4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent card! Excellend price!, April 23, 2008

This review is from: XFX PVT88PYDE4 GeForce 8800GT 512MB Extreme 640MHz PCI Express x16 SLI Ready Video Card - Dual DVI / S-Video (Personal Computers)

I picked this up with a rebate so it was fairly cheap, though the performance is remarkable for the price. This thing kicks major butt in Crysis and pretty much anything else.

The one flaw it seems to have is a poorly programmed cooler that only speeds up once the temps have reached nearly critial ranges. I highy recommend reprogramming the fan controller settings in the bios or else using a 3rd part app to keep it cooler, especially for overclocking, which it is also excelent at. I was able to pull off 700/1000 up from 640/950! (and this model is already OC'd from 600/900 stock speed)

It does need a pretty good power supply, but i can run it just fine with a 305W in my Dell E521 without any issues, so make sure you have adequate amps on your +12v rail and you'll be fine. The single slot design works great with those dumb Dell BTX chassis' that do not allow for dual slot solutions to fit at all.

This review is from: XFX PVT88PYDE4 GeForce 8800GT 512MB Extreme 640MHz PCI Express x16 SLI Ready Video Card - Dual DVI / S-Video (Personal Computers)

This card was a huge upgrade for my system, and I'd recommend it to anyone at this price. I'd never installed a graphics card before, but it wasn't difficult. I'm playing every game i own at high framerates with every setting maxed out. I haven't tested it yet, but supposedly it can handle Crysis (by far the most demanding game out right now) at medium settings.

Important: Unless you already have a good one, expect to upgrade your power supply when you buy this. XFX recommends you use a 500 watt power supply (600w for SLI). Don't buy a generic one either, they are notoriously bad quality. A good one costs around $60 and up.

This review is from: XFX PVT88PYDE4 GeForce 8800GT 512MB Extreme 640MHz PCI Express x16 SLI Ready Video Card - Dual DVI / S-Video (Personal Computers)

This video card is a great card. It is easily overclockable if you so desire. The fan is rather loud and it gets hot, but knew that going into this purchase. After market cooling is always an option to address this.
Drivers have been abundant and actually purchased a second card for SLI.
I would recommend this card to any gamer that wants a good card that can handle all games out there today. (Crysis the usual exception, but when OC'd it can muster up pretty good FPS).
