Product Description

Less Power Consumption, Same Great Performance The BFG GeForce 9800 GT with EcoIntelligence low power design reduces power consumption by up to 30% as compared to a standard GeForce 9800 GT graphics card. The EcoIntelligence version no longer requires a supplementary power connector from your power supply, yet still delivers the same great 9800 GT-class performance as previous versions.

This review is from: BFG BFGE98512GTGE NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card with EcoIntelligence Low Power Design (Personal Computers)

I recently had an NVIDIA 8800 GT video card kick the bucket on me and was unexpectedly in the market for a new video card.

I was skeptical of the "Low Power Design" and was afraid there would be a performance hit due to this, but in the end the price was right so I pulled the trigger and went for it.

I've only had this for a few days now, but I have given it a pretty good run through and am thus far very happy with how it has been performing.

The games I have used this with thus far include:
World of Warcraft
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands
Torchlight
Unreal Tournament 3

I run these all at max, or very high settings and I am seeing better performance than I was with my old card before it died on me. It certainly isn't the top end of video cards, but for the price I am very happy with the performance and if you don't want to shell out the big bucks for the latest and greatest video card this is an excellent choice.

Great graphic card if you want to replace any stock graphic cards. Visual quality is perfect. It will give you 5.9 ratings if you running vista. Basically perfect for any kind of work...photshop, maya, cinema 4d blah blah...it will take it pretty well. As of gaming i only will say this...get something better. Great card but it is getting old now. Drop another 80 bucks and get yourself some ati 4000 series.
