XFX GeForce 7900GS 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card PVT71KUDF3

Pros: I installed this card as an upgrade in my IBM Intellistation that dual boots Ubuntu 7.04 and XP. Works great with the nVidia open source driver. Beryl effects look fantastic! Using it with a dual Benq display setup.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: My temp controlled cooling fans are stepping up a little more since this was installed. Plan to install a PCI slot cooler next to it to help move out the hot air.

Pros: This card installed with no problems. Nice utility programs included on CD. I upgraded from an X1300 (512mb) and the XFX Nvidia runs circles around it. I am VERY happy. Newegg and UPS delivered ontime (A+), as usual.

Cons: This will probably be the last upgrade for my AGP system, but was well worth it.

Overall Review: I play Vanguard at 1600x1200 on balanced(gorgeous). I get average 30-50 fps with no problems at all. I use XP, Asus A8V, AMD 64X2 4200(not OCed), Thermaltek CPU fan, 2 Gigs Corsair memory and Diamond sound card(want SB X-Fi), all in an Antec P150 case(beautifully quiet). All from Newegg!! Building a Vista machine is next on the list as soon as drivers and software are hashed out a bit more. Keep up the great service, Newegg.

Pros: this card worked great right off the bat. I went from a 6200gforce to this one and wow. i can run two monitors with Q4 at 1280 1024 with all the pretty on with no AA and no lag. definitely worth the money.

Cons: the sub-d wasn't making a good connection and i had some color problems. they went away when i hooked up a dvi monitor to it. just check your connections before you RMA it.

Overall Review: just to set the record strait YOU WILL NEED A 400 WATT MIN POWER SUPPLY TO RUN THIS CARD. I got mixed info from some of the other reviews on that, figured I'd put it to bed.

Pros: Can't say...card stopped working before I could try it out!

Cons: Card just stopped working minutes after installing. Put in a ticket at the XFX support site. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon. I've read every review on here. Seems that the card have a 50/50 chance of working from the factory. I would definitely stay away from this card. A 50/50 chance of working is not worth the headache of trying to return it.

Overall Review: I ran World of Warcraft right after installing the card and the new drivers to test out the new graphics. Within a minute after maxing out the in-game graphics, I got major graphical glitches and eventually computer froze and rebooted with a black screen. Tried to uninstall and reinstall card but still just black screen. Monitor can't detect signal from card anymore either. How disappointing!

Pros: This card it Awesome to begin with. I upgraded from a Nvidia 6200, that being said I can say it was a huge upgrade. I am still forced to run AGP for right now so I did a lot of research for this card. I am a big gamer and games such as WoW can run with all video settings up and I still get ~60fps. I was even able to run half-life 2 series and TF2 on with all settings kicked up to their max with no problems. The only lag I got was while getting server latency. I really suggest this card if you are looking to get another 6mths - 1year out of your AGP board before going all PCI-E.

Cons: The card is rather big, if you dont have sufficient space in your case you better do some measuring before buying this card. I only had about 1/2" space between the card and one of my drives left. I am using a big Aerocool case which is already fairly roomy. I would really suggest that you make sure you case can fit the card before installing.

Overall Review: I have heard that this card runs rather warm, I have not experienced any heating issues as of yet. I do however suggest buying the card slot cooler that Newegg sells (I bought one with my purchase) to go in below the card. I will not hurt anything to spend an extra 15 bucks for the fan. Seeing as how you can overclock this card if you know what you are doing I would REALLY suggest the cooler for that. I have burned up cards in the past because I did not have enough cooling, I cannot stress enough that you will need more cooling with this card.

Pros: Plays games really well. NFS:MW on high settings etc.

Cons: Died on me a little over two weeks after installation. Video corruption. Seems to be an issue with these XFX cards as this is not an isolated issue.

Overall Review: I would go with some other manufacturer. Maybe ATi is a good choice.

Pros: Back when I bought this bad boy I was running it on an AMD Duron and 1.5 gigs of Kingston ValueSlect. I since upgraded to a E6420 C2D, with 2 GB's of Crucial Balistic Memory, 150GB Raptor, 550 Watt Rosewell PSU. It blows everything away ( Given I dont play high demand games). I went from 4FPS to 25 to 60. I'am very satisfied.

Cons: Was getting kinda hott 60c but when I check the fan speed it was at 15% , I up'd it to 80% now I stay cool around 40 -48c Given I also keep my room cooled with my AC.

Overall Review: I don't think card is bad. The only thing I can come up with is that certain people got bad batches. Mines has been running smoothly since I bought it back in late August.

Pros: Excellent Graphics, will run just about and current game w/ high settings. I play a lot of Source based mods, and it plays them flawlessly. I also play Red Orchestra and upgrading from a 6600 OC to this was a huge improvement

Cons: Ok, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE POWER SUPPLY TO PUSH THE AMPS YOU NEED!. I can not stress that enough, I thought my old Thermaltake 430W PSU could handle the power. WRONG! I had to buy a PC&P Silencer 750(60 Amps on 12V+ line) to get this baby up and running. The card needs 20 AMPs minimum to run. Another problem, these cards have been faulty for some, I gurantee there power supply is the main culprit. This card is also very difficult to overclock and I have yet to solve that puzzle. It also seems this card has a very short life, will let yall know if it craps out at all.

Overall Review: Great Card when you can get it to run, just remember 20AMPS MINIMUM. Card is great for the last of us trying to hold on to our AGP systems a little longer. However there are rumors of an 8000 Nvidia Series AGP card. Wouldnt hold your breath though. This will be my last upgrade for this aging system.
