Pros: First of all Newegg was great like usually so 5 Eggs there. Now for the actuall card. Iv owned PNY since Geforce 2's there cards have always been great to me and this one is no execption. My 8800GTS runs every single game i throw @ it without no problem or hicup @ all, im playing BF2142 @ 1280x1024 with High quality details and 16xAF 16xAA and im getting around 50 FPS "cough overkill" :)
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: The card isnt noisy @ all people say they can hear these video card's and there noisy but i cant hear anything @ all only if the fan is @ 100% speed. Also i am able to overclock this thing to 670/1000 way beyond 8800GTX speeds. If you want to save yourself $150 get the 8800GTS. PNY cards are fanatastic they may only have a 5 year warrenty over liftime from other company's but there card always overclock great for me, and you can beat the price from PNY
