Comments: These are decent cards. It's not always the card that's bad. Sometimes the system is a piece. Sorry the other posters broke, but it can lead me to believe the setting probably had been tinkered with or handled in a abusing manner. I didnt realize really what i was missing out on till i upgraded my MoBo from Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe to Asus 990 fx Sabertooth. The card runs better than ever. But as I said no DX11 support =[

Pros: Ran all the games I wanted to.

Cons: Runs hot. I mean extremely hot. After downloading a new driver the whole thing crashed and burned. I rated this thing a 4 star last time because of the black screen of death. The Black screen of death repeated itself since then but i dealt with it by underclocking the card. Now the card was hurled into the trash as it finally did one serious overheat. Was going at nearly 90 degrees celsius. After this driver update my card would not stay cool even if i set the clocks to its minimum. It was idling at 65(ish) celsius with fan blowing 100% and underclocked as much as I could. I suppose it's my fault, appearently newer drivers are not working with this video card. But it also managed to destroy my hard drive after burning up so I ended up with 2 dead pieces.

Other Thoughts: After owning this card for about a year and a half, going through 2 of them... dealing with black screens of death, not being able to use the card to its full potential, it utterly destroyed itself and my hard drive with it because of a bad shutoff or something... this card gets 1. I take back my 4 i rated this product last time! Upgraded to a N250 GTS from MSI, their customer service seems alot... better, and more english... Least now I can understand the person that is trying to help solve my problems. Besides all these unlucky occurrences though, it still ran my games great and it was cheap so I guess i got my moneys worth

Pros: You get to have a new one every 6 month

Cons: Shipping costs to get a new one.

Other Thoughts: On my third one already. Tends to break on average every half a year. Tech support is pretty good, but can get annoying at times. (They do not seem to get it that power supplies do not come with 26A 12V rails, there is no need to have 312W on a single wire - it's more efficient to have multiple 12V rails at 18A. If PNY9600GT blank screens randomly and PNY9800GT does not, it's not my chipset drivers). If you patient enough to deal with ignorance of customer service agents, service is excellent. Bought one on Newegg mail it out from London to France and got a replacement in two weeks.

Pros: It will play most games, like Assassins Creed, and Crysis on Medium setting at a good fps rate, and it will play games like Grid, or Demigod on high settings at a good fps rate.

Back when I got it, it cost around $200, so for around $80 its a real good deal. But now for $200 you can get a card a lot better. ^_^

Cons: This card can get a little toasty, but I never had any problems of games crashing or anything like that.

It requires pretty powerful rails.. at 12v it needs a current of 26A.. My power supply is only like 20A, and it seems to work ok.

Pros: Decent Performance at a good price

Cons: Doesn't work with latest Nvidia drivers version 185.85 or later - no video. Older driver versions work ok.

Other Thoughts: System:
O/S Win XP Pro SP3
MOBO - Foxconn Blooodrage
3GB Memory

Pros: It is a very powerful card for its price and can run all my games at good frame rates compared to my 8500 GT.

Cons: It can get really hot sometimes when I'm playing a really high end game like Call of Duty. My hangs around 100-105 F with decent case cooling.

Other Thoughts: All it needs it to get an aftermarket cooler and you'll be ok. Planning to runs these in SLI and to get a PCI slot cooler

Pros: Decent performance for the price when it's not overheating.

Cons: Overheats, even under medium load (WoW, etc.). Can't play TF2 for more than 10 minutes. Stock cooling is terrible. I underclocked it to about 75% of what it normally runs at and it *still* can't keep itself cool. The Icing on the cake is PNY's terrible customer support.

Other Thoughts: Stay away from the 9600GTs in general. Many people seem to have issues with these cards.

Pros: Capable of good performance on the graphics, but that's what you'd expect for two 9600 GTs.

Cons: Unacceptable stock cooling. Even with the fan speed at maximum and UNDER clocking this card will lock under stress testing on stock cooling. Have two of them and each will do it. Not reference PCB design so be careful adding a cooling block that cools the RAMs as well.

Other Thoughts: Low cost of card outweighed by necessity of upgrading the cooling. Do not recommend this product.
