Rating + 5 Great bang for the buck


Pros: Plays Crysis on high settings(not max). Low power consumption (300w PSU).

If your not a huge gamer(it will play anything I have thrown at it but not at Max settings) this card will suit you fine.

I have used XFX products for years and NEVER been disappointed

Cons: none for the price range.

Other Thoughts: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8ghz. 3gb DDR2 667. XFX GeForce 9500gt, 300w PSU.

I am running dual 19" LCD's with this card and have NO issues at all with it.

Rating + 5 Great Card for the price !


Pros: Great price for the card, very durable and cannot beat the lifetime gurnatee on this card. Plays crysis the most system demanding game smoothly!

Cons: Vista score of 5.1 out of 5.9 but who really reads into Microsoft's own operating system benchmark!

Other Thoughts: Easy to install , Vista and Xp both installed drivers automatically without any hassle.

Rating + 1 Flaky Card


Pros: Based on the reviews seemed like a good choice - i.e. enough power for the right price.

Cons: Building a system for my son. I only decided last night (July 2) that the card was SURELY the reason why Windows 7 RC1 AND Ubuntu 9.04 would freeze after (at most) 10 minutes. At first I thought maybe the video driver was bad. I got the June 18 driver from NVIDIA. Still problems. Not sure if system memory or motherboard or processor or video. Memtest showed system memory okay. Finally found an OLD Trident VGA card and it works (well grainy 800x600) with Windows 7 !! The XFX GeForce 9500 GT is defective and I hope XFX will replace it. I just missed the Newegg "return by 30 days deadline" - tomorrow is July 4 :-(

Other Thoughts: Be sure to troubleshoot your system well before your 30 Newegg return days are up. Will see what XFX does....

Pros: Great Value, Plays Blu-Ray without a hitch, fast, doesn't heat excessively

Cons: None I could find. I have had this card for 4 months. Now I'm buying a second one.

Other Thoughts: Due to motherboard and hard drive dying I had to rebuild my system. This time around I installed Windows 7 RC1 and this card works right off the bat. On the nVidia website I could find a driver update (last night) very easily (not sure why someone else in the reviews had a problem finding it, it was linked from nVidia's home page). I played Blu-Ray while it was installed on my old motherboard and the clarity was excellent without a glitch. Great value for the money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Pros: Great card, bought it for the PC at work to run dual monitors on DVI. Big improvement over the 8500gt that was in it. Plays Far Cry 2 at decent framerates. We mostly play Battlefield 2 on it and it runs really smooth with everything on high. Movies look good too.

Cons: Work PC does not have SLi motherboard :(

Other Thoughts: Great card for the price!

Rating + 5 Impressed


Pros: Amazing clarity, easy installation, and 70+ fps in most games.

Cons: The drivers were difficult to find on the website. But that's hardly a con.

Other Thoughts: Xfx lifetime warranty can't be beat, just make sure you register it. Oh, and don't listen to all the crybabies saying the fan is loud, it's quiet I can't even hear it. (P.S. I ordered next day air shipping and it took 3 days to get to me... even though it processed and shipped the same day, not very happy with Newegg considering it cost me $25.)

Rating + 5 amazing


Pros: wow where to start.. I bought 2 of these cards to sli with my evga 750i sli motherboard. And when running 2 of these cards it runs Crisis on all high settings,not very high but high which is still amazing to me. In CSS Im running 236 fps lol(no thats not a typo). So yeah Id say get a different card if youre not sliíng(cause of coarse there are better cards in this price range but not to sli. So if youre planning to SLI this is your best option in this price range. It plays anything I throw at it on high settings

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: it came with a driver cd but I decided to just download the drivers off of nvidia's website. And when I installed it everything messed up and went into what looked like a 256 color mode. But I restarted and reinstalled the driver package and everything worked just fine!! So if you run into this problem just restart and reinstall the driver. I hope this review helps and remember this is more of a budget sli card than a single video card if you plan on gaming with it.

Rating + 5 Does it's job


Pros: Will play most games on high settings, does not suck down electricity, runs cool and does not heat up the case, no power connectors to reduce air flow or clog up the case with cords, good warranty. Nice mid-range card for the money. Great for mid to low budget systems.

Cons: None really, does what I bought it for.

Other Thoughts: Would not overclock to much as it is just a standard card to show you what you have been missing. Up graded system from an AGP system and results are amazing.

Pros: This was what XFX sent me to replace my old burnt out GT 6600. (gotta love that xfx lifetime coverage!), Not much else to say, it is what it is. Good card for the price though

Cons: 256 bit memory would of be nicer but not avail in this series

Other Thoughts: XP3, Bio-Star 790-128M mobo, AMD 3 core 2.4 running at 2.9, 2 gig's of G-Skill DDR2 800, a Corsair 650 watt power supply, NZXT Apollo case and even though overclocked - avg. running temp is only 33C! - and only 52C using a 100% cpu load test for 1/2 hour!

Rating + 5 Worth every penny


Pros: Works with my 500W (12v at 16A rating) power supply. which is lower than what is supposedly required.

Cons: It doesn't come with a manual booklet. Just a cd, door hanger, and dvi-to-vga adapter.

Other Thoughts: I bought this card specifically to work with my hackintosh ideneb v1.4. I installed the NVinject 0.2.1 at setup and works flawlessly. QE was automatically enabled. What i thought 1440x900 was my monitor's max resolution, this card boosted me up to 1680x1050. To me that's a big difference on a 20.1" monitor.

Pros: Price was awesome. Drivers loaded from the disc w/o a hitch and fired right up. Incredible performance upgrade compared to my 7300. Opend up a whole new world of gaming for me. Bought, played and became addicted to Crysis because now I can run it.

Cons: Little big for my tower but with some wiggling went right in. Newegg took longer to get it here than other reviews mentioned but I was waiting with baited breath so that may have had something to do with it. DO NOT order anything on a Thursday night or Friday if you want it there quick.

Rating + 5 Great board for low power systems.


Pros: Very Quiet, very low power consumption. Fits in a slimline case. My computer has a very small power supply and won't power a 9800GT. I took a chance on this card and while the box says that you need 400 watts and 18A on the 12V bus, my 180W PSU is capable of powering it. Raised my Vista performance rating from 3.0 to 5.3. I now have the computer that I wanted. The system is a little niosier than before, but still well within acceptable range.

Cons: Documentation/specs are generic and don't really match up with the board. There's a whole section in the quick install about the PCI-e connectors, and there aren't any... Also, it would be nice if the manufacturer had a slightly faster internet connection. Waiting 2.5 hrs to download the driver was a little much.

Other Thoughts: A good comprimise for limited space/low power systems. Newegg delivery was fast and the tracking told me exactly when to expect it. Thanks!

Rating + 2 Disappointing


Pros: Nice looking card, Great performance for the money, Fast shipping. No power connector was the main reason I bought it.

Cons: Card never worked in PCI Express 2.0 mode. It would hang my system with the infinite loop stop error in XP, even after upgrading the PSU. Another video card worked flawlessly in my system so it has to be this card.

Other Thoughts: XFX support offered many ideas to try to fix the problem, but ultimately I think it was defective. RMA'ing and getting a different, faster card.
Manufacturer Response:We are sorry to hear that this happened. Can you please email me your support ticket ID to neweggsupport@xfxforce.com so that I can review your case? Thank you.

Pros: this card attracted me because of it's low power consumption and higher specs than similar cards. i don't build systems anymore out of laziness but i do still buy my own video cards and this one works perfectly in my HP media center desktop. oh and this will play high end games like GTA 4 at least on medium settings. i haven't tried anything higher yet because the game already has memory leak issues for a lot of people so why tempt fate?

Pros: It wasn't very expensive. The packaging is nice.

Cons: Driver software CD was buggy from start. Card died same day of purchase and installation.

Other Thoughts: After installing it and an hour of use, the video signal to my monitor dropped. The vid card was faulty since I tested the mobo, cable, and monitor with separate hardware to check. Reading from all the reviews, I'm getting worried about customer service. I'm pretty sure I'll go with another brand now.

Rating + 5 Pretty Good


Pros: Plays the games I like on max settings with high fps. WoW, CS, Wc3:ftf

Cons: I was using 6200 integrated GPU, and when I put this in a got "out of freq. range" on the monitor, restarted into safe mode and got the same problem. Figured it was drivers. Ran it on integrated, and removed drivers, restarted, and then both cards gave me same error, even with safe mode. Using the 9500 I used "enable vga" which is availible from the F8 start up menu, and installed the new drivers, and now it works great.

Other Thoughts: This is a really great card. You don't buy a honda, and compare it to a lotus.

Rating + 5 Wonderful card


Pros: Not much time for games or have the cash to WASTE on a $300+ card. Yeah I said waste! But when I do play, I want them to work right and look good. This card is the answer. Temp runs at 55C with Crysis on High settings @ 30fps. Smooth play. Also have a PCI slot cooler above it and a case fan blowing across it. Doesn't require a bigger power supply. Breathed new life into Mechwarrior 3 + 4 too. (Those games work with Vista)

Cons: My kids wanna play games on my computer.

Other Thoughts: Register with XFX so you can take advantage of the warranty should you need it. It does happen. I did blow up an 8600GT and got it handled no problem.

Rating + 5 Nice Card


Pros: Great Card, this card plays as well as my 9800GT I have on my gaming computer. The great thing about this card is the power consumption, my 9800GT sucks power while this card runs fine on a 350 watts. The size of the card is considerably smaller than my 9800GT, fits nicely in my HP Pavilion.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Good card. Good price.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Does not need seperate power connection from PSU.

Rating + 5 wonderful


Pros: This is a great buy. I upgraded from an older than dirt Powercolor ATI radeon x700 and, of course, the difference is huge. The reason I bought this is I have a Dell Dimension e521 which means i have a backwards atx mobo (you open the right side of the case if facing the front, as opposed to the left). This leaves only 1 slot for a gfx card. This card fit perfectly.

Cons: My only problem is it's only 128 bit instead of 256. All in all not really a con because I knew that before buying and i didn't want to have to upgrade my psu.

Other Thoughts: Plays WoW, Spore, and Dawn of War on highest settings quite well. It's quiet, affordable, and pretty solid for a budget card. If that's the market you're in this is the card to get.

some people just think its slow its becuz of their cpu or memory performance.

Rating + 5 SUPER CARD


Pros: Well this is one of the best graphics card i have used and i gatta tell you, i have used alot. my most powerfull card was a xfx 9800gt black edition (love xfx) and had to swish because my computer did not have over 450 watts and soo i ended up with this and i gatta tell you from a personal view there is no difference between this and 9800.

Cons: none for now probaly that i thought that the box was going to be bigger because the 9800 was like the size of my printer (lol)

Other Thoughts: well it runs great and its a good card for its price also this are my specs
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.9GHz

500Gb of hard drive

Rating + 5 Crisis


Pros: I just wanted to add that this card will play Crisis at all high settings, not very high but high settings. Crisis will automatically set the game at high if you select auto detect system hardware. Those of you that can only run Crisis on Medium just know that its not your graphics card its probably your processor or ram that is not good enough. People will say spend the extra $ on an 8800 or 9800 but they are not taking into account the possible cost of upgrading your power supply and/or chassis. This card is for ppl who want to upgrade from an 8600 or later, and do not want to make major upgrades.

Cons: none

Rating + 5 Perfect, at least for ME


Pros: Better than an Nvidia Quadro NVS 280. But thats not a real graphics card for games. I just wanted a nice cheap card under the $100 price that would let me run C&C RO3 on LOW in the correct speeds (30fps). This card BLEW me away when I played C&C on ULTRA HIGH (just wanted 30fps rating at low setting) with very minimal studder. More like I need more memory though, only sitting on 1g stock.

Cons: The SLI SPDIF connector is slightly crooked on the board, wont use SLI ever so it doesnt matter to me. Pink Memory Chips? All I have seen are black, are these cheap?

Other Thoughts: I had an Nvidia Quadro NVS 280. It didnt play anything good but at low settings (Multi-Display Card). I purchased this card and I am MAXED OUT with every game I have...like C&C ROT3, Nitto1320, Videos and Movies are quicker and the sound and video match up now. Cant wait to get Starcraft II

Rating + 4 Great for an inexpensive card


Pros: Easy install, Great upgrade card for someone who doesn't really have much in the way of a graphics processor-
plays wow from 30-60 FPS on med settings

Cons: 128 bit- it's odd how this is a 512 card and other 512 cards will blow this outta the water- but they are also twice the price and have more streams and prob they are 256 bit

Other Thoughts: Like i said- great card for being inexpensive and wanting to get a decent upgrade- have had 2 of these to SLI- but couldnt get SLI to work- alot of nvidia customers are having this issue too- they think it's the new drivers- but whateva-
other than that- no issues

Rating + 5 Nice


Pros: Good card, very good for budget machine. Almost as good as an 8800GT.

Cons: Bit interface is extremely low for a next gen card, but that accounts the cheap price for a 9 series card. :)

Other Thoughts: Anyone who is anyone will know that getting this from an 8800GT is bad! The bit interface is only 128, while the 8800GT is 256, a review said never trust numbers, well no, always trust numbers. Numbers is what matters on hardware. The bit interface tells you that the 8800GT is much better. But if you want budget this is a good card. But the 8800GT is about the same price. Or just shovel out an extra 50 - 100 for a good 9600GT.

Pros: Great mid-range card. This thing can run most anything you throw at it. I've run fallout 3, Crysis, Left 4 Dead on this guy without a hic-cup.

Cons: Like I said before, mid-range card. Not really a con if you know what your getting, but realize that this thing isn't gonna run Crysis at full capacity.

Rating + 5 My Best Option


Pros: Great option for me since I did not want to upgrade my power supply and was looking for something better then my stock dell brand 8600 gt which apparently only had a memory clock speed of 600 something mhz according to vista, and didn't have sli. Almost bought a low profile, but it actually fit into my dell inspiron 530 so thats always good. I think soon I will buy another and sli them together.

Cons: none, a really good deal for the budgeter.

Pros: This is a very stable, and fairly quick video card. It is a great card for a beginner. One thing I will say, is that it is capable of running Crysis on high settings. Not very high, but high. Overall its a great card, and I haven't had any problems from it yet.

Pros: My HTPC plays Blu-Ray discs on my LG GGC-H20L drive using PowerDVD 8 Ultra perfectly.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Previously had a Nvidia 8500GT in my HTPC which played DVDs/.AVI/.MKV OK but struggled with Blu-Ray (stutters and hangs). Popped in this 9500GT and the latest Nvidia reference drivers and away she went. No problems whatsoever now :)

Pros: Good if your looking ot make a HTPC or casual gaming machine. ex. (World of Warcraft, Sims 2, Spore, and Source based games.)

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: For the guy that thought it was only 1000MHz, I know it may say 1000MHz, but you need to rember that it is DDR meaning double data rate. so your 1000MHz is 2000MHz effective. Your card is fine.

Pros: Runs well out the box. Works on my low end psu! increased my Vista raing for gaming from a 4.7(7600 GT) to a 5.6!

Cons: Maybe, a issue with GPU memory speed!

Other Thoughts: On here it states 2000 Memory Clock. But when I looked at the Nvidea Control Panel on my computer it say 1000 MHz. I don't really know if that is the same thing I sure hope not. The GPU core is 600 MHz just like listed here.
