Now it is causing conflcts and errors. Can't return it after 30 days so I am stuck. Trying to deal with Sparkle now, but there is no customer service to speak of. Don't buy this product. from Newegg.com Pros: None that I can think of. Though Newegg was very nice, good customer service Cons: Attempted to install this card, upon loading the drivers my PC now blue screens at start up. My previous card was a Gforce card also, so I don't see how this conflict happens. from Newegg.com while playing graphics-intensive games, but I chalked it up to the fact that I was running the games at high graphics settings. Cons: Week 2: it starts to fail. My computer randomly locks up requiring hard reset. System stability goes bye-bye. from Newegg.com Pros: Affordability (if it had been what it should have been) Cons: I also received a defective card that would run fine in Windows but threw out artifacts in games and would lock up the whole system requiring hard reset. It also threw Event ID 14 nv errors in Event Viewer regularly. from Newegg.com Pros: Card is much shorter and slimmer than the other 9800 GTX+ cards. Has HDMI out. from Newegg.com Cons: I would play COD 5 and the screen most the time would like kinda like a movie in the theatre with all the fuzz on the screen and the little lines on the film showing throughout the movie.. It does this atleast 70 - 80% of the time. On day 3 i turn my computer off to go out to eat and come back home and video wont work at all so i had to switch over to my onboard video. A few hours later i try it again and it works.. from Newegg.com Product came in a nice package and was wrapped well. Cons: Non stop problems from the start. The video card would was showing massive artifacts in any 3d game. After replacing my power unit thinking it was the cause, come to find out it didn't. from Newegg.com Pros: A great card (when it works). Good 3D capabilities, an awesome bang for your buck. from Newegg.com Pros: Amazing card, zero issues, going to buy another for SLI. Cons: None from Newegg.com Pros: Its inexpensive and with a moderate amount of maintenance it performs pretty well. Cons: All the cons are the same ones that other people have mentioned: the card overheats at factory settings causing wild texture stretching. I had to lower the clock to 700 to get stability. from Newegg.com
