eVGA GeForce 8800 GTSStrengths: Great performance Weakness: The card can be very hot and somewhat quiet, or somewhat hot and very loud, neither is appealing. Dual slot, long, power hungry. It’s DX10 compatible, and it easily handles every game I’ve thrown at it (most with max settings and/or antialiasing). If that’s what you’re looking for, this is a relatively cheap alternative to the 8800 GTX. The dual slot design does not do a great job of cooling: idle temps at stock speed are about 60C, and overclocking under load brings it up to nearly 90C. Manually adjusting fan...

Very Nice Video CardStrengths: The video card supports Direct X 10 for when Vista comes out. The graphics are very nice in Direct X 9 games as well. Graphics are stunning. and the memory on this bad boy is high. Weakness: Large and takes a lot of energy, but what do you expect for a top of the line video card If you really need a new video card upgrade I would recommend buying it now. If you have a newer video card and want to get a new one that will support Direct X 10 I would wait until the new Radeon version comes out so you can buy this one for cheaper or if the Radeon is better buy that. Other than that this card will give you no troubles. It ran on windows X64 edition and they had drivers on...

Not the GTX, but still a great DX10 card.Strengths: Perfromance, built solidly, temperatures are OK (once you fix the nTune settings and if you're not running them in SLI). Weakness: Size, ntune's poor fan setting cababilities (at least as of version 5.05), SLI creates heat issues (the cards are just too wide for comfortable slot spacing), and of course price. I finally received my 2 8800GTS's (via EVGA Step-Up program) to put into an SLI configuration. First thing I noticed is that they are quite a bit shorter than the 8800GTX (and only take 1 PCI-e power supply instead of two), but they are tall enough that putting them in an SLI configuration starves the top card for air. However, these cards are performance beasts. In a rig that had previously had...

Too HotStrengths: Lots of Mem, Lots of Speed, 96 pixel pipelines!!! Weakness: Thickness ofcard and heat-sink makes product almost unusable. I have two running in SLI mode, and the first butts against the next so the fan can't draw air, etc. Overheating causes crashes. There isn't a solution to the overheating due to the fact that SLI mode requires the cards to be extremely close so the SLI bridge will fit. If you're only purchasing one of these cards, then make sure you put it into your system in a way where the slot next to it, is wide open.

Good for HD DVD...sort ofStrengths: performance, can multi-task during HD DVD playback Weakness: No HDMI driver suuport (yet), had to rearrange pc case setup in order to fit I purchased this with the intent to play HD DVDs on my PC. Previously I had a Leadtek 6800 which stuttered, sometime refused to play due to no DHCP support, and absolutely destroyed crippled my pc performance. This card got rid of the stuttering, the DHCP issue, and enables me to multitask during HD DVD playback (I'm playing U2 Rattle & Hum while I write this). Now the bad...there is no HDMI...

Great Graphics Card!Strengths: Quiet, Great Graphics output, Weakness: Large, Takes up multiple slots, Expensive This isa great product. I have been using it for more than 6 months without any problems. It was very expensive when I bought it, but the price has dropped. It is definitely worth the money. I highly recommend this product.

An excellent video cardStrengths: performance and stability Weakness: price This is the best video card I have ever owned. Compared to my former ATI 1600 pro, it is much much much better. I could play any games with all the settings on without any problems. Price is a little bit high. It might be a good buy when this card becomes to cost around 200 bucks. Overall, however, I am fully satisfied, even though I spent more than 300 bucks.

EVGA 8800GTSStrengths: Huge memory(640MB), DirectX 10. Weakness: None so far. This is a great card to upgrade to. It's cheaper than the GTX and smaller too. I also got a $30 rebate. I am not running SLI, so that isn't a problem for me. I am still running XP Pro, all I had to do was pop it in and load the drivers and I was off and running. I would recommend this card to anyone wanting to upgrade to a DirectX 10 capable card.

One Card to Rule Them AllStrengths: 1280x1024 Resolution, Max Quality, AA, and HDR at 60+ FPS in all games. $200 Cheaper than GTX and only requires 1 power connector. Weakness: Expensive (Price of XBOX 360 w/ spare change left over). Takes up 2 slots. Not as fast as GTX. 640MB of video memory. Powerful. Quiet. This is a "Not So Lean But Mean 3D Rendering Machine". 1280x1024 Resolution, Max Quality, AA, and HDR at 60+ FPS in all games: Oblivion, Quake 4, Company of Heroes, etc. No lag on Windows Vista with the latest forceware drivers, even on Vista Ultimate with Dreamscene running in the background. Was just short enough to fit in my Antec Sonata II (may have...

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS | 640 MB
The GeForce 8800 GTS is an upper-tier model in Nvidias 8 series of mid-range, consumer desktop graphics cards. The SLI-ready 8800 GTS is available with 320, 512 or 640 MB of memory. With DirectX 10 support, even the 320MB GeForce 8800 GTS should run most of 2009s mainstream PC games with ease, although perhaps not at the highest detail settings, while the 640MB model would be more suited to...

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS: Unified Powerhouses
The GeForce 8800 GTX's performance was for more dominant. In every benchmark we ran, the GeForce 8800 GTX was clearly the best performer, and in some cases it doubled the performance of any of the previous generation, single-GPU powered cards. And it did so with superior image quality. There is simply no currently other consumer level video card that can come close to matching the performance of... TopAdvertisement

eVGA 8800GTS - Graphical Heaven
Strengths: Great graphics, eVGA lifetime warranty, can run DirectX 10 under Vista.
Weakness: Crappy vista drivers, Huge card taking up two slots on the motherboard.
I have owned four eVGA cards in my life and between the customer support and quality build of their cards, I will continue to be a patron. This card is just awesome. The graphics are breath taking and it runs pretty quiet for it's size. It does get warm, but there is an exhaust vent present, so that should help in cooling the card and keeping the pc case less hot. Plus the added thirty dollar...
