Pros: In spite of the reduced pipelines, this card has been able to handle every game I've thrown at it with style. CS:Source, DOD:Source, HL2, CoD2, Splinter Cell series, DAoC:DR, et cetera. A true dX9+ part, unlike the FX series it replaced. At this time, it may be the best deal on an Nvidia discrete graphics solution.

Cons: The XT series are reduced pixel pipeline parts, which may reduce its ability to scale to future games. The Nvidia 7k series is falling steadily in price due to aggressive ATI pricing.

Overall Review: The XFX rebate process is completely bogus. They delayed my rebate application for months and then erroneously denied it as being submitted with a late postmark. They invited a reapplication if I felt they were in error,with all the neccessary items,...I'm still waiting for the rebate. I was happy with the card for the price I paid, but defaulting on rebates is poor business practice and cost them 1 star and a customer. I will never buy XFX again. Be sure the rebate isn't the reason you buy this card.

Pros: Well I dont understand how everyone else is getting such high scores with it at stock (maybei need to do a fresh format and Windows install) because I'm getting about 3600 3dmark05 on stock speeds, in conjunction with an Opteron 165 @ 2.75 GHz and 2GB OCZ XTC PC4000 @ 505MHz 3-4-3-7. I was able to overclock this card from the stock 350/100 to 470/1150, with almost no artifacting... I think a better cooler would solve that problem. I want to get another and put it in SLI.

Cons: WILL NOT UNLOCK. Dont listen to the other reviews, the card is based on the NV42 Core, and using R.T. in an atempt to unlock the pipes (which ARE there) yields no actual unlock... it doesnt have any effect.

Overall Review: Physical appearance of the card is nice; I've always admired the BLACK PCB that XFX uses...

Pros: Cheap. Runs quietly and it cooler than other Geforce 6800 I've seen. 3DMark05 benched at around 4500 (defaults) with an AMD 64 3200+@2.65Ghz, 2GB of PC4000. It hit a mere 5500 in SLI mode (on an Asus A8N-SLI).

Cons: Not mind blowing performances. As of early March I would recommend to wait another month or two and grab a 7800 for around $200. It'll be quite a bit more than this card but will also last quite a while longer. This card only has 8 pipes which is definitely a limiting factor for upcoming games.

Overall Review: If you don't mind upgrading to something else in a year or so this card isn't bad. It'll play all of today's game fine and actually works well in SLI. Also XFX cards seem to overclock like crazy so you might be able to squeeze a bit more out of it (note that the GDDR3 would go much higher than the stock speed but the core should hit 450).

Pros: Ok, this card is awsome in SLI, it does in fact have openGL 2.0 and with 2 gb of ram BF2 plays @ 1600x1200 with fraps running taking screenshots every 10 seconds and also recording video (i have a 250 bg hd with only bf2 on it) (the pics take up 5 mb per pic at that res) i get a frame rate of 50 to 60 fps.

Cons: with stock cooling under full load 56c

Overall Review: with stock cooling under full load with artic silver 49c, with artic cooling 5nv under full load 36c, just make sure that your mobo has 2 slots inbetween cards or you can only use 1 aftermarket cooler

Pros: For the value you can't get a much better 256MB car. And don't think that because of the price it isn't a fast 256 either. I've had inexcess of 86FPS while playing games. The more intense, graphically requiring games like FlightSim, I could turn all the settings up [including Tri-Linear filtering and high texture detail] and still get a smooth result. And not that this effects preformence, but the graphics on the outside of the car are very nice as well.

Cons: If your looking for the absolute best, this particular model isn't it, but its pretty darn close. When taken to the graphic extreams it does start to show, but only one game does that for me. Also, unit runs hot, had to buy an extra fan to help protect other componets. But the problem was easily solved.

Overall Review: I was a little worried because I didn't know of XFX, but it was a good buy; WORTH EVERY PENNY

Pros: Runs BF2 on high/medium vid settings with 90 fps, no problem!

Cons: No sticker for my case!!

Pros: I ordered this card expecting it to be alright. When I popped it in and overclocked it to 420/1200 using the new nvidia beta drivers, I was amazed. I got 60fps steady on BF2 with everything maxed out incfluding AA. The only game it doesn't run maxed out is oblivion. It runs pretty decent though. Doom 3 Maxed out@60-120 FPS. Quake 4 Maxed out 50-70 FPS. I am going to buy another one and run SLI.

Cons: Bad 3dmark06 rating. But what do you expect 3dmark06 is insane.

Overall Review: Great card for the money. Definintely a buy if your waiting for DX10 cards to spend big money.

Pros: Can't beat the price for this card, performs like a champ too w/o overclocking. Plays BF2 and Fear without a hitch.

Cons: Kinda long and big, because I have an ASUS P5WD2 Premium board, the card take one of my PCI slots out of commision.

Overall Review: All PCI slots are rarley used anyway, this card is definately a good buy and a good deal.
