PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card VCGGTS2501LXPB
PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card VCGGTS2501LXPB

Pros: * Runs Skyrim smoothly on Ultra settings (with 4xAA and 8xAF at 1680x1050) * Blows through any Source games * Supports dual monitors like a dream * Was packaged well * Came with necessary (and possibly unnecessary) adapters—2-molex to 6-pin power converter, DVI to HDMI converter, DVI to VGA converter, and what I assume is an SLI bridge cable.

Cons: * Drivers on the CD are old, but then again the card is an older model. New drivers are available from Nvidia online. * Box had an expired offer for a free movie, but Newegg didn't say anything about it, so I didn't lose out on anything I expected. * Instructions are generic to many or all PNY Nvidia cards, so you have to make a few assumptions

Overall Review: * I've still got to test how it does with my Spyder3 calibration device and its software suite. * FANTASTIC upgrade from my old Radeon HD 3650 * It's a long card. It comes half an inch from the back of my HDD in a full-size ATX tower case.
