XFX GeForce 6800 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card PVT40KND

Pros: None

Cons: None

Overall Review: To the person a few reviews below who ran the card on a 2 ghz P4, your CPU is a HUGE bottleneck to this card. What kind of performance gain did you expect? Of course changing settings on the card isn't going to improve your framerate because your CPU is holding it up.

Great card. Throw it in an equally matched system and you'll get awesome results.

Pros: None

Cons: None

Overall Review: With my 2ghz p4 (533 bus) and 1 gig of ram, I'm getting 25-75 fps in CS:S. Source test is a constant 66 with 4xAA and 8x Anistropic filtering. What really 'grinds my gears' though, is how no matter what settings i put half life on.. low models, shadows, textures, the fps won't improve. Something with this card must be amiss. Card runs at 63-67 celsius, pretty hot... but sometimes it'll stay in the mid 40's all through hours of gaming, but be 70 celsius at other times for no apparent reason. A real weird card. If i were *you*, i'd spend 20 more dollars and take my chances with the eVGA 6800.
