Ge-Force 9800GTX

white Reviewed By: s-dawg on 4/26/2008
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good performances in almost all the most demanding games besides Crysis. It runs smoothly and quiet at idle, and gets the job done. Not impressive in terms of 3D-Mark06 scores but my mb is not a gaming one. Needs two 6-pin connectors and at least 500W in your power supply.
Cons: This is a good upgrade if you own a series 7 or older nVidia graphic card, it will be a good step up from a 8600GT/S but if you own a 8800GT/S/X you will not be WOWED by this card performances.

The fan is too slow in auto mode, and nTune fails to fix this.
Riva tuner does the job. Waiting for EVGA precision.
Other Thoughts: I am not impressed by this card, being an owner of an EVGA Ge-Force 8800GT.

Pros: Awesome gaming card. I upgraded from a 8600 gts and this card blows that one out of the water. Playing all games on max settings and all are running great. Gears of War looks even better on my computer then it does for my xbox 360.
Cons: A little big, but, i made it fit inside :D.
Other Thoughts: My friend has a 8800 GT and my card has about 10-15 fps advantage on it. But, this card does come with dx 10.1, which is nice for vista users.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: A complete beast of a card, for the price this thing is a g-o-d... I'd be willing to pay $500 for the performance out of this thing, my PC no longer lags AT ALL with this and a Q6600! If you want a stable PC for cheap that could still out perform half of the gamer PC's out there, get this with a Q6600!
Cons: Runs at 60 Celsius idle, 66 Celsius full load. Good in terms of heat increase under load, but 140 degrees Fahrenheit is a bit too much for comfort... Even when merely idling...
Other Thoughts: In-game specs coupled with 4 GB's DDR2 800 RAM and a Q6600 2.4 GHz stock and max graphics set: 120-150 FPS in Unreal Tournament 2004, 60 FPS in Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour (Possibly capped? Dips down to 10 FPS when the game is being heavily bogged down with maximum players), 64 FPS (Capped) in Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne, 30-100 in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 (But down to 5-15 when a huge coaster is being placed). Sorry for not installing Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, and Command and Conquer 3 yet, I've been rather busy with messing with my G15 LCD screen ;D.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This thing kicks complete rear-end. I've had it a month now, I don't know what the bench markings are on it for me but it's running Crysis and Age of Conan on max resolution and graphics with virtually no problems. I'm coming from a Radeon 9800 PRO so this was a big upgrade.
Cons: It's relatively large fitting into the case but goes in fine.
