A great card.......Faster and cooler than a 9800GTX.

Pros: Nice O/C, custom cooler, custom 3-phase power system, 1GB of DDR3.
Cons: Would have liked a better game than Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
Overall Review: For those who don't know, this card beats a 9800GTX. A 9800GTX uses the same G92 core as the 8800GTS 512 and the 8800GT. A 9800GTX is clocked @ 675/1675/2200 whereas this card is clocked @ 730/1825/2100. The memory bandwidth is 100mhz less but it still easily beats a 9800GTX @ it's stock settings. I am running this card on a E8400, ASUS P5K Premium, 4GB DDR2 800, 2X320GB SATAII drives in RAID0, Vista Home Premium x64. Also, Cookie monster, Palit makes the cards for Gainward......though I too would prefer Gainwards Black Heatsink, but then again the Palit matches perfectly with my Crucial Ballistix.
