N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/1/2006 10:41:52 PM Pleasantly surprised Pros: Good price, nice specs, great shipping. I own a ATi 9500 Pro from a few years ago and this thing is a pretty good match-up to a card that was xxx dollars when released. I put it in a machine for my family and now they can enjoy some good games. Cons: None to report so far... Other Thoughts: This is an excellent choice for gamers on a tight budget or people who want HDTV to PC interaction. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/28/2006 1:07:52 AM Great Pros: Kicks any ATI product out of the water, easy installation, no driver problems, high end games run without a hitch. Cons: Haven't come across one (a problem) yet. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/25/2006 4:19:36 PM For the price you can't complain Pros: Cheap, solid performance and stability. Cons: None really, like the title states, for the pice you can't complain. Other Thoughts: This card will run any game well, it wont run all games at “Ultra High” settings, but it’s been crystal clear and extremely smooth at “High” settings on all the games I’ve run on it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Geforce543 Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/21/2006 9:23:36 PM Not for a gamer Pros: Ok this card is definitley cheap and has 512mb. It is good for viweing pics and highdetail textures. Cons: This card will not put out it's full potential. You would think sinse the high clock and the massive 512mb it would be a stunning card. But no instead you don't even get 32 bit color. Imean the vhoice is there and it will run but not anything desent. Never try running this card in the Sourse engine. The 32bit colors are so horrifing. The card has 512mb but only 64bit memory. That limits the 512 terribly. Make a choice for another card gamers. This card will give you some weird feedback in games like Counter Strike. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/21/2006 4:38:19 PM Didn't work... Pros: Low Price, supposed to be a good card, but I wouldn't know Cons: I couldn't get it to work, it blew up my 430 watt PSU, but it was a crapppy PSU that came w/ the case. Bought a new heavy duty PSU and the card causes my system to not get into windows; I don't know if it's just a faulty card or doesn't work just w/ my system, gonna have to return it nonetheless Other Thoughts: Had to give it 3 eggs cuz I don't know whether or not it's good.

reaper1304 Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year	8/12/2006 12:24:38 PM ugh Pros: it plays Oblivion on medium setings without to much lag, and its a desent card Cons: it gets way to hot 88 C on load which is maddness and it can't play many games well with out a glitch or somthing but the heat causes lag, the fan unit on it sucks... replace it with a zalmen VGA cooler and you'll be fine but if your a hardcore gamer i wouldn't recomend this card Other Thoughts: it still works suprizingly Did you find this review helpful?

N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/4/2006 4:41:44 PM Pros: Software was up to date. Plays some games with ease, and had no issues with installation. Cons: Too slow for gamers. Just because it says 7300 dont mean it better than a 6600! Other Thoughts: Great card for small jobs. Has difficutly playing any graphics intensive games like Oblivion or BF2 at low quality. Although it can do it. Smaller games like C&C this card works just fine. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Biggins Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/2/2006 5:58:12 AM Great Card! Pros: This card provides excellent bang for the buck. I am running it on a P4 3.0 with 1 GB RAM and all of the games and movies I have played thus far have looked excellent. Even a graphically taxing game like Far Cry is very playable at Very High settings (1440x900 res.), though I had to turn the graphics down a little to get butter-smooth frame rates. As for the running temp., mine idles at 36C and has never gone above 47C under a load. Some of that is probably due to the great airflow I get from my In Win case, which I love. Cons: One quirk, when I set the shading level to High or Very High on Far Cry, sometimes there is discoloration on certain areas of terrain where action is taking place. It could be a driver issue, a game issue, or just a type of shading that this card doesn't support. I don't know and I don't really care, the game still looks great with shading set to Medium and everything else on High. Plus, HL2 has no such quirks, even with everything maxed out. Other Thoughts: I originally ordered this card on the strength of its reviews, the brand name, and the fact that I thought it had similar specs to a 7300 GT. After ordering it, I realized that the specs were not as similar to the GT as I thought, so I considered sending it back for a different card. I'm really glad I didn't. For a casual gamer like me, this card rocks. Hardcore gamers may want to look at a higher model if they want ultra-high settings at ultra-high framerates all the time. Regardless, I am very happy and highly recommend BFG Tech cards. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Larunis Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/29/2006 2:46:34 PM Don't know a lot but... Pros: Alright, I don't know a lot about video and graphics cards but I do know that when I can run World of Warcraft on full graphics for this price, something muct be good. Easy as cake install. If you are like me and don't really know what to look for and have a small budget at that, this card does wonders. I'm not sure how it will do with newer games coming on the scene, but as far as WoW is concerned, this card is the bomb! Cons: Nothing at all. Did you find this review helpful?

jrdnbaade Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/25/2006 11:08:55 AM Pros: I ordered a different card when I built my parents computer. It died around a month in, but after I RMA'd it Newegg had to give us a refund which we used to buy this. It's working great! Thanks newegg. :) Cons: None so far. Did you find this review helpful?

Hulk12 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/22/2006 9:01:59 AM Very nice Pros: This card is great for a small home system. Games and video are great on it. Cons: GPU cooler is a little weak. The heatsink is cheap. Yet voiding the warranty is never good. Did you find this review helpful?

mct75 Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	7/6/2006 2:30:03 PM Hot-- but GREAT card! Pros: Very powerful! Best price/performance value out there. Overclocks very well. Cons: Runs very hot! (~-80c) Uses odd hole spacing for the cooler, so finding a replacement cooler is hard. Other Thoughts: I heard that nvidia was going to extend sli to theese cards. I might just buy another. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

cborga Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	6/9/2006 9:23:10 AM good bang for the buck Pros: good card for the money, this is great is you just play a game once in a while like me. Cons: not very good for games like battlefiled 2 Other Thoughts: if you plan on playing battlefiled 2 or games that are really graphics intence get the 6800ultra or the newer 7800. these are based on the older 6200 and honestly aren't made for hardcore gamers.

Shazbot Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/21/2006 1:24:30 PM NOT a Placeholder card - MY Mistake - LOL Pros: I doubt you will find a better bang for your buck. Really nicely fast - clearly not out and out blistering and you should not expect that but really does do the biz - bought as a filler and may not change for a year or so Cons: None - clean install, good driver and accessory CD's Other Thoughts: Right now I doubt you can beat this by much at the price. The EGG scores a home run AGAIN! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Logicjoe Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/17/2006 11:39:03 PM Good for the money Pros: Great card for the cost Cons: The ability to "push the card" to 512 is a joke. Borrowing ram from the system creates lots of latency and it is for someone too cheap to buy the card they want. Other Thoughts: Thank goodness it is not ATI . Really bad experiences with ATI cards (9 cards and no luck, finally got my money back) 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Porkchop Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	5/17/2006 2:38:42 PM Good Card Pros: As always, Newegg and BFG rock! Great card for the price. OC's fairly well and runs through everything game I have thrown at it with ease. Moved up to this from a BFG Geforce 5900 128 MB and have seen enough improvement in performance that I am satisfied with it. Cons: Should have saved my money a little longer and perhaps bought a higher end card as prices generally fall pretty quickly. This particular model does not have SLI capability, but is still a good card. For the price I am using it in most of the computers I build now. Other Thoughts: I have this paired with an Asus A8N Deluxe Mobo and 1 gig DDR400 RAM, and an Athlon 64 3700. Runs great and cool. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?

The_Wanderer Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	5/14/2006 9:18:43 AM Very Good Pros: Very powerful, in fact i needed a new power supply unit because it was so powerful. I really reccomend it to everybody. Cons: Their tech support makes you wait A LOT! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Nuge Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/13/2006 7:40:34 PM Affordable Video Acceleration Pros: A decent card for the money - I run 3 GB of dual channel system memory, so there's plenty of room for the card to "share". Price was good for the quality. Cons: Might have been better off waiting to invest in a bit higher end card - GeForce 7900, since prices fall quickly on leading edge technology... Other Thoughts: I like the driving concept of BFG as a company - maximizing performance without sacrificing price. Excellent warranty coverage, as well. NewEgg's pricing promotions are the best on the web. Thans NewEgg! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Kyle Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	4/5/2006 6:34:03 PM Very good card. Pros: I bought this card to just be a placeholder until some direct x 10 cards come out. I was amazed at what I bought. It plays Doom 3 at ultra high settings and most other games at high/ultra high. It comes overclocked 50mhz. Cons: None really for the price Other Thoughts: Comes with a load of other stuff. Came with free software to ley you play games without discs. 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
