Pros: Excellent card. Runs everything at over 60 Frames/sec @ 1280 x 1024 resolution, with 4X Antialiasing, 4x Anisotropic Filtering. Games Include Call of Duty 4: MW, MW2, Dragon Age: Origins, Dungeons & Dragons Eberron so far. I have been stressing the GPU for over 12 hours at 100% load with different CUDA applications and so far, not even a single hick-up. Card is .. "relatively" quiet. I wouldn't say Its the most quiet card out there, but certainly nowhere near the noise level of the higher performance cards with centrifugal fan designs. No need for any external power connections, as this monster only draws 75 watts (6.5 amps at 12 volt) at full load, and runs entirely off the power supplied by the pci express x16 slot. I have a 350 watt power supply, and It can handle this card easily. Although, my system is fairly light: just 1 hard drive and 1 dvd rom. This card is as fast (and in a lot of tests, faster) as an ATI radeon 4850, yet sells for around the same price as a 4670 radeon.

Cons: I won't knock off an egg for this, since its a minor detail. One of the CD's in the box was 3D mark Vantage advanced, along with a cd key. I was unable to run the program or activate it, as it didn't accept the provided key and redirected me to purchase the benchmarking application for 20$ on the web.

Overall Review: This is a great card for a budget performance system. If you got a half descent power supply (350-400w) and you want the fastest card for the $ without having to upgrade the power supply, this IS the card to get, as it obliterates everything in its category. This eco friendly monster is a lot faster then a Geforce 240, and almost as fast as a Geforce 250 GTS. If you use your PC to encode/transcode videos, and for any kind of graphics intensive work, besides just gaming, then Nvidia is certainly the way to go right now, as CUDA has a lot more support in the industry then ATI or their outrageously expensive Stream series cards. Newegg shipped the box in under 8 hours, received it in 4 days. Box was well insulated and arrived unblemished. As a 1st time shopper at newegg, It certainly won't be my last!

Pros: Runs cool, no need for a 6 pin connector. Is pretty silent (except for one issue, see cons) Small, good bang for buck. Played cod4 with no issues and at max settings at reasonably high fps. pretty sure it can handle current games and will probably be able to do so for at least a year or two.

Cons: a slight electronic buzzing can be heard from the card, doesn't seem to affect the performance of the card, but it can be slightly annoying. No HDMI, but not really an issue for me.

Overall Review: I ordered this to replace a factory OC'd 8800 GT extreme which was a beast, this score .1 less in windows experience index (score is 6.8)

Pros: I took a chance with zotac because i didn't know much about them, but their card had the best specs of this model and one the lowest (if not the lowest) prices. I was absolutely not disappointed at all. Card worked right away, and has been working so for about a year now, with winxp, vista x64, and win7 x64. It's clock speeds are still better than some of the 200 series cards out there (though memory size is 512, while the standard now seems to be 1g). Run all my games on full, but sometimes i have to lower AA a bit.

Cons: Card is big yes, but 1) You know that before hand, so i don't need to take off an egg. 2) It's pretty much the standard size with good video cards right now

Overall Review: It's got a 5 year warranty. Don't know what i'll do with a 5 year warranty on a video card, with the technology changing at this rate, but it's there...just in case.

Pros: Does not require the additional 6-pin PCIe power connector, runs cool even with the stock cooler and the stock cooler is surprisingly quiet, even when the card gets above 60 degrees C under full load

Cons: Stock cooler does not make contact with the DDR3 modules, which boggles my mind - If a Zotac rep is trolling these boards, that is a valid (yet cheap) suggestion to improve the performance and lifespan of this card.

Overall Review: I was looking for a good deal on a low-power 9800GT and it was a no brainer to go with Zotac when I saw this card under 80 bones plus rebate. Zotac is a sister company (a step-sister company would be more accurate) to Sapphire, which I liked back in the day when I bought ATI cards. I am exclusively on the green team now, so it is nice to have an option from PC Partner, the parent company. I bought this for a our main HTPC, which has had a 9500GT giving mediocre performance & a custom power supply which would likely die if I connected a regular 9800GT to it. This 9800GT has impressed me thus far and I did test it using 3DMark Vantage with decent results. It only has to give me good video playback, so it is nice to know it will do the job. As mentioned in the cons, there are no thermal pads (or anything) between the DDR3 and the aluminum heatsink, so I took care of that using some thicker pads from an old 7900GT heatsink I found in the "boneyard."

Pros: Low Cost, Great Performance.

Cons: Nothing as for as I know

Overall Review: The great thing is that it doesn't require power to run the thing, and I play some games that require a lot of power to run like Bioshock 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, so when I am running these games on full everything and still getting great frame rates... Best buy I would say for a video card.

Pros: Great card fits with ease. only takes up one pci slot. No need for the 6 pin connector

Cons: Does not come with newest drivers. If you dont have internet connection you should buy a newer card.

Overall Review: Great card played bfbc2 on high but i need the new drivers, some textures missing.

Pros: For the price this card is worth it. I bought it with a 460w PSU to just insure I had enough power. Core temp at windows load is 36C and with nothing graphic running it gets to 50-52C. I realized that the new PC I just bought didnt have a back case fan so I ordered those also off newegg. I can WoW at 1600x900 with max settings and get 20FPS in Dalaran. I took the screen rez down a bit to get the extra fps. Also bought Divinity II - Ego Draconis and the game runs good graphics with the card. Only problem I had was the card getting a little hot but that will be solved with the fans.

Cons: Only one thing but I am not going to knock an egg for it. The Firestorm program supported by Zotac works with telling you the temp in your case and to set your own fan speed. It will not overclock your card. I wasnt really looking to do that anyways.

Overall Review: eMachines ET1331G-03w Windows 7 64-bit AMD Athlon II x2 Zotac GeForce 9800GT 512MB 256-bit 750HDD 6GB DDR2 Ram

Pros: much lower profile than I first thought, in a full size board it actualy lets you use the other pci ports - encoding dropped dramatically, I upgraded from a 128bit 7600, I guess I should have expected that, stays cool despite the small fan, I don't game much but I do use a lot of adobe after effects and for this even under heavy load I have yet to see a temp over 56 celsius

Cons: zotac... not a name anyone is familiar with, however they are making quality stuff and this is definitely no joke, granted this is no super-duper quadro or some monster GTX 250 wish it actualy came with a HDMI port or at least a DVI/hdmi converter thing

Overall Review: don't be fooled by the orange packaging, it is a nice card and it doesn't consume too much power, my psu is a 480w however and provides plenty of juice to the card I plan on getting the GTX model in the future, once prices come down some
