Pros: It had alot to offer and had alot of promise coming out the shoot. Maybe if and when they come up with a fix this card might be worth it. It's all manufacturers so appears to be with many 9600 GT cores.

Cons: Same as other users have mentioned. I got the black screen and then my monitor would go into sleep mode. Only way to do anything was to hit restart button. This is a widely known problem with the new Geforce 9600 GT's and it's not just limited to this model or brand. It appears to be a problem with Nvidia and not the card manufacturers. Wish this wasn't my first time buying an EVGA card I heard nothing but good things about this company.

Overall Review: When this card was performing as advertised it was really good. But when that black screen comes and you have to reboot it just got old real quick. There was a 13 page thread on EVGA's website in the community form about this exact problem. There really isn't a fix and getting a different card that was tested by EVGA and said to be fine still had the same results. I spent the same amount of money with the discount and a $30 mail in rebate and bought the MSI Geforce 8800GT OC. Hoping for better results this time around.
