GREAT CARD!!
- Pros: Works in my Dell E521 with a 305watt power supply. Great card for gaming and its HDCP features. Scored a 9867 on 3DMark05. Plus its Dx10 too, so when the time comes you'll be ready. Anyway I'm really happy!
- Cons: The 8600 and 8500 are all only 128 bit.
- Other Thoughts: If you do end up getting this for a E521 or a E520, make sure you get a 4 pin molex "Y" connector.
Very Good
- Pros: This card is very good for what I want to do with it... I play Warhammer 40k Dawn of War and its expansions on max settings... with hundreds of units on the field and it works flawlessly... Battle Field 2142 works amazingly with very good graphics... it runs the World in Conflict alpha with amazing visuals, I can zoom from my Fighter Gets and Helicopters in the air all the way down and across the battle field to my ground forces with almost no lag and details turned all the way up... This is a great buy... I am on Windows Vista as of Yesterday and it runs it very well...
- Cons: None so far... it runs all of my games and programs fine...
- Other Thoughts: I thought about buying a second one, but one is fine for now but I may upgrade later...

Great Card For The Price!
- Pros: This card is a great choice for games such as Age Of Empires 3. I play all my games at a screen resolution of 1680x1050 and am impressed by the speed at which it runs. I am able to play Flight Simulator X with all the graphics turned up to medium high. Definately worth every penny I put in to it!
- Cons: Um...
- Other Thoughts: Works great with Windows Vista.
Solid Card
- Pros: Solid performer in its class. The prices have dropped a good deal since i have bought the card - but i was happy with it. But....
- Cons: ...it wassnt a 8800 GT - and with the prices dropping the way they did, i had to buy one. So - if you want above average performance - you will not be happy.
- Other Thoughts: I was able to get to 8053 3dmark score with this card (With a Phenom 9500 getting a cpu score of 3400) What the prices are now (120 or less for these) you cant beat it. But if you really are wanting the next lvl - your going to have to pay a tad more. People who want an upgrade - but dont want to break the bank - not a bad option.
Eggxellent Card
- Pros: I got this card to upgrade from on board NVIDIA 6150 SE graphics and man it was huge difference! The card is super quiet also. Now I can run all games maxed out (execept for Crysis) which I can run on medium settings at 1024x768 resolution and it still looks amazing in DX 10. The card is fast (not 8800 fast) but it's fast enough for me. I'm still trying to tweak the settings on Flight Sim X, but I think you need a NASA computer to run that and make it look the way you want it to and get playable frame rates.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Get this card. You won't regret it.
