Amazing card

EVGA 640-P2-N828-A3 GeForce 8800GTS KO Edition 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: I can play crysis on high, and some settings very high without to much fps drop at all. Very good buy for the money, and it comes with crysis so how can you go wrong.

Cons: Its a bit big so plan your case design out before you go throwing it in there.

Overall Review: Newegg says its coreclock is 540mhz and mine came at 576mhz and 900mhz on memory. Anyone else's saying the same? Plus I know I ordered the n828 not the n829 which comes at 576mhz, checked the order a few times to make sure it was right.

DOA I love this game!!

Pros: Pretty lights, it smells nice.

Cons: D.O.A. like most have said. Lights up pretty but no POST. Go look for a different brand and save yourself some trouble.

Overall Review: Does it come in on?

Just what I needed

Thermaltake Spedo Advance Package VI90001W2Z Black 0.8 mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Huge amount of room, very good air flow and allows for even more fans to be installed which is awesome but not needed. The cable management is great allows you to easily hide all the excess cables without interupting airflow.

Cons: Its heavy, but what do expect out of a full tower and yes the thermal casing for the graphics card can be a pain but its not impossible.

Overall Review: I would only recommend this case to somebody thats an enthusiast and wants a very clean looking case as well as roomy. I believe the average person wouldn't take advantage of all this case has to offer.

Pros: I bought this card to replace a 8800GTS 640MB, the fps difference isn't drastic, but what I noticed almost instantly is the picture quality. Along with that you pretty much get 4xAA for free as I like to say, with it on or off you won't notice a FPS difference, but the picture difference is very noticable. For a gamer that likes a good picture rather than bragging rights on how high your fps is get this card you won't be dissapointed.

Cons: This is the hottest running video card I have ever come across...but thats out of the box, no tweaking.

Overall Review: Like I said out of the box this thing runs hot. But after browsing through some forums I came across the fan speed at idle is only <19%. After some minor tweaking in CCC profile I changed the idle speed to 35% and have yet to see it go over 50C at idle now.
