XFX PVT71PUDE3 GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: This is my first build and I can say that this card runs extremely well in my system. I was actually buying this product because it was inexpensive and SLI-able, but was exetremely surprised by its performance. Im running most of the games Im playing at highest to near highest settings while still being able to maintain 55-60 frames/sec. Stays relatively cool to my friends' cards but probably because I have good ventilation in my case, nothing else in my PCI slots and my dorm room is freezing all the time. Fairly quiet except for a fair amount of key up noise and under load stress. XFX customer service is fantastic.

Cons: The first one I got burned out after about 2 months. Wasnt very happy about it since I have had so many PSU problems with this rig but XFX support center was great. Responses were prompt and got a brand new card within a week.

Other Thoughts: Double Lifetime Warranty in addition to great customer service and support has me hooked for XFX. I hope Im not using this card until I die and then pass it on to someone for use until they die...but I might just do it out of principle.

Pros: This is a very nice card for its tier and i have had it for a little over 3 months now. Have not had one problem with it.Plays all the games i throw at it at the highest settings.

Cons: Donr have a second one to try the Sli feature.

Other Thoughts: The Reviewer before doesnt seem to realize that to play your games at "maxed out settings" that you needs to have a decent amount of memory, a cpu with descent speed, and less important decent hdd rpm's or else you'll bottleneck the cards performance. This card has been great so far and i am concidering getting a second one to sli.

Pros: Plays my simple Games Maxed.... Scores well for 3dmax 05 and get me decend framrate on max settings.

Cons: Doesn't play my compled games at maxed...Price has gone way up from where I purchaseed tghe first one@ now i want another its gonna be like forty bucks more than the first one...

Other Thoughts: maybe sli will get me where i wanna be?
I think LOTRO May be impossible to play on ultra high.with maxed settings and quality and performance.

Pros: Very nice card. runs anything i throw at it.

Cons: I wish i could of got the extreme one it was cheaper than this one
but it was out of stock

Pros: Work fine, and looks cool too. Not much to say in detail, just a good card

Cons: No big ones. HArd to screw/clamp on my case (is it the case or the card? I'll never know...)

Other Thoughts: When finding max memory with ATITools, keeps going until it crashes... OCs ok with standard cooling, but not all that much. I threw away the box before I realized there was a rebate T_T

Pros: Great Card as expected

Cons: REBATE ONLY APPLIES TO ONE CARD, SO IF YOU WANT TO DO SLI YOU WILL GET A REBATE ON ONE CARD ONLY AND IT TAKES 8 WEEKS TO GET IT.

Pros: I don't know about this particular model but I have the extreme edition, which is just a faster clock... I overclocked it to 600mhz,1700mhz (850X2) and I was blown away.. 3dmark score from my old Geforce6600GT went from 3k+ to 9k+, non overclocked was 8k+

Cons: xfx is awesome

Other Thoughts: DOUBLE LIFETIME WARRANTEE!!!!

Pros: Bought it. Stuck it in. Currently stuck in a world of awesome graphics. I don't even have the power plugged in, b/c my power supply isn't adequate. It isn't even preforming at full speed and I am still amazed.

Cons: Wish I had enough $$$ to get a new psu.

Other Thoughts: Get it.

Pros: Crazy Fast, Stupid Powerfull, Uses only one expansion slot, runs cool. Dual DVI-I. Runs all my games at high framerates with all video settings at maximum.

Cons: Very Minor: A little heavy, from the full card length heatsink CPU and VRAM. Not an issue if your systems Motherboard has PCI-E 16x slot retaining Clips

Other Thoughts: Why buy a GF 8xxx series, DX10 is vista only, MS-Vista is broken for gaming.

Pros: Works great, maxes alot of games.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I think im going to go SLI
