Pros: Spoke too soon. Gave this 5 eggs 2 days ago and then.....Artifacting and complete freeze up! I'm not an overclocker. My temps are very cool, case temp is at 27 to 28C and my cpu temp is a cool 30 to 34C depending on what I'm doing. Other than that great card while it lasted.

Cons: Finicky card

Overall Review: These guy's need a heatsink/fan combo that covers all of the mewmory as well as the gpu. The 7600gt is so much more reliable why didn't they just make a 7650 instead of a 7950? Hmmmm...

Pros: While it was working: Fantastic card. Ran almost every game that I could find maxed/almost maxed out, came with a free copy of Tomb Raider Legend. Manuals were easy enough to understand. Drivers that came with it were outdated already, but that problem is easily solved.

Cons: After three days of owning this card, the same problem that so many other people are having happened to me also. Artifacting, tearing, system crashes, the works. Disappointed to say the least.

Overall Review: Replacement card is on its way (thanks Newegg), hopefully this one won't die out on me. Great value for the performance if you can get lucky and find one that doesn't hose itself.

Pros: The card ran great for 4 months, was very pleased with performance.

Cons: Started artifacting after 4 months. XFX support/RMA process has been a nightmare

Overall Review: My main complaint comes from having to deal with XFX support. While I hope nobody ever needs to send there card in please take this into consideration for purchase. It took 2 weeks to be issued an RMA and they turned it into a hassle. In addition they have no online RMA tracking features.

Pros: Good performance,much faster then the 6600 GT.

Cons: Have had this card for 5 months...and now im getting terrible artifacting.Textures missing,odd black boxes,etc.Sometimes i cant see much because of all the odd shapes appearing on the screen.

Overall Review: I heard artifacting occurs because of heat,but the heat hasnt risen high,and i have even bought fans to cool it down more,but to no avail.

Pros: Worked great for the first 2 days

Cons: After 2 days, a lot of issues: 1. Artifacts, tearing, fine colored dots, black spots with missing graphics. 2. Severe distortion during Deep Freeze test. 3. Complete system hangup during Deep Freeze. 4. Flickering desktop about 1 or 2 second intervals after the test is over. Desktop may have colors missing or black spots in windows, taskbar and start button. You may see this distortion earlier between 3D tests when 2D desktop is exposed. 5. BSOD with infinite loop on nv driver. After MUCH research, I`ve found that this video card has a big problem with Heat on the early revisions. Once the card over heats, that`s it, it will artifact and lockup under normal game conditions. I monitored my video card heat and it locks up every time right around 53 - 54 degrees, that is way under the default NVIDIA throttle back setting of 130 degrees.

Overall Review: I haven't given up this card yet, there is one more thing i need to try before RMA. There are a lot of complains about this card in NVIDIA official forum. A lot of people have the same issue.

Pros: -quality graphics when it doesnt freeze

Cons: -it seems to me that the memory is overheating on my card -I get artifacting on my screen when running graphic intensive programs, if i use coolbits and turn down the memory clock frequency it runs fine

Pros: Well I must say this card is very fast. I get a 3dmark 2001 score of 25258 overclocked at 540 core/806 memory. A 3dmark 2003 score of 15784. As well as 3dmark 2006 score of 5158. I was pretty unfair in a earlier review. It was user error, I didn't connect the PCI-e connector on the back of the card properly. Read below for details.

Cons: The fan is extremely loud and is stuck in the full speed position with no way to lower it. So be prepared to either buy a third party fan or deal with it. Sad thing is, 7600 cards do throttle. Horrible install manual, they should have in bold print on a sticker saying somwhere obvious, connect TWO seperate molex connectors to each side of the pci-e power plug in or you will be sorry!

Overall Review: Ok let's elaborate here, I am pretty computer saavy, I have been working with them for over 10 years now, built dozens of systems. Every prevoius system I have used had one, power connector going into the back of the card. XFX provided a pci-e power connector for the card. It has TWO molex power slots, when I thought it was one of those thru power conenctors, you know it gives you back a molex connector it takes away. Well anyway, its not, it absolutely requires TWO molex connectors to this power adapter. Either that or you should use your PCI-e power adapter on your power supply if it has it. So yeah I feel stupid, I rma'd it and that could of been avoided by making that more clear. The symptoms were identical to what others described so I had no idea. Maybe others are doing the same thing and just don't know it?

Pros: Card runs good when it runs

Cons: Card never really worked well, 3dmark2001 point sprites test has heavy artifacts and will crash the system. Guess I should of taken the talk more seriously on the web.

Overall Review: I have rma'd the card and hope for better results with the replacement , but I have my doubts and will be expecting to send it back for a refund and get the x1900gt instead. It is the same price and you don't even have to worry about this mess
