Pros: You have all seen the reviews and perfomance reports... For the price, the performance vs the 8800GT is very good. My system actually runs a couple degrees cooler since I have put this card in, probably because of the huge fan pushing air out the side vent. It runs BF2 and TF2 on high without any hitches... AMD 3700+ 939, A8N-SLI Premium, 2GB ram, Enermax 500W Liberty

Cons: It does get pretty hot during long periods of gaming but I haven't suffered from any instability or anything yet. I would recommend some good cooling for your case because this thing does kick out some eat. It's a pretty big card too. Make sure you will have clearance to fit this bad boy before you buy!

Overall Review: Again, I think this is a great deal at the price since the 8800GT's are either sold out or extremely overpriced. Yes it doesn't beat out the performance but it does come close and is much cheaper. I am interested in seeing the 256mb version of the GT's... Newegg got it to me on time in 3 days!
