Pros: This card runs my games amazing (i dont do hardcore gamming) i play simple mmorpgs but this runs everything flawless and with hdmi compat i can hook it up to my tv i really enjoy having this card in my system

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Good price for a great card

Pros: plays crisys at all settings high, along with a pentium d and 2 gig of crucial(cheepest)ddr2 and still gets between 30 and 40 fps not bad for a mid range card!

Cons: wasnt free, hdmi cable... but for 70 bucks what do you expect.

Overall Review: old Emachine chassi BIOSTAR G31-M7 TE 2gig ddr2 160gig 7200rpm 16mb catch WD. 9600 gso 512 tc. pentium d 3.4 ghz

Pros: For the budget minded system builder who wants to play games.

Cons: Not for the non-gaming person who run a lot of text base programs. Has problem displaying high resolutions on wide screen displays. Being incorrect screen positioning and sizing. Programs will display incorrectly at these resolutions also. Slow to initialize at power-on boot time and/or re-boot.

Overall Review: No newer updates to correct the resolution problems. Had to remove these boards and reinstall my old ones to correct the display problems.

Pros: This card is fantastic! I got 2 of them and the performance blew me away with no external power needed. I can play ANY GAME! At max graphics, max antialising, max resolution, everything FPS are always at a stable 60-150 FPS on SC2/Crysis/Battlefield/MW2/MMORPG's and more! I have a Zotac AM2+ nForce 750a Motherboard that has Hybrid SLi/Hybrid Power technology and this helps alot as well.

Cons: Does not support TRI-SLi which im soon upgrading too, saddens me i have to get new cards. These do not support video editing do not even try, Using after effects in this is a killer it takes sooooo long for frames to load up. I know its not my CPU/RAM cause my friend has the same build just about and he can do video editing just fine with his XFX cards.

Overall Review: Runs hot, not bad but after installing a antec v-cooler its been fine since. When i first bought them the fan speeds were at max making my silent case build pretty much useless. Now since the antecs are cooling them too, there silent as well :D These are highly recommended for any type of gamer, these are cheap and are very reliable you can overclock them if needed, so far i have not. (Clocking didn't help the video editing just so you know) And since these do not require external power guess what? You don't need to blow $150-$200 on a new SLi Certified power supply! YAY!

Pros: Very high performance Runs any game smoothly at highest settings Very worth its price Easy to install

Cons: None

Pros: runs great no lag at all and im running it in battlefield badcompany 2. installed with no problem. alot better than my old 7600 gs (256 ram). the turbo cache works great and it does run it at 1 gig.

Cons: none at all.

Pros: This card performs better than the ATI Radeon 3870 card that I had before. This card has a much higher Shader Clock, and potential for overclocking, and fortunately this card doesn't run as hot as the 3870. This card also has a built in physx GPU unlike the 3870.

Cons: It has a slightly lower Main GPU clock than the 3870, and the single slot design makes me nervous, with the dual slot design that my 3870 had there was alot more air flow.

Overall Review: The 3870 was only a 512 card, and this card has 1 Gig with Turbo Cache.

Pros: quiet fan - nice looking card - good numbers

Cons: Drivers are buggy as heck - couldn't get to work - even as a replacement for another geforce card. Was booting to black screen of death. Card worked (low performance) with no drivers installed - so the hardware was OK. Too bad it didn't work out - would have been a nice card if I could have gotten even an older version of the drivers to work.
