GIGABYTE GeForce 8800 GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card GV-NX88T256HV1

Pros: It is a good card and is very fast. Small size is perfect for those that want performance but have a smaller case

Cons: The fan is not as pictured, it is the fan that comes with the 512MB GDDR3 card. Although not excessively loud, it definitely is not as quiet as the Zalman fan shown. In a full gamer rig this will not be a problem but it is not suitable for a "bedroom" PC or HTPC.

Overall Review: The power connector seemed very sensitive to any contact/movement. Be careful rooting around in the case or moving the case, as a gentle nudge or jiggle will knock power out to the card momentarily. This may have been a problem, albeit not a big one, with my card only as no one else has reported this. The PSU 6 pin was snug. Had to RMA, unfortunately, and take the $30 hit. In a gaming rig with powerful case-cooling, this card will not be heard.

Pros: Going from a 7900gt the performance increase is quite stunning. Fan and heatsink, although bulky, work well with little noise. Great product for a great price.

Cons: Unless I completely missed something, there was no software for overclocking (gamer's hud) that came with it. Not that that bothered me b/c I don't need to use it anyway.

Overall Review: Can play Oblivion maxed out 1650x1050 w/ 4x AA at avg 40-50 FPS. Can max out Bioshock and Call of Duty 4 with great framerate as well. Crysis is the only game that gives this card a struggle and that runs great in all high settings at 1280x800. And all this on an Athlon 64 X2 3800+, which is a very outdated CPU. Two thumbs up for this card!

Pros: This thing rocks for the money. Had a 7900gt and this inexpensive card just doubled my frame rates. WOW the only game that slows it down is crysis and it very playable at most of the settings on high.

Cons: It doesnt come with a super model

Overall Review: if your not ready to pony up some big bucks this card will get you almost to NIRVANA. Best bang for the buck I have seen and mated with the black box 5000 AMD you are getting 10,000+ point 06 scores for chump change. dont let the 256 meg fool you this is very fast and probably the best value out there.

Pros: Overclocked out of the box but after running a couple days got this thing at 725-2000!!! 13200 on 06 test. Replace my 8800 gts 320 that got 12225 on 06 test. Overclocking HUD program rocks can even change voltage. Card running 45c temps. Zalman fan looks nice and works great.

Cons: ROFL

Overall Review: Got this on a 965-DS3 board, E6400 at 3.3 GHZ, Wintec DDR2 800 and Exclio PS. All my parts come from the Egg. Best place to buy IMO.

Pros: Well, an 8800GT (G92) core with a nice stock overclock (700mhz core) and a zalman cooler with double digit pricing from the egg just is crazy. CUDA capable card as well, so you can fold on it. Nvidia also said that it was going to have drivers that would enable PhysX for the G92 cores.

Cons: While the 256MB is a con, you will not really notice it unless you are running something larger than a 22 inch monitor. The fan isn't totally silent (but it isn't that bad).

Overall Review: I moved up from a XFX 8600GT XXX to this card and now I can play Call Of Duty 4 and see soooo much more. I'm able to run it at 1280x1024 with 4xAA. I also use this card with FAH and it can score about 4800 points per day. Idle temps were 40C .. and 100% usage with folding it only gets to 58C. This is an awesome card. If you are on a budget, dont let the 256MB of GDDR3 scare you (unless you will be running higher than 16xx by xxxx resolution).

Pros: Price (even without the rebate it would be decent). HUD (overclock utility) Size (shorter then the normal 8800GT) Performance (clocked faster then the normal 8800GT)

Cons: Only one rebate per customer/unit. heatsink does not vent outside of case. currently out of stock (I want to buy another!!!)

Overall Review: Purchased this card to use for folding@home. Pulling 4600 ppd at stock clock speed. I dont believe you can directly set the fan speed on the cooler, I think it is set to always be on high

Pros: This is an unbelievable card for the pricetag. Ended up being $70 with the rebate, for an 8800GT with a Zalman cooler and a game I was going to buy anyway. Just to buy the game and the cooler would have been as much as this card cost me. I've got it running EverQuest2, *Anything* on Source, NWN2, Oblivion and anything else I can toss at it and it just laughs. I'm very impressed. I haven't tried anything like Crysis, but so far the 256mb GRAM has done nothing to slow this card down, especially with the cooler on it and it's OC potential.

Cons: To be honest, not a damned thing. This card came out of the box, into my Vista 32bit system, Vista installed the newest drivers *for* me, and I started playing games. All I did was open the box and put it in my case.

Overall Review: Neverwinter Nights 2 is a pretty fun game, despite Obsidian making it. Great little additional fun to go with an awesome card. Also, the Gamer HUD program that comes on the disk for the card is built *for* this line of cards by Gigabyte and allows for some amazing OCing on these cards. The only thing Gamer HUD is missing is a fan-speed controller, but I haven't had any heat issues so far, so the auto-fan settings on the card seem to be doing their job perfectly. BUY THIS CARD NOW IF YOU NEED ONE, THIS DEAL IS AMAZING!!!1!!!one!!

Pros: The card runs beautifully, i can play most all of my games a t max settings with this, and the price is just to die for!

Cons: Nothing! i've heard some people complain that it makes too much noise, but it just sounds like your computers case fans normally.

Overall Review: Planning on going SLi with this, i just ordered a second one. Should be epic.
