Extreme 7800GT Dual just plain rocks!!

ASUS Dual GeForce 7800GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card EN7800GT DUAL/2DHTV/512M

Pros: This is probably the most powerful Graphics Card you can buy! I run Battlefield 2 at HIGH 1600x1200 4xAA 16AF, and it benchmarks at 83.1fps on Karkand! I run an AMD 4000+ Venice CPU, ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, 2GB PQI DDR4 PC3200 RAM, WD 74GB Raptor Hard Drive! I am definitely the center of attention at my LAN Parties with my rig, everyone wants to peek through the window to see this monstrous Card!

Cons: All the Drivers I've tried [77.77, 81.91, 81.98, 82.11] have been very glitchy. I used the AC Adapter with it at first, and experienced crashes, and reboots wile playing BF2. So I got an Ultra Xconnect2 550wt PSU, and I now power it through my PSU, and it works great! This Card RUNS HOT [60-65c load] so make sure you have good cooling!

Overall Review: This is an excellent Card, and you will be the envy of everyone you know because of how AWESOME this Card looks! I am very happy with it, but it is definitely "bleeding edge", and you will no doubt have a few problems, so be prepared to fight it!

Steer clear of this one!

Pros: This card has looks going for it, that is absolutely it.

Cons: Too many to name! It is incredibly unstable, and gives LESS performance than two 7800GT's! I have battled this Card since 1/1/06, and I am soarly dissapointed with it! I have random desktop, and in-game crashes. I have all sorts of artifacts, and glitches when its not crashing repeatedly! I have tried all the nVidia Drivers seperately, and reformatted twice, with absolutely no luck!

Overall Review: Save yourself $xxx+, and get an X1900 XTX, or wait for the 7900GT/GTX's! Don't waste $xxx like I did on this poor excuse for a graphics card!
