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.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing card!, August 18, 2009

I bought this card from here because the price was decent - I compared it with many other on line stores and with tax and shipping, this is decently priced.

I upgraded this card from a no-fan 7950GT xfx card.
Now I can run COD and many others in close to max settings.
Even my wife was stunned at how the games looked after installing this card.

Here are a few things that made me purchase this card.

1. Eco friendly card = this card does not require you to insert a power plug into the card - it does not even have a plug for it.

2. I have dell E521 case which is not a conventional case - I cannot get any video card that takes up 2 slots. This was the best single slot card out at the market (as of June 2009) in terms of the specs and everything. It's on the smaller side for card at this level.

3. I used to have no-fan 7950gt card which had no noise but it got really hot inside of the case and sometimes would affect the cpu fan because of the temperature increase - now I do not have such problem anymore.

4. under full load it does make some fan noises but it's not bad at all. pretty low humming noise

This card is SLI compatible but i don't have an sli compatible board. it's one of the best cards out there for budget, above mid-range performance video card. As of now, I run WoW, CoD5, Crysis at nearly max settings with above 40+ fps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality control, RMA was smooth via email., October 2, 2009

Decided to put this card in a low power pc I'm putting together. Seemed fine at first and I've been building/tuning the pc over time so I unfortunately threw the box away thinking it was ok (so I can't return it to amazon :-[ ).

It wasn't until about a week later I installed some games (left 4 dead, WoW) and wouldn't you know it, terrible tearing and artifacts all over the screen. I've done a 2 way swap with another video card just to double check it actually was the card causing the problem and it is.

Called their customer service several times and waited for over 25 minutes just for no one to pick up. Just sent them an email to set up an RMA. I'll let you know how things unfold...

I'm finished with the RMA process now which wasn't too bad so long as you do everything via email. Still pretty annoying that I had to pay extra money for something that should have worked in the first place.

Now that I have a fully functional card I'm quite happy with it. It takes very little juice and is basically silent while having decent power under the hood.

If possible I'd change my rating to 3 stars. -1 star for poor quality control and -1 for having customer support that is basically unreachable via phone. However, that's more of an overall rating for the company. I'd say the card is 5/5 stars. It's powerful, efficient, and quiet so it lives up to its reputation.
