Amazing

EVGA 512-P3-N802-A1 GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 512-P3-N802-A1 GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Price vs. Performance. This card is amazing. The crown jewel to my recent PC build I bought this card after having to RMA the PNY version of the 8800GT. I could not be happier with my choice. It runs Bioshock, COD4, Crysis, Everquest 2 and Unreal Tournament 3 like a champ. Overclocked after the first week to 700 MHZ and it never goes above 55C @ 50% fan speed, even in Crysis (1680x1050 @ High, 2x AA).

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Great support website from EVGA. It's nice to buy a product and visit their website to find a HUGE active community

Dissapointed

PNY VCG88512GXPB GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Price:Performance ratio (assuming it works)

Cons: I received the card on a Friday. I installed it and it worked great. That Saturday I booted up my machine to find artifacts all over the place. Troubleshooting the issue found the problem to be bad video RAM. RMA'd the card for replacement and was notified by Newegg that it was out of stock and a full refund would be given.

Overall Review: I don't blame PNY or Newegg for the issues I had, these things happen, but it's doubtfull I'll buy PNY again if other options are available. Overall it was a waste of time and effort. My new build is still waiting on a video card.
