Pros: High FPS on very intense and interactive games. Reasonably low temps Great drivers Easy OC ability

Cons: Upgrade worth the price?

Overall Review: As expected of the 7x series, it's amazing. I have been waiting on this card for some time now. A week before I heard the rumors I was going to drop $$ on a 6800 ultra, from my 9600x-I'm glad I didn't. In my case, this was worth the upgrade; If you have a 6800 chip, you may not get the performance increase you want from dropping another $xxx on this. I have yet to OC this card, but have heard reports of this getting up to 495 core and 1.41 memory. BTW, FEAR and CoD2 never looked so good!

Pros: nt

Cons: Had driver issues when running Win2kServer (somewhat expected). Installed XPPro for OCing and haven't had any issues.

Overall Review: OCed this thing up to 490 with very small, but consistent visual issues in 3DMark05. Toned it back to 480 core and 1.4 memory and it runs every game I threw at it on high qual with no issues at all. The Overclock got me approx 10 more FPS and about 700 points on 3dmark05. Stock was just over 5100, after OC was over 5750 on an untuned-for-benchmarking PC. I'm sure I could get it close to 6k. *evil laugh* Temp never hit over 59C under load (though I do keep my side panel off). -- WinXP Pro P4 3.2ghz gigabyte 8knxp board 2 gig corsair pro series PC3200 80gb sata WD 7800GS OC(480/1.4)
