Pros: Ordered this card to replace my old GeForce 7800 GTX, and there are some pretty big differences. Installation was simple, pulled the old 7800 out, popped this baby in, booted up, installed drivers, and one more reboot, everything was fine.

Cons: None whatsoever, this card is simply amazing.

Overall Review: The card's fan is rather loud at start up, but man, does it get quiet after that. Old card ran at a constant 58C, idle, stressed, whatever. (I know, pretty warm.) This baby runs a clean 48C always. Love it.

Pros: CoD4 max settings - 4x AA FPS 120 - 80 (does drop below 60 in heavy action) Temps with stock cooling: Idle - 44C Load (min settings) - 56C Load (max settings) - 61C Fan control and OCing are easy. Fits well in a basic ATX case.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I'm still not using this card to it's fullest. I have an EVGA 680i mobo which does not have a PCIe2 slot. This was an unwanted upgrade. It replaced my EVGA 7950 GT KO SLi set up when a buddy of mine spilled his beer on the cards while the case was open. Overall, I'm very pleased. This one card does better than my SLi cards. One less card is less heat and less watts. As for other people who had trouble installing the drivers, I have NO idea why. I went to the Nvidia site, I downloaded the newest 9 series drivers. I uninstalled my Nvidia display drivers. I shut my rig down, pulled the 2 7950s, installed my 9600, booted the system...told XP to go...well, to leave me alone, I'd take care of the new hardware...and simply clicked on the new drivers I had just saved to my desktop. One more reboot later, and the install was complete. No problems what-so-ever. As for the reported "loud" fan on this model card, I dropped one card, so this actually sounds quiet to me.

Pros: Got this card with my new system build. Together with my quad-core 2.83 ghz card, and my 8 gigs of ram, it will run Crysis on high settings! Yes, this mid-level card will run Crysis on high!

Cons: Crysis settings go to very-high. Won't measure up to that

Overall Review: Extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Pros: Fast, cheap, plays lots of modern day games with high frame rates for a fraction of the cost of some of the high end cards.

Cons: Not the fastest or most powerful card in the world, but for the price it's not really a con.

Overall Review: SLI two of em for even more power.

Pros: The card was a nice upgrade to the 8400's I was using before. I was able to amp up graphics in the games I was playing and all was nice.

Cons: I must have gotten a bad card, which is unusual for EVGA, I've used them forever, but at 31 days, the card decided to show me a black screen with white lines. It was not due to drivers or north bridge, Just a shot card.

Overall Review: RMA Step'd Up to get the 9800 for 20 bucks. Figure instead of dealing with a normal RMA to get a potential failure back, I would just Step Up the product and get a little more bang.

Pros: easy install, works great.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: re: newegg shipping - i got it the next day (and the shipping was free). regarding where it was left on delivery (another reviewer complained) - newegg has no control over that - blame UPS/USPS/Fedex regarding won't fit my case (another reviewer): it fit in my smallish Gateway oaky. if this card won't fit your case, no mid-high end card will. blame the tower designer/mfg - not EVGA

Pros: easy install, works great.

Cons: none so far

Pros: Quiet, does what I expect. Outputs beautifully to two 21" LCDs at 1600x1200 each.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: After buying a cheaper dual dvi pci-e video card and having the fan sound like an airplane hanger, I focused on reviews that talked about the volume of the video card's fan. This one does the trick. I only hear the fan spin up at boot time of my Linux system. Afterwards, it spins down to quiet operation. Otherwise, the fan is unnoticeable next to my also-quiet CPU fan of my Opteron 2218.
