Pros: Capable of good performance on the graphics, but that's what you'd expect for two 9600 GTs. Cons: Unacceptable stock cooling. from Newegg.com Tends to break on average every half a year. Tech support is pretty good, but can get annoying at times. (They do not seem to get it that power supplies do not come with 26A 12V rails, there is no need to have 312W on a single wire - it's more efficient to have multiple 12V rails at 18A. If PNY9600GT blank screens randomly and PNY9800GT does not, it's not my chipset drivers). from Newegg.com Pros: Decent Performance at a good price Cons: Doesn't work with latest Nvidia drivers version 185.85 or later - no video. Older driver versions work ok. from Newegg.com Stock cooling is terrible. I underclocked it to about 75% of what it normally runs at and it *still* can't keep itself cool. The Icing on the cake is PNY's terrible customer support. Other Thoughts: Stay away from the 9600GTs in general. from Newegg.com Plays all the games I need it too. Cons: Runs hot while playing games. But I'm running on 2 fans in the case, and the video card fan usually runs at 9% or so unless I need to turn it up while playing crysis or another high graphics game. So for my setup it isn't to much of a con since I should have better fans. from Newegg.com I bought this product back in December of 2008 and since then I have had to return it to PNY for RMA replacement three times. I am currently running on the fourth card. from Amazon.com I thought it was a driver problem until I saw all the bad reviews here and felt how hot the card became. That is unacceptable. I had to upgrade to a GTX 260 and all is better now Other Thoughts: where is the quality control PNY? from Newegg.com Pros: It's a video card... Well, when it runs, it runs great, looks great. from Newegg.com Pros: For the bucks - it does the job - drives dual displays, chips temperatures reported are about what I have experienced. Was able to reduce temperature of video chip significantly by reducing resolution from 32 bits to 16 bits (and I did not notice any difference on high resolution monitors - 1920 x 1200 - top rated) but then again my typically application is not photographic work. from Newegg.com Pros: - Price was good for the performance Cons: - Fan deteriorated and became loud- Length of unit makes it hard to fit in case- Black screened in 2 games Other Thoughts: I've had my card for about 6 months, and have had random black screen freezes. I originally thought this was a driver/game issue, but I had a second game where it happened consistently. from Newegg.com
