Pros: Unreal speeds. Made my old 3800x2 come to life. I just ordered a intel 6750 pc. But had I tried this card in my current pc before that I would have never ordered the new intel core duo 2 pc.
Cons: The stock fan does not cool the chip properly. In auto mode it idles at something like 29% and on my pc that is 64C. In Stalker I would play for about 5-10 minutes then my screen would completely artifact. I'd exit and reboot and it would happen all over again. I installed NTune and checked the temp and it was around 90C. But still at 29% speed. Obviously something is wrong here with the fan drivers. My card should not be artifacting stock.
Overall Review: With Ntune I manually set the fan speed to 50% and my temps stayed down into the mid 70's and was stable for about 2 hours of playtime. I'm gonna give it a few days to see if the artifacting comes back. I've heard that everyone with a 8800 gt is having issues like this. If the card doesn't artifact anymore it's a keeper. The speeds are outstanding. it smokes my 7900gt SLI setup.
