Pros: WOW...This card is not only one of THE best cards out there currently, it kills the competition of every single other 8800gt released. Comes factory OC already and a WONDERFUL cooling system to allow much more OC safely. Now heres the part that really surprised me....I'm still on my prescott p4 2.8 ghz w/ht and I would have thought it will bottleneck like heck....apparently not as I ran the lost coast stress test (max settings, AA, 1280x1056 (monitor max), etc) and it lags little to none from the cpu side of things. Also....im on a stock Dell 305W PSU ....and it works perfectly which means it draws not quite as much power as I thought it would. Of course I still havent tried testing out UT3, Crysis, quake wars, etc, but expecting at least med-high (due to cpu limitations..till summer). GET this card before it sells out for good. Dont consider a 9 series (9600gt) as this kills it (in a way) for 30ish dollars more.

Cons: It doesn't print money????

Overall Review: p4 2.8 ghz prescott w/ht, 2x1gig ddr2 @ 533mhz dual channeled, 200 gb 56000 rpm WD hard drive, 80 gb 5600 rpm samsung HD, 8800gt OC, Sony DL dvd/cd +- recorder, cd drive, dell 305W PSU. Best card money can buy. PERIOD. Thanks MSI/newegg :D

Pros: Great performance for the money! Already OC @ 660 MHz and great cooling. I haven't tried over clocking the GPU though. I bought two for an sli rig I just put together. With sli AFR3 enabled, crysis runs with custom settings (No AA, mix of medium and high) at 40 fps (1680x1050 res). I can get my frame rate up to 50 fps when I overclock my e6750 from 2.6 GHz to 3.6 GHz. It seems at that CPU frequency the video cards were finally my bottle neck Another thing to consider is the my MB (MSI P6N platinum) runs both cards at 8x in sli mode. Plays HL2 episode 2, with everything at high and AA at x16. (1680x1050 res) amazingly! wow..really...what a pair.

Cons: Not sure of any...just that in sli mode can't use dual monitors. Easily fixable since you can deactivate sli mode via nvidia control panel.

Overall Review: sli isn't necessarily better than a single card. It depends on the game and graphics cards. However the cost of two of these is around 400 dollars at the time of writing, which is cheaper than one 8800 GTx or GT ultra. In terms of performance again it depends on the game (do some research). Only at high resolutions does sli become efficient (it sustains your frame rate). So if you don't have a large wide screen then going sli is pointless.

Pros: Take the power of a Geforce 8800GT, add a factory overclock for more power, then add a Zalman cooler for substantially lower temperatures and noise levels, then finish off with a price that not only undercuts the competition but brings it into the range of the Radeon 3850s. If you are a gamer, this is the best card for the money on the market right now.

Cons: 8800GT requires a lot of power to run- more than most CPUs. Very long card, may not fit in smaller cases. Takes up 2 slots due to the cooler.

Overall Review: Quiet computing is important to me, and my fans are all undervolted, so the loudest component in my computer is the hard drive. I'm happy to report that the hard drive is still the loudest component after installing this video card with a GREAT, quiet cooler with automatic fan control.

Pros: 1) it's 'cheap' 2) aftermarket style cooling 3) it's FAST FAST FAST!! 4) it's cheap 5) oh yeah, IT'S FAST!!!

Cons: NONE - have you read above?

Overall Review: Replaced EVAG 8800 GTS 320 (G80) - blows it away for a hundie less - my word, it's running 60FPS in most anything I throw at it - AND my cinebench10 score went up by 20% over an EXISTING 8800!!

Pros: non-Ref dessign cooler less noize disipates heat better

Cons: does not vent outside case be sure you have ample airflow in your case

Overall Review: Temps at stock fan speeds very good even under load. Only need to increase if you plan to OC. Fan at stock is barely audible but is not unpleasantly high pitch. At full speed fan is easyly heard but again the pitch is not anoying. I'm happy with this purchase

Pros: According to Ntune the GPU ambient temps are about 46 deg.C idle and 56 deg.C load in a well vented case. (3+ case fans) That's great for an 8800GT with a factory OC which are known to have temps in the +70 load range. Bump up the fan speed to bring it down another 4-6 deg. There is more room to OC this card if you choose. Paired with a very good dual core or quad core CPU this single card will run Crysis at max settings at a 1280x1024 resolution.

Cons: The GPU heatsink does not push the air directly out of the exhaust vent, which will increase your ambient case temp. The stock fan setting is set to only 29%.

Overall Review: Right off the start download and install the latest drivers from Nvidia's site. I would also suggest bumping up the GPU fan to about 50-60% with a seperate tuner app. Anything above 85% will produce a noticable hum and hardly helps your temps. I was hesitant to get an 8800GT because of the single slot cooler on such a high-end card, but it looks like they did well on this dual slot model. I have on of these paired with an E8400@ 3.6GHz and 2GB of 1066 speed memory that will handle any game currently on the market. This card will perform on par with an 8800GTX at lower resolutions without AA or AF on. The 8800GT is a great card for the right user, but not a replacement for the 8800GTX. My 3DMark06 score was 13,000+

Pros: Performs great so far, after fixed the hardware problem (see cons and other thoughts).

Cons: The fan was touching the plastic cover over the heatsink and around the fan. It made a loud annoying sound obviously because the fan was hitting the plastic cover. Luckily the plastic cover is removable with 4 screws. I removed it, no problems since then. Once I have the time i will grind the plastic around the fan back so it will not touch and replace it.

Overall Review: great card after removing the cover. I don't know the air flow dynamics, ie. if the plastic cover is helping the air flow over the heatsink, so i will grind the plastic around the fan back so it will not touch and replace it, to see if the operational temperature of the GPU changes.

Pros: 1.plays every game out there very well 2. with the massive cooler on this thing its runs extremely cool vs the nvidia refrence design 3. at the current time one of the cheapest 8800gt's on newegg with 512mb ram 4. its bragging rights (:

Cons: it takes two slots, hmm.. wait a minute thats why i bought this one because of its gigantic cooler, so not really a con. VERY LONG CARD ALMOST NINE INCHES!!!

Overall Review: FYI shaders are oced from 1500mhz to 1650mhz along with the 60mhz oc on the core( didnt give the oc of the shaders under specs)
