    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: warranty

    Weaknesses:None yet

    Overall Evaluation: This is one of the best 8800GT card. It has dual DVI port which can be used for split displays. Its build quality is solid. It is fast and can handle almost any games currently available. It has also been factory overclocked so you don't need to do so. The fan can be very loud at times. The best part of this card is the lifetime warranty. Overall, I recommend it.

    Duration of ownership: 6 Days

    Strengths: G92 core, GDDR3 memory.

    Weaknesses:Needed BIOS update.

    Overall Evaluation: I upgraded from an AGP ATI Radeon card in my old rig to my first ever nVIDIA card in my new rig. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this card. When I was shopping for a new card, I found this card to be the best in price and performance. This class of card can easily be had for a Franklin and a Grant. This card ran especially hot, so I scoured the net and found that my card needed a BIOS update. It's available on BFG's website, but not very easy to find. First find the product on-line and then click on the Support tab. I've got this card running on the stock 350W PSU in my Dell Quad Core Inspiron 530 and all my games look spectacular on my 22" Samsung 220WM monitor. I highly recommend this card!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: FAST. Factory overclocked. Getting cheaper! This card provides the most GPU power per $ in the history of video cards...no lie. And you can run two of them in SLI if you really need to. But who would?

    Weaknesses:Single slot so runs hotter than a 2-slot cooling system. Stories of the sticker peeling off the cooling fan and jamming the motor scare me. May need a bigger PSU if yours is only 300-350 watts.

    Overall Evaluation: The 8800GT cards were $300 (or more) when they first walked the earth, and were worth every dollar in terms of GPU muscle. Nothing could touch their performance. Now, thanks to a series of new card releases and competition between ATI and nVidia, consumers are reaping the benefit. Cards of this ilk have fallen to half (or less!) of their original price.This model comes (slightly) overclocked from the manufacturer, a modest benefit since you can always overclock the card yourself with the right software. Does run on the warm side if your case doesn't have good ventilation. And be prepared to upgrade your PSU if you're down in the 300 watt range or less.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: fast, 1 of the best bang for the buck cards, can play many games at full quality

    Weaknesses:none so far

    Overall Evaluation: it's a great card, i can play all of today's games at at least descent quality, only thing is i'm not sure if it will fit in smaller cases, this card IS pretty long

    Duration of ownership: 45 Days

    Strengths: excellent performance, good warranty

    Weaknesses:loud fan

    Overall Evaluation: i bought this card to replace my old X1950 pro. It is blazing fast, i played everything with MAX settings - COD4, NFS prostreet, PES 08... Crysis maxed out its settings at around 20 fps, but if i use high instead of ultra high, then it jumps to around 30 fps. by the way, my CPU is E2180 OC @ 3.4Ghz, resolution 1650x1050, no AF/AA. Awesome card! the only downside is that the fan is loud. I replaced it with Accelero S1, with (2) Yate Loon 120mm. Can't hear a thing!
