Pros: Works great so far. I built a new system with this card, a Phenom II 940, 8GB G. Skill PC2-8500 ram, Zalman 850w ps, Sigma Phantom tower, and Seagate 1TB drive, all purchased from Newegg. I downloaded and installed Windows 7 RC and installed the beta drivers from Nvidia, as well as the beta drivers from Creative for the Audigy SE sound card, also from Newegg, as well as a GA-790X motherboard from Newegg. from Newegg.com Pros: Great Price as stated. Factory OC'd and as usual lifetime warranty. If your going SLI this may be your choice as long as the price stays low or lowers even more. Cons: No gaming or video edit bundle in the box. from Newegg.com Pros: Getting 20 FPS more per game. The richness of the colors was a welcome suprise to me. Was previously using a 3870 and this 280 does a better job handling color and texture. from Newegg.com Pros: GTX 280 OCX Cons: 50% bad productsNot a XFX XXX edition Other Thoughts: I bought 2 of these for Tri SLI and 1 of them is artifacting even on stock GTX 280 Speeds (602/1296/1053) from Newegg.com Turned everything on high/higher/highest settings (Assassin's Creed, The Last Remnant, Crysis (+ warhead), Unreal Tournament 3)... looks amazing, and no frame lag. SM 2.0 6397, SM 3.0 7959 on 3DMark06. Product registration is fast and easy on the website. from Newegg.com Pros: I have two of these BFG GTX 280's (purchased from NewEgg) running in SLI with an MSI 780i mobo, a Q9650 CPU, 4GB RAM, a Thermaltake 1000W PSU and a Samsung 30" LCD monitor. I run EVERYTHING in 2560 x 1600, including CoD:WaW, Crysis, Left4Dead, CoDMW, etc. from Newegg.com Pros: I had a 8800 GTX previously and this card did more than paddle its behind, it kicked it... kicked it real hard!On most of my games I couldn't max out everything with the 8800, usually just a few things. from Newegg.com Pros: Awesome FPS at 1920x1200 for anything I throw at it Cons: As previously mentioned, make sure you have a 1000+ Watt PSU. I had to upgrade from an 850 Other Thoughts: Q9650eVGA 780i4Gb DDR22 BFG GTX 280s OCX SLId1000 Watt Antec PSU2 WD HDDs(850 wasnt enough for 2 280s with this setup) from Newegg.com Pros: Awesome card. I run 2 in SLI at 1920x1200 and it handles everything I throw at it that is out right now like a champ. Cons: I had an 850Watt PSU on a 780i with a Q9650. from Newegg.com Pros: Clobbers my old GPU's, 75+ FPS in just about any game I try with it (UT3, COD4, Company of Heroes, MOH Airborne, etc.) Cons: Nothing to really test the cards metal, power hungry, 8 pin and 6 pin PCI-E power cables needed. Other Thoughts: Newegg rocks! from Newegg.com
