Strengths: performance for the price, quit fan
Weakness: It gets hot
This card replaced a 7900gs on my gaming PC and what a differnce it makes. Most DX10 games palys smoothly on the highest quality setting. The only problem is heat and power consumption. You should have a big case with good air flow as well as power supply of 450W or higher to opreat this card at its best.
Strengths: Single slot version 8800GT, G92 GPU
Weakness: No fan control
This video card has been performing wonderfully. Pretty much every game can run smoothly at maximum video settings. It's also nice and compact unlike the other 8800GT cards. It will only take up one motherboard slot and not block the slot below. The downside is that the fan is running at a fixed speed and does not change with GPU temperature. You will need to use software like Rivatuner to...
Strengths: New version of 8xxx series using Nvidia G92 chipset Decent 3years + extra 2 years warranty if register it 2nd Best VGA Card for the money right now after 8800GTS G92
Weakness: Uses reference cooler with very tiny fan that is hardly adequate cooling.
Its a 8800gt with a G92 core, the reference cooler is making me have reserve about buying it at first tho. I got it at a good price, guess get what you pay for. I would rather get the XFX 8800gt tho which has the best VGA warranty and XFX cooler is a modified upgrade version of the reference cooler.
Strengths: -Infinitely better image quality than my old x800xl. -Runs AA and CoD very smoothly -Includes 5 year warranty if you register online
Weakness: -Runs very hot (50-55 C idle) even with the fan @ 100%. -Uses two PCI slots, should have used dual slot cooling -At least when I got it, nVidia played distribution games that ran up the price.
Overall, I'm very satisfied. Gaming is a whole new experience with high IQ settings and resolution. I run CoD4 and America's Army @ 1280x1024 on all highest settings. Even during the most intense rendering moments, this thing never even hiccups. Unexpectedly, for me at least, this version has a newer, larger fan like some other brands. It still runs very hot, but the long warranty stops me from...

The new GeForce 8800 GT is not only considerably faster than the 8800 GTS, but amazingly it is also much cheaper.

Can't handle the heat
Strengths: made pretty pictures, while it lasted
Weakness: longevity, as in, lack of.
Saying the last words over the dead carcass that is my video card, I cant help but feel jipped. Despite the competitive price I paid for it, it died an untimely death less than a year after purchase, too late for any help from a limited warranty. I have a liquid cooled rig, though the graphics card wasnt part of the loop - so I relied on what appeared to be somewhat substantial fan cooling on the...
