Pros: Card is blazing fast. Highly recommend if you are a gamer. The 512MB is more than enough. Runs all my games at max graphics when I couldn't before. (Red Faction Guerrilla, Section 8, Call of Duty 4, NFS Shift, Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, etc). In Windows 7, works great. You can go to NVIDIA site to download their drivers. Before I had a Radeon X1600 PRO 256MB, and Windows 7 gave it a score of 4.3. Using the 9800GT, it jumped to 5.9! In resident evil 5, I jumped from 30 FPS to near 70!
Cons: Heatsink is a bit big, and will occupy the next PCI slot for sure if you are using a small ATX motherboard. The fan is a bit loud, but what do you expect? Comes with software to overclock the video card and adjust fan, but it keeps giving me the BSOD on my Windows 7 machine. Not sure if its related to my configuration or not, you may have better luck.
Overall Review: Dual Core AMD Athlon 3800+ 2 GB Ram OCZ DDR2 160GB WD Sata Hard drive With this new video card, it has breathe new life into my gaming adventure.
