This review is from: EVGA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 512-P3-N801-AR
Pros:
Scooped this card up as part of a massive upgrade back in grad school. Used it to play the tar out of Left 4 Dead, both Mass Effects, Fallout 3, and Arkham Asylum, and it was gorgeous, though could never play at the highest resolutions. Was working nicely on Dead Island up until it finally burnt out watching a DVD.
Cons:
Couldn't really overclock it, the temp was at upper limits as it was. Also the fan was crazy noisy, and would do strange start-ups and stops a year back. Some of the newest games (Dead Island) had mediocre frame rates
Overall Review:
My gawrsh, 3 years of use out of what was a mid-level card in 2008/2009, I couldn't be happier. It's death was bittersweet, now I can upgrade!
