This review is from: XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card PVT98WYDFU
Pros:
Works just fine! Will sometimes actually outperform my EVGA 9800GTX+ in Folding@Home for some reason, and adds 60% more fps to many games.
Also, this card is roughly 0.5" shorter than my EVGA, which worked great for me because my mid-tower is a little tight for space.
Cons:
Probably more because of SLI itself rather than this specific card, but for some reason Riv*Tun*r can no longer control the fan speeds on either card anymore. EVGA Precision works fine, so it's not a big deal.
Also, this card runs ~5-8C hotter than my EVGA even though the EVGA is in the primary slot. It's probably because the PCB is smaller. Still, temps aren't a big problem, even in my mid-tower.
Overall Review:
Temps ran pretty hot for the first few days, but then they dropped significantly. I guess the heatsink paste had to cure.
This card only uses one 6-pin PCI-E power plug.
