ASUS GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card EN8800GT/G/HTDP/512M

Pros: This thing is awesome. Asus also includes an overclocking utility which probably explains why it comes with a big fan and heatsink. The card runs nice, cool and quiet. I personally like the fact that this card comes with default speeds, but its nice knowing I have the option to OC if i want to.

Cons: Fan is kinda big and it might not leave alot room for airflow if you decide to SLI.

Overall Review: Newegg is awesome, with standard ground shipping, the card arrived 1 day after i placed the order! (I live in Vegas)

Pros: "Semi-aftermarket" cooler (ASUS claims it runs 7C cooler, and it does), cheap after rebate, easy to use software although some may not like it, I do.

Cons: Very big in my Antec 900, have some cords running over it from the PSU, but that's my fault :)

Overall Review: I've never been one to give long reviews. Overall great card. Runs all current games on max settings flawlessly (except Crysis of course, but I can run it at around 30 fps with everything turned to High). In my system mixed with an e7200 and a Gigabyte EP35-D3SL mobo w/ 2 gigs of Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400 ram. Have yet to OC anything yet because I'm waiting for the F5 bios update from Gigabyte.

Pros: The smart doctor give you temperatures (SO STOP SAYING IT DOESN'T HAVE A TEMP SETTING!) 30$ rebate on em + newegg price break made it cheaper than some of the 8600s OC software in the box. Fits nicely for me. (seems taller than most but maybe an inch shorter than EVGA)

Cons: I didn't see the improvement I was expecting. +20 in the source video test over my 6600. It runs what I think is hot at stock (67-70 in game, 60-63 idle) I don't like that hot of an idle especially when its so close to so many cables in my case cause of its massive footprint. The PCI-e power cord is right on the end so the long card + that is a challenge. Go slow when installing I know you are excited but a busted card isn't gonna help.

Overall Review: I'd do it again and I'll probably end up throwin it a new dual core rig (its in a 939 rig on vista 64-bit home). The price was right and can't say I'm too disappointed I justed dreamed way too big for it.

Pros: Fast card that installed without a hitch. As usual, Newegg shipped extremely fast. The SmartDoctor overclocking software supplied with the card works great. I overclocked the heck out of it and GPU temps stayed relatively cool and and the card is quiet.

Cons: The card is a little long but it fit on my micro atx board, though I do have it in a mid tower case.

Overall Review: Like the previous reviewer said, the card DOES have a GPU sensor and the SmartDoctor software reads it just fine. Some overclocking software has a problem reading non stock cooling set ups like this one. Use the supplied overclocking software and you'll be fine.

Pros: Performs great! Portal is smooth as butter at 1680x1050 with settings maxed out. The card itself looks nice too. The bundled stuff like the cd case was cool too. Seems to be working fine on my 500w PSU with only 22a on the single 12v rail.

Cons: None so far. I had one problem but it's just a driver issue, which Nvidia seems to have some trouble with here and there.

Overall Review: I had heard some bad stuff about the packaged utilities and drivers, so I didn't even bother with em. Didn't need them anyway, and all is well without them. Card fit just right in my Smilodon case, which is an ATX tower. If you have something smaller you may need to check to see if it'll fit.

Pros: Fantastic card. Hasn't been slowed down by anything yet. The fan is completely silent. No noise at all. Can't say anything bad about it.

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: If you're tight on room, a heads up that the card hangs over the edge of the microATX motherboard by about an inch. I have about 4-5" clearance past my board so it wasn't an issue for me, but might be for some.

Pros: Fast, inexpensive, quiet, effective cooling, second slot available for cabled ports etc.

Cons: Long, requires well-ventilated case, requires proprietary temperature monitor software

Overall Review: ASUS chose to go its own way in the cooling for this card; instead of the typical two-slot card with a blower that sends hot air outside the case, they used a large heat sink and fan that keeps the hot air inside. On the plus side, this cooler is much quieter than most blowers. The card only occupies one slot cover position; the large fan precludes putting most cards in the adjacent slot, but it can be used for the cable headers for USB ports, S/PDIF I/O, or other things on some motherboards or expansion cards. On the downside, dumping the hot air inside the case means that case ventilation is more important; this card will serve best in a roomy system with ample airflow. The use of a non-reference-design cooler means that the standard NVidia temperature monitor software won't work; you have to use the Smart Doctor software provided with the card, or other software that has been modified. Aside from that, it's an 8800GT; good performance at an excellent price.

Pros: price, quiet fan, impressive performance

Cons: card is 50% larger than the 7600GT it replaced, rebate requires online registration in addition to the snail-mail part

Overall Review: I bought this card to play Mass Effect, which it plays on high settings at 1680 x 1050, my monitor's native resolution. Has no issue with the lighting effects and all of those highly detailed textures. Probably not the best game benchmark there, but it looks fantastic to my inexpert eyes. Frame rates are seamless no matter how busy things get onscreen. Periodic stuttering is probably the result of the slow 533 mHz RAM that came with my cheap HP Pavilion computer. Besides the very satisfactory performance, there is the matter of the card's physical size--it is MUCH larger than my 7600GT. It was not a simple matter of pulling the old card and tossing in the new one. I decided to yank the winmodem that was hogging the bottommost PCI slot, move my Razer soundcard into that one, and then leave a slot free next to the single PCI-E slot to facilitate cooling. Despite the clutter in there and hours of gaming, temps haven't climbed out of the high 50's. An auspicious beginning.
