EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 512-P3-N879-AR

Pros: Had it for over a week now, couple artifacting crashes but let me get to that

Cons: THIS CARD underclocks itself, it goes to less than half of the stock clock speeds during 2d mode, which causes problems. Core is not meant to jump clocks on demand like that. Memory can't keep up, and bam...pretty purple colors and system freeze.

Overall Review: FIX to that is to alter 2d settings via R!vaTun3r. Set it to stock clocks, yes it will run 1 or 2 degrees hotter, yes it'll suck more juice and you'll pay 5-10 more bucks a month for electricity. AND YES IT'LL RUN STABLE WITHOUT CRASHING OR ARTIFACTING :D

Pros: Came with CoD5 and jacked up the settings to max and the card was completely mowing through the game like it was nothing. I upgraded from a 8600GTS to this 9800GTX+. My futuremark score went from 12,325 to 22,956. Simply awesome. The 8600GTS served me well but this baby is awesome.

Cons: big, but so what. Would have liked to have seen a different design on the outside of the card but that does not help or hinder the performance so, so what.

Overall Review: I just installed the card in a Antec 300 computer case and had more room than I expected. I had to move my hard drives down a little bit to fit the card, but that was expected.

Pros: - 55nm core - Single power connector (6-pin PCI-E) - Short card, measures 9.5" - Exhausts outside case - EVGA lifetime

Cons: - Nibitor cannot identify the card so no BIOS overclock

Overall Review: I took this card apart day one to verify core, it's a B1 55nm chip. Overclocking so far is up to 830 core, 2300 memory. The shader doesn't go much farther than 1900. The fan speed ramps up automatically to keep this card near 60C. The board design of this card looks to be an improvement on the original GTX+ which was just a GTX with new core. They took out a lot of length and all the power reg is aligned neatly. Unfortunately the power connector looks like an afterthought, sticking out a bit beyond the card edge. Thats not going to interfere with anything, just looks weird.

Pros: Used this card in the last two computers I built. I have to admit, I was blown away by the performance for the price range. Runs wow on ultra at 60+ fps, war and codwaw ran smooth at max settings as well. The drivers are amazingly simple to update from nvidia. The card is way more quiet than one would expect it to be. This card runs amazingly cool under load. The highest I have EVER gotten it was 55c, and thats with all of my case fans on the lowest setting.

Cons: Some people complain about the length of this card, and to be honest, it is kind of like a small coffee table.

Overall Review: I like the size though. put it in an Antec900 (hard drive port in the mid section of the case) and had no problems with length. Asthetically, this card is beautiful, and that size makes your friends jelous when they look through that plexiglass window on your case.

Pros: I've seen a vast improvement in graphics cards and this card runs quiet, cool and fast. Even while running COD5 - World at War at max settings for a 1680x1050 22" monitor running the card at the monitors full resolution for 5 hours straight, the temp of this card barely reaches 40°C and the fan runs at minimum speed. Power wise since it is running cool and the fan is at minimum the power draw is very light since the power is scaled back when not in use especially with the 55nm die.

Cons: - I had an issue where I would freeze due to a graphics card problem. (checkered pattern on screen, computer froze). I re-installed the drivers from NVidia (already had the latest version when I first installed it from NVidia) and have not had the problem since even after countless hours of playing.

Overall Review: - A word of note when using with Microsoft XP. You will need to make sure that you are installing the version that has Service Pack 2 already included with the install/boot cd. (If you don't have one with them combined on the same cd, look into slip-streaming the XP with SP2 and making your own bootable cd) If you don't get the combined bootable CD the install may not work for you and error out while loading drivers to begin XP installation. (Due to the technology of the newer graphics cards the older version OS doesn't recognize the newer cards.)

Pros: Runs Fallout 3 @ 1680 x 1050 on High settings with 4x AA 8x AF at 50-60 FPS and it looks fantastic. My eyes actually teared up when I saw it for the 1st time. Seriously.... <.< >.> <.< Upgraded from a BFG 8600 GT OC and my EVGA 9800 GTX+ makes it look like a freaking sissy boy. I purchased this card based on EVGA's esteemed customer support reputation, which is something that while I've never had to use is always good to know is there. Their step-up program is also a plus....now if I just had the cash to step up =( SLI would be nice, but until I think my next thing to upgrade should be my proc.

Cons: Rather long, managed to fit in my Sonata III case with out any trouble. But that's to be expected with the higher end GPU's these days. Had to buy a new PSU to meet it's power expectations but I needed to do that anyways. Didn't come with a lapdance.

Overall Review: I rather like the EVGA precision tool that was in the bundled software with the card. You can rig it up so it'll tell you temp, fps, core, shader, and memory clock, which I think is pretty handy. Comes with a slider that allows you to OC it if that's your thing. Idle temps range from about 35-37°C. Under load they hit around 63-65°C. Which is pretty toasty, Makes my room nice and warm though. ^^ Spec's ASUS M2N32 SLI DLX 2 gig Corsair DDR2 800 Mhz AMD Dual core 4200+ Windsor proc @ 2.21 Ghz EVGA 9800 GTX+ 512 MB GPU Corsair 750 Watt PSU 160 GB Seagate Pata HD 500 GB WD SATA II HD Windows XP 32-bit

Pros: its a nice card

Cons: little big, i got a full tower, no biggie

Overall Review: not sure why people are complaining superclocked one is only slightly clocked, plus this u get a game, and yes the game is free, go learn some math... my past exp with preclocked pieces u cant clock them yourself, superclocked is bout 40 mhz more thats it

Pros: Increased my FPS in COD4 dramatically. Holds solid at 91FPS with all high settings. Had BFG 7950GT OC 512MB which varied FPS anywhere from 25-65 and was all over the board! This card is holding up solid and installed perfectly the first time. Vista Ultimate recognized it and installed it on first bootup. And with the free game this card can't be beat!

Cons: None.
