XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT XXX 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Small Card, Silent Fan and a vast improvement over my last card. Installed in 2 minutes no issues runs great and fast. Its not a 8800 but it wasn't suppose to be. If you're moving up and want a decent card for the price go for it.

Cons: None at this point. All is well.

Overall Review: Being I actually own this card not like the other 4 people that posted here. I would suggest they purchase it and run it before they pass judgement on it. All in all running fine on XP, 2.8 media unit. Runs all of my dx9 games at a great frame rates including BF2, 2142 and COH.

Pros: While working, this was a very nice, quiet card.

Cons: Problem started when computer would inexplicably wake from suspend. Also, loud noises would occasionally come from the case (caps popping). Happened 3 times in one week.

Card failed after a little over 2 years of light use. Due to Double Lifetime warranty not being honored (unless the card was registered within 30 days of purchase), I'll have to fix it myself.

Card has a compliment of Sacon FZ capacitors that will fail after about 2 years of light use, more if heavily used. Before calling themselves Sacon they were SCG. Beware of Sacon FZ, XFX uses them heavily in their mid range and low end cards. The SMD (surface mount) caps are not SaconFZ, and can be left alone.

They look like polymer caps, but do not be deceived, they are electrolytic, through hole type, even.

Overall Review: The bad caps are typically light blue with a K on top. They are:
CX45/46 CX19/21 CX22/25
FZ76 1500 (replace with Panasonic FM EEU-FM0J152) 3 of these

CX1/6
FZ76 1000 (replace with Panasonic FM EEU-FM0J102) 1 of these

CX15/42 CX11/40 CX9/44
FZ79 470 (replace with Panasonic FM EEU-FM1C471L) 3 of these

(Note the Panasonic caps are taller by 2.5 cm and wider by 2 cm).
