Most Favorable Review
EVGA 512-P3-N845-AR GeForce 8800GTS (G92) KO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Amazing piece of hardware! I currently have one, with another to match it on the way. My rig is used mainly for gaming and this card delivers. I upgraded from an EVGA 8800 GT, and the step up was noticeable immediately. I run Age of Conan on maxed settings without a hitch. I stay 40-50fps in public areas, and jump to 130+fps in solo instances. The price of this card alone is less expensive new, than what EVGA is asking for their step up program from my old 8800GT-OC to my second 8800GTS-KO. My first time buying fron the Egg, and most definitely not my last!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: It is indeed a juggernaut-sized card. That in addition to running warm, be sure you have adequate cooling and space around it. My current build is EVGA 780i SLI Mobo / Intel Q9300 2.5ghz processor / 500gb SATA HD's / OCZ 4GB (2x2gb)SLI-Ready DDR2 800 memory / 8800GTS 512mb KO-Ed (soon to be a pair of the same card) / Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer.

Awesome Card

Pros: Outstanding soundcard! I upgraded from an Audigy2 to this and the change is immense. I currently use Razer HP-1 Gaming Headphones and they sound amazing with this card. It feels like I have a set of 7.1 speakers strapped to my head. Provides a vast of quality sound from loud explosions, to even the soft rustle of foliage in AoC. I'm pleased.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I would have liked to have had another satellite add-in for the front of my rig to allow easier access to plug in my headphones or switch to speakers. This is just personal preference though.
