BFG Tech GeForce 6800GS DirectX 9 BFGR68256GSOC 256MB 256-Bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card

Pros: I'm not much of an overclocker, but this product has been great. Some details: - Previous 9800 Pro score in 3DMark05 was 2795 (I only have a 2800+ Athlon 64) - 6800 GS score on initial install was 4532 - After opening extra pipe & shader (no visible problems after a week!) score rose to 5185. - After O/C to 400/1100 (haven't tried any higher), score rose to 5560. - Also bought the Arctic Cooling NV5 R3. Biggest benefit is excellent very low (nonexistent) fan noise. Temp is normally at 50C, up to 64C under heavy load. Only issue was the poor/misinformed instructions included with the Arctic Cooler, due to the same product being used for multiple Geforces. But figured it out after a short time and some other web sites. The Arctic Cooling web site was surprisely poor in this regard.

Cons: Apparantly I cannot submit a review unless there is something in this Cons section, so here it is.

Overall Review: Ordered on a Sunday, received on a Thursday. Nothing but praise for BFG and Newegg on this one.

Pros: Insane processing for a "low-end" AGP card, very reasonable price, fan keeps it cool and not too loud. Can run NFSMW faster than my monitor can support.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Upgraded from a standard Radeon 9800, and this thing just dominates it. 256/256 interface and 12 pixel pipelines is just sweet over the 128/128 and 4 from before. Plus the clock speeds are more than twice as high. Gave new life to my 2003 XPS.

Pros: Great card, incredible graphics! Easy install, just make sure to download the latest drivers from NVIDIA instead of using the ones off the CD. Card runs quite cool; I am able to crank up all the settings on Battlefield 2, Tiberium Wars, etc… If you still have a AGP slot and NOT a PCI Express, this is the why to go! With a data rate of 36.8GB a second and GDDR3 Ram is has great speed.

Cons: Just make sure you have AT LEAST a 350 watt power supply… and good air flow in your computer case. Since the card can be over clocked I recommended downloading a video card heat monitor program so you can keep a watch on the temperature of your card at all times.

Overall Review: Great buy! Get yours today!

Pros: Best card on the market (under $200). Very happy with performance and quality of card/graphics. Makes subpar machine run battlefield 2 like a dream. BUY THIS CARD!!!

Cons: notta

Overall Review: If you are looking for quality coupled with performance on a budget the 6800GS is the answer. I didn't want to spend $300 or more on a video card. This video card is so nice that i feeled i ripped somebody off! Make sure you have a stout power supply.

Pros: Great Card, Unlocked 16/6 with no artifacts and overclocked 400/110 with ease.

Cons: Runs hot 55c idle, 80c max. But has no artifacts with that heat, so I could care less.

Overall Review: Great card for the money, I paid around 170 with shipping and I can run all games 1028x768 with 4x aa and 8xAn silky smooth with my amd64 3000+ and 1 Gig ram.

Pros: The card performed super for me and even overclocked some.. 415mhz core and 1135mhz memory. Runs all my games smooth and even does fairly well in Oblivion with max detail settings, I just turned off grass and shadows and have what I consider a great looking view and smooth game play even outside.

Cons: The card idle's really warm for me, 57-60c and would hit 80c underload sometimes. This was before overclocking. I have 5x 80mm fans and 1x 120mm fan so make sure your case has air flow or else this will be one hot card!

Overall Review: The 7800GS is not really that much faster and it cost $xxx+ so you decide.

Pros: great price!! i upgraded from a FX5500 and of course this blows that away by a factor of 10. BF2 runs 1280x1024 high before I overclocked to 398/1090. No temp problems other people reported -- I haven't hit 70c yet, but that may change when summer comes.

Cons: the drivers from nvidia's site didn't work, I had to use beta drivers or be forced to use what came on the install disc (eww)

Overall Review: Wasn't expecting this much card. Great overclocking abilities I still haven't even tried to unlock 16 pipes, don't see the need. Glad I went with this rather than ditching AGP and spending alot more money making a PCI-E system.

Pros: Went from x1600 pro to this, all pipes unlocked with rt. 22 total pipes, cant beat it for the price runs great at 1440x900 88fps avg in CSS.

Cons: AGP FTL!

Overall Review: Good card for the money and to update old systems, will buy more and recommend to others.
