c Ccwerecommend Pros: First this thing is huge but if you have a big enough case thats not a con. Runs almost every game at 1920x1200 without a hitch. OC'ed to 675/1040 with the Thermalright HR-03 cooler. Made my Vista experience rating better. Will water-cool the system in time and get another one of these cards when the price drops a little for a nice SLI setup.
Cons: Very very very hot. Before I installed the TR HR-03 heatsink the temps were idle at 70c-75c and load were 85c-90c+. Thats freakin rediculous. The 8800 GT and GTS 512mb get almost the same if not better benchmarks for $100 ~ $200 less the price. But if you game over 1650x1080 then those cards fall short. Also needs two six pin power instead of just one.
Other Thoughts: After installing the thermalright HR-03 and taking the side of my case off to help heat disipation it gets 43c idle and never goes over 60c after endless hours of gaming. I would recommend the HR-03 for anyone who is getting the temps I was with stock HSF. Only problem is you will take up all your PCI slots. All in all a very nice card that only crysis and a couple other games really take advantage of. But when playing anything at 1920x1200 you will need a high powered GFX card.

Pros: Plays anything I can throw at it on maximum settings, easy to install and setup. High quality HD out to my 32" Sharp Aquos HDTV. Amazing visuals on COD4 and F.E.A.R.
Cons: Heat. Easily manageable by taking direct control of the onboard fan and cranking it to 100%, idles at 60C, under load up to 75C on COD4. Runs quite hot with stock fan alone on automatic control (75C idle, 90C+ under load). If noise is a non-issue use direct fan control to 100% and temperatures run comfortably, otherwise buy an aftermarket fan and heatsink (I recommend Zalman for both)
Other Thoughts: Great card, you get what you pay for.

Pros: OH YEAH!!!!!! I love this card! Crysis poses NO THREAT to this thing! (graphics maxed) RUNS PERFECT! Im used to a little noise as my case has 5 fans in it (still not very loud btw) so I'm actually doubting I even hear the cooler on this card. I highly recommend this video card!!
Cons: Not a single one as of yet....
Other Thoughts: I need a second one to run in SLI!!!!!
My set up has 2 250 seagate drives in raid 0, a Q6600 quad core cpu, 4 gigs of kingston hyper x ddr2@800mhz (sli rdy), BadAxe2 motherboard, THIS VID CARD, vista 64 bit home premium and it pretty much ROCKS everything I've thrown at it without a hiccup! Blazingly fast and incredibly stable from one end to the other!

Pros: Very fast card and installation was quick. Haven't had any problem with it so far. I had to download drivers for it on their site because the install cd didn't work for 64-bit.
Cons: It does get warm and is a large card but this is pretty normal for these type of cards. Right now with no special cooling device it runs at 62C.
Other Thoughts: Thermaltake Armor, AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400+,G.Skill 4GB, ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe, Seagate 500gig, Rosewill 850W PSU, XP Pro 64bit

Pros: factory speeds are almost the same as the 8800Ultra, and with good cooling they easly overclock past them. I have a Antec 900 case and it provids plenty of airflow. I have 2 in SLI and max out everything with these cards.
Cons: Just like the other 8800s these cards are huge. make sure you have enough space in your case. I had to move some cables around when I put in the second one. The price is high considaring the 8800GT is so cheep.
Other Thoughts: If you'r thinking of getting an Ultra i'd recommend getting this instead. Also the 8800GT has close specs. to a GTX and its only $250-$300.

Pros: it runs everything crazy settings man. no lag ever
Cons: OVERHEATS!! make sure you have a cool case or a pci fan because this thing gets to over 78c under load and often shuts my computer down
Other Thoughts: as long as you have some kind of fan pointed directly on it you should be fine...very good card
intel e6850@ 4.0 ghz air cooling, 4 gigs of g-skill ddr2 800 ram, transformers case, 680 watt psu, this grx card===5.9 windows experience index rating : )

Pros: Excellent. My FTP is unreal. Note: Studies show that Xp benchmarks games higher than vista. True utilization of dx10 will come in time.
Cons: NONE, if do your homework.
Other Thoughts: Consider before purchasing 1) Powersupply - i recommend thermaltake VGA as a supplement. This will save you tons of money. 2) Heat dissipation - Either watercool this heat despensing monster or buy an atx case like nemesis which comes with 3X 120mm fans.
