Pros: Price, heatsink and fan do not take up two slots Cons: heatsink and fan are not enough cooling to sustain gaming at high settings. I played wow on semi high settings,( shadow details turned all the way down) for about 45 minutes before the game errored. The video card, with fan set to 100% speed, was scorching hot to the touch. Just not worth the cash if you're looking to play serious games for extended legnths of time. from Newegg.com Runs circles around my BFG 8600GT OC. I can play everything at 1680x1050 with everything maxed out. from Amazon.com Installed in a matter of minutes. Have had ZERO problems with it. from Amazon.com I've had this card for over a month now and have yet to experience any problems with it. Runs Gears of War, The last Remnant, Left for Dead, Jericho, Bio Shock and Grid maxed out no problem (originally running a 6600). from Amazon.com Have had ZERO problems with it. Plays games like Sims 3, America's Army 3 (Unreal Engine), BF Heroes at max resolution. The card is perfect for computers that can't supply the 500W minimum of most high performance cards. The card draws power only from the PCI-E slot. from Amazon.com Mine died after working for about 10 minutes. Had to return it. from Amazon.com Runs circles around my BFG 8600GT OC. I can play everything at 1680x1050 with everything maxed out. from Amazon.com Pros: "Error 13/14 in my main video game and 3d modeling apps for a full year, even after I called and support wasn't helpful."I just wanted to make a comment on that ludicrous review. This card has not existed for a year. from Newegg.com Pros: - Short Length- Low Power- Actually benchmarks slightly faster than a stock 9800gt acording to reviews online. Cons: - PNY set the fan to run at under 40% by default and so I had to use fan control software to crank it up over 50%. from Newegg.com Pros: -Small-Quiet-Less power needed-Very efficient: I have to point this out because the card is running at a lower frequency (550Mhz) than a official 9800GT setting (600Mhz), yet not noticeably slower in performance. I don't play Crysis but I can tell you that Need for Speed-Shift can run at 1920x1080 4xAA everything high and have over 30fps on average. from Newegg.com
