Pros: I went from the other brand to this audio card. I was having all sorts of problems in Vista with my old card. Installed this puppy and everything is flawless. Sound is really awesome. Works great for games and music, movies, etc. No driver issues at all. It does everything I need a sound card to do, and gives me no problems.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Thanks to this card, I'm a big fan of HT Omega, and will buy their stuff in the future.

Pros: I originally purchased a 7800GTX through Newegg, then got this card through the eVGA Step-up program. eVGA's customer service was great, if you ask me. Very friendly and easy to work with. This card destroys every game I have. NFS:MW, CS:S, HL2, FEAR, etc. This thing smokes 'em all playing in 1280x1024 with 8AF and 4AA. It also runs really cool in my rig. 39C idle and I've never seen it go above 60C under load. My old 7800GTX would soar into the 70C+ range. And on top of that, it's quieter than my 7800GTX! Added bonus.

Cons: Stability. This thing has caused hard lock-ups in several of my games. It even caused one hard lock-up during normal Windows operations. All of these lockups cause the system to crash, or cause the screen to go completely AWOL, forcing me to re-boot the system. Perhaps the biggest Con - I can't run 3dMark06. It locks up EVERY single time I try and run it. System crashes. I have also had several non-crash lockups during CS:S where the screen will freeze for 10-15 seconds, then go back to normal. My rig was rock-solid with my 7800GTX. I can't remember a single time I had a game lock-up or crash. I have tried everything, including 3 different Nvidia drivers. Nothing fixes the problems.

Overall Review: I'm to the point where I'm probably going to have to RMA this thing with eVGA. I hope their customer service continues to impress me. I remember reading about some of the 7900GTX's having problems before I got this one, and I thought "I'm sure mine will work just fine." Well, I was wrong. My system: AMD 4400+ ASUS SLI Premium eVGA 7900GTX EGS Corsair XMS 2x1gb Creative X-Fi Fortron 600 NewEgg rocks.

Pros: I purchased this card when the price dropped, and it became a great deal. This card blows away all the 4870s, and all the old 260s. In fact, it's pretty much comparable to most of the 280's I've seen. The only single card that significantly outperforms this thing is the gtx285, and right now it costs almost 80% more! Does it offer 80% more performance? No way... Drivers seem flawless so far. eVGA Precision is also a nice little program. So far I've only played Mirror's Edge and L4D, but they both ran wonderfully on maximum settings at 1680x1050. I haven't tried to overclock yet, don't need to. However, I hear of several people who have these cards running the core clock at 700-750. Probably need to crank up the fan for that... I have my fan on auto, the card idles at 51C, and peaks around 72C. I think that's fair.

Cons: It is big, but as long as you have a full-size case it's no problem. Mine fit just fine. Can't really think of any cons, was a breeze to set up and install...

Overall Review: I've been buying eVGA for almost 5 years now. Very happy with the products and service, hope they keep it up.

Pros: These fans are great. Seem to move quite a bit of air, and they are very quiet. Good buy.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Pros: Very sturdy construction. Nice looking. Keys are a nice mix between laptop-style and standard. It's fully customizable, has pretty much everything I need. I had a media keyboard before this with endless buttons... but realized I never really used most of them. They just got in the way. Oh, and the price on this is pretty reasonable...

Cons: The keys aren't raised like most keyboard I am used to. It took some getting used to for typing. It's great in games because it feels responsive, but takes some getting used to when typing.

Overall Review: My first Razer product, seems they make some pretty decent stuff.

Pros: I actually have the XtremeMusic card with I/O Port, but I believe it's the same card/hardware. This is the new version. Like a lot of other people, this card worked fine for me in XP. I used it for games, my home theater, etc. and had only minor problems. I was kinda upset that I had to buy the extra I/O Port in order to have my home theater and Mic hooked up at the same time, but whatever... Then I installed Vista...

Cons: Under Vista, a different story. I am running Vista 64 with SP1. The computer is actually stable and smooth under Vista, but this sound card has a host of problems. I don't think it sounds as good running my Home Theatre, but that is just my subjective opinion. During games, however, the card has all kinds of problems. I've tried installing all the latest drivers, re-installing them, all the Creative bloatware, newest OPenAL, toggling EAX, everything... I get sound "popping" during games, and that's not even the worst of it. The popping occassionally would be bearable. But sometimes after the "pop" the sound will just be terrible. Certain sounds no longer play, and the sounds I do have are the wrong pitch, have a horrible echo, etc. Just sounds awful. The only way to fix it is to quit the game and re-switch the sound in the Console Launcher. What a pain. And it does this with every game I own.

Overall Review: I was really hoping the newest drivers from Creative that were released on July 30th would fix the problem. I completely cleaned the old ones from my system, installed the new ones, and... same exact problem. I'm giving up on this card. Done with it.
