Leadtek GeForce 8500 GT DirectX 10 PX8500GT 256MB 256MB 128-Bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Direct x10. good price for mid performance card. Definite improvement over intergrated on board video. Easy install and Vista compatible. Only needs 300w power supply so you can install on most any pre configurated machines.

Cons: Not really a con but not the greatest gaming card but that has to be expected. Will run most games though.

Overall Review: As noted in pros this card is not a power eater. Can be installed with a 300w power supply. Upgraded a DELL 531 with no problems. System DELL 531 AMD 5000+ duo core, 4 mb ram, 320Gig hardrive, Leadtk 8500GT video card Running Vista Premium. Runs sweet, no problems. Thanks NEWEGG for great prices and fast delivery.

Pros: great price for the product, got it for under 60$.

Cons: every once in a while i can hear a high pitch humm comming from one of the transisters

Overall Review: over all great card would recommend to others, plays the last generation of games all on high (bf2, cod2, fear)

Pros: Card has worked wonderfully. i play Company of heroes on high settings with no lag. C&C Tiberium Wars on high settings with no lag and CSS 60-100 fps and a stress test of 129 fps. On stock my card idles at 41C and max load of 52C. 8500's are very good overclockers so i pumped my core to 530 and mem clock to 465 just to get a feel to temps. Was very stable. Overclocked I had idle at 51C and max of 59C. Seems that temp can go up to 100C and still be stable but thats what i've read. not gonna try that lol.

Cons: No sli bridge but i only have one pci express 16 slot on computer so no problem there. Price of this card has gone up on newegg. I got it for 84.99 with no rebate but seems its gone up 20 dollars. I only scored a 3000 on aquamark 3d 2006 but I rather judge a card on ingame graghics then a program that determines cards performance

Overall Review: Have the cool master centurion 5 case, pent d 2.8 ghz, 7200 western digitial 8 mb cache hardrive, 2 gigs ddr667 pc5300 ram.

Pros: This card is an awesome step up card. It runs flawlessly, and extremely cool with a well ventilated case. I scored just over 70,000 with this card stock. Low price.

Cons: Nothing. Not a high price. The memory could be quicker.

Overall Review: This card paired with an ASUS motherboard and nice Intel Core2 from newegg, make an excellent high end budget machine. This card is also a GT, not a GTS, so this card is not lacking anything. It plays all my FPS games (BF, GRAW,RO) at full quility. Did I mention a low price? Long Live NewEgg!

Pros: card scored 68000 score on aquamark3d , better than the 32000 that i got w my sapphire x700 pro. handles vista beautifully. running amd 2000 winchester with 2gb of corsair xlr pro ram ( samsung tccd chipset )

Cons: have haerd that really drynamic overclocking burns out fan but this is the step up card b4 i get a foxconn 8800.

Overall Review: newegg is a godsend when selling and servicing their customers. i trust them over all others for their fairness and their customer service

Pros: Wanted a decent 8500 card for gaming . This card plays all the new games COD 4, Bioshock, Gears of War, on normal + settings @ (1280x1024) 720p. Plays Kane and Lynch on high. I got it when they had the rebate also.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: XP pro, running direct X 9c. 3.4 805d, 4g ddr2 667. I have lots of case cooling.

Pros: It's a nice cheap DirectX 10 card, for less than a hundred dollars and it can play plenty of games, for those of you who think this card isn't a gaming card. It does just fine.

Cons: My only problem with this card is that it basically sits at 50C. Which is a little hot for my tastes, especially when my last card was a passive cooling, and didn't get nearly as hot. I figured a fan would have actually kept this thing cool.

Overall Review: It's a good card, plays plenty of games on high settings, It can even play Crysis on all Medium settings. Which isn't bad considering this card doesn't even have 1/4th of the bandwidth or stream processors as a 8800. Though this card surely does run great none the less.

Pros: Good low end DX10 card. Best part was the price paid. Takes the load of the poor integrated graphics.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Don't expect much from this card, it's entry level. This isn't in a gaming system so I can't make a rating based on that. Works great on a basic music composition/office computer.
