My Geforce GTX 480 :)
Pros: Ok well it does everything that i wanted it to do :), i made sure before i bought it that it would run everything i wanted. for i like to play video games, on futuremark its bench mark score was about half way up compared to anything else making it a fast card. which i really liked...it had no problems being installed in my ATX case :) everthing worked fine and dandy exculding the mistakes i made :).
Cons: now...yea theres cons... yes when people say it they got rid of their heater for the winter and replaced it with this they are not joking...im ceral..well i replaced the $%^# stock heatsink and fan that evga provided, it was a pritty look but was a horriable vga cooler, so i upgrated that to an artic ice somthing cooler, anywho it was like 100 for that cooler which the card still ran hot....yes hot too hot for the computer so it shut down. soo.. yes my computer air flow sucks for your information to all you haters.....it sucked just like bad cookies so im also upgrating to a huge case that is a very bad buget killer, it was designed for the 480...problems lol. i havent got it yet but soon i will :). so the heating up issues is why i took an egg. because the artic cooler is suppose to knock off 27c, and kinda did but still not enough :'(. i mean i put my fingers on the panel next to the card and i couldnt keep my fingers there more than half a sec :O...
Overall Review: besides the heating the card is a great buy. if you have a case that is well ventalated then you'll probley be just fine, but in my situation i wasnt. its somthing ill remember when upgrading next time.
Sounds great
Overall Review: Great for the price. love it.
works
Pros: bought it with a phenom II x4 945 package, it works great, things run smoothly
Cons: bios is ok to handle not extremely difficult to handle but is okey
Overall Review: u should get it, you wont regret it just make sure you get the right stuff for it before you buy, dont go buying on impulse and then come back and start makeing bad reviews on this motherboard
WORKS GREAT
Pros: great card, cant find a problem with it, i moved from a xfx 8400 to this so i would'nt know much but with this new card i can play anything i want ive installed top demos, benchmarked it on yougamers and i tops everything, soon i might crossfire, and look up OC on internet to see what i can get out of it but it has its own interface to OC but i think it would be better to do it in the Bios
Cons: my computer shuts down and restarts or freezes alot more than the xfx infact the xfx never had these problems but then again it could be another componet
Overall Review: my rig OS: windows xp 32bit this card AMD phenom(tm) II x4 945 2 gigs of ddr3 1066 ram (going to upgrade this soon tho) 120 hard drive and thats my computer about
