Pros: Pretty sticker? BFG sent me a new card fairly quickly (that was even worse than the one I sent them). Cons: Card failed, instantly powering down my system in seven minutes while running any 3D game, from Quake 1 (yes, Quake ONE) to TF2. from Newegg.com Pros: Good quiet card right out of the box, the GPU fan is temperature controlled which is a plus coming from my 8800GT/GTS cards. I did get quite a boost of about 10-20fps in some games when coming off my 8800GTS, the construction is pretty nice, Blue PCB matches the blue of my Gigabyte motherboard. from Newegg.com Pros: Good price and you get a 20 pesos mail in rebate. Cons: I had the GeForce GTX 260 on my XPS 710 and It was flashing my screen all the time when I was working on PS even with the latest drivers from Nvidia ( I think the problemo was my PSU only 750 watts ) and now with the 250 I don't have the flashing thing anymore. from Newegg.com Pros: This card is great. It may be the same as the 9800, but the reduced size, and greater power efficiency is worth the little extra. from Newegg.com Pros: I got it with a $20 rebate and free CoD:WaW. Net cost: $130. from Newegg.com It's telling me the manufacturing tech is 65nm. if this is a rebadged 9800 GTX+, it should be 55nm. Did BFG just pull a fast one by giving me a rebadged 8800 GTS or 9800 GTX (no +)????? utterly disappointed. from Newegg.com Uses Less power yet does not underperform if comparing to the GTX+. No artifact issues whatsoever using the lastest nvidia drivers. If you register the card within the 30 day timeframe, you can trade it in for a 260, 275, 280 or 295. Cons: None at the moment... from Newegg.com I've bought alot of items from Newegg, and all of them met my expectation if not exceeded them until this... abomination, came along. At the time I bought this product I was using a Nvidea 8600 GTS. THE 8600 IS FASTER (roughly 10fps faster at the same settings) THAN THIS GRAPHICS CARD! from Newegg.com Pros: +card replaced a broken asus 9800gt ultimate+newegg replaced this broken card with this one because they no longer carry the 9800gt ultimate+card performs very well actually, I was surprised at the 1080p resolutions that I run at.+ran tf2 with everything all the way up even the 16AA Cons: -for a friend of mine he runs at 1280X1024 crt so this is perfect for him. Other Thoughts: awesome. from Newegg.com Pros: Price and performance. Step up from my 8800 GT. It can acoording to most sites be ran in SLI with a 9800 GTX+. Cons: None I just wish people would research before bagging on a product. from Newegg.com
