but i couldnt afford it with tyhe $500.00 of upgrades i was doing such as a new psu and a zalman 9700 and stuff

Other Thoughts: If your cards running hot use Riva -tuner to force the fan speed to 100% dur..
Sys specs. Amd opteron 165@2.9ghz 2x1gb Kingston ddr400
Zalman 9700NT 600 watt PSU.. If i dont get 10k in 06 im gonna be p'd! havent recieved card yet but i bought it!

Pros: This card is amazing. This is the reference version though. If you know what you are doing you can overclock to 675/1850 easily and save yourself some money.

Cons: Cooling system is not very good but it helps to keep the cost down.

Pros: outstanding nVidia chip. card can overclock to 700/1000 on its own cooler easily w/o issues. (i dont, only wanted to see, verified w/3D benchmarks)

Cons: The card has cooling issue. The fan just does not kick in to start cooling it down. Just lets it go to high 70s Celcius. (Probably let it burn it, only noticed cause game crashed). They seem to be aware of the problem as they have a new bios for the card for "better fan cooling". Tried it, no go. My brother bought same card at same time as me and has same problem.

Other Thoughts: Should not have shipped product with such obvious issue. Waiting for Leadtek technical support to resolve issue. Ive only started the process. So far its reached mid-high 70 degrees Celcius and crashed game when i forget to change fan speed manually (nVidia control panel doesnt seem to let to you save that setting, so HAVE to remember every boot). Flashing the card was a big hassle, fyi. used nvflash.exe version 5.57.
