EVGA GeForce 9800 GT DirectX 10 512-P3-N973-TR 512MB 256-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Quiet card and solid performance for the $125 price. Runs fairly cool during longer gaming sessions.

Cons: Moving up from and 8600GT, the card was a little longer then expected. Due to my case style I have to shuffle the hard drives to make room.

Overall Review: Tested in various games with an average frame rate of ~75 FPS. Reached a high of 165FPS in Company of Heroes at 1680x1050 with all settings at max. Did see some frame rates around 20 - 25 fps in some games but was unable to determine what caused this. No stuttering or graphic tearing was seen. Set up with an AMD X2 5600+ (2.9ghz) and 4gb (2x2gb) Crucial DDR2-800.

Pros: I bought this card to replace an EVGA 8600GTS and the price of this card really helped with my purchase. paid $80 less for this than i did for the 8600GTS. My score in 3dMark06 went from the 5600s to the 11,600s. The temps while idle are about the same as my 8600GTS that i replaced, but that might be due air flow in case. Sort of ghetto rigged a 80mm fan in the front of case and temps dropped alittle.. will add 120mm later to see how much that helps (gotta find one laying around haha) The design of the card is great too! very basic, professional looking. I don't really like the "young girl in a bikini fighting a dragon with a gun the size of a truck" graphics that you see on most cards today. Sleek black that's all i need. comes with free game. already had it buy ehh ill give it to a friend. card can transfer audio. see other thoughts.

Cons: huh what? nothing.

Overall Review: New egg doesn't state it, but this card actually comes with an SPDIF connection to transfer audio through the DVI ports. its the 2pin white port next to the sli connector. You can get the SPDIF cable along with the DVItoHDMI adapter directly from EVGA. Also, new egg says you need atleast 26Amps on +12v, but the box says you only need 18Amps. I'm thinking of buying another for SLI.

Pros: Single slot, quite fan, low power consumption. Works great as a dedicated PhysX card. Increased my FPS by 20% on CryoStasis using this card solely for PhysX, while my other video card handled the rest of the graphic rendering.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Does what its supposed to.

Pros: Runs everything that I throw at it.I have a 1680x1050 19"LCD and I can run all my games at high quality ,with 16x on both AA and AS.Bioshock,UT3,COD 2,4&5,Tomb Raider Underworld,Q4,Half Life 2,IL21946,F.E.A.R. ,& Far Cry to name a few..no slow downs or glitches.Very Happy.My computer is alive again!!

Cons: None.Nilch..nada...nope not one

Overall Review: I have a 939 AMD 3800 single core fossil.Stock speeds.An asus A8N5K non SLI M.B. with 3GB CorairXMS DDRpc3200 mem.650W Silverstone power suply and it's in a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream mid ATX case.XP pro 32 is working just fine for me.VideoCard runs from 38`C - 54C with stock speeds and cooler!

Pros: 9800 gt!!! works great. Does its job. Sturdy. Well built from EVGA.

Cons: not a con, but runs hot like most cards these days.

Overall Review: Big upgrade from my 7300gt. BUT this is for a whole new comp build. Bought the xfx 9800gt, but should have just bought this in the first place. Returned it for a full refund and no restocking fee. Thanks Newegg for outstanding customer service.

Pros: Starting with the externals, this card is very, very well made, and solid. It's very fast, and will will rip most games up even at 1680 x 1050 (my resolution). If you're concerned about Crysis; if you back this GPU up with a good Quad Core, You'll get + 30 FPS on high settings in XP. Other popular games like COD this card will rip through them at + 50 FPS. Single Slot Solution Rather low power consumption compared to the new honker GTX seris GPU's. Very Stable even with a 75+ Mhz OC.

Cons: The only con I can think of is that when you crank the fan speed up, it gets rather loud.

Overall Review: If you're on a budget or have a monitor resolution lower than 1680 x 1050, except no subsitute.

Pros: Runs quiet, so fast that I end up using vsync, cheap.

Cons: none that I've found so far.

Overall Review: If your screen refreshes at 60hZ, exactly what do you need more than 60fps for again?

Pros: Single slot, just long enough ie. 10" to not hit my hard drives in mid atx case. Love the overclocking tool. Runs about 50C with fan on 35% power by default. From 80% fan power, the card starts to get very noisy. Full fan power only decreases temps by 5C. The card is well built and stable so far. Can be downclocked and overclocked. I'm using 400W power supply with 27Amps for both V1 and V2 rails, no problems. I think the minimum is 26Amps for this card. The card consumes about 105 Watts at peak.

Cons: none
