Nice upgrade from 6800GTStrengths: Great performance, shorter than GTX and only uses one PCI-E plug Weakness: Not a GTX, takes up two slots Coming from a PNY 6800GT this is a huge improvement in play value. It's pricey, but from what I've been seeing in game usage it's a big bump up. Oblivion can now be played at 1600x1200 with everything turned up and the framerates stay nice and fluid. Checked out FEAR at 1600x1200 with everything turned up and my lowest framerate was 48fps. Not too shabby! 88% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Physical dimensions of this card are hugeStrengths: Great performance if it fits in your pc. Weakness: Not much good if it doesn't fit. The fan and heat sink case bolted onto the circuit board are huge, making this card 1.5" thick. It is also 9.5" long. The card's metal plate that covers the opening/slot on the back of the PC is not tapered like a normal graphics card. The result is that this card will not physically fit in many PCs. Check the dimensions carefully before you spend $400 on this card. MacMall will rip you off by charging a 15% re-stocking fee if this card doesn't fit your PC (at no fault of yours). 9% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Apr 9, 2007 no, it is your fault for not researching the dimensions of the card before buying it. practically every e-publication makes mention of these 8800's enormous proportions, and any reputable e-tailer will have the measurements noted in the product specifications. plus, why would you buy a pc product from a mac-centric establishment?

Oct 6, 2007 why would you give the card a bad review for it's dimension ??? It's your own lack of research that resulted in the restocking fee!

Great price for a great card!!
Strengths: Cheaper than the 8800 GTX, Great upgrade from an ATI x800, DX10 and SLI ready, Great price.
Weakness: BIG CARD, A little louder than earlier generation vid cards, Runs a little hot with stock fan settings. (Recommend either a case with more than 3 fans or water cooling.)
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR CASE WILL ALLOW THIS CARD TO FIT.
At 9 inches long, this card is a monster. Do your research or you'll have the same problems with the card as the 1 star reviewer. It's your fault if it doesn't fit due to lack of research.
This card is a must have for those who are planning to upgrade, but aren't interested in spending the $ for the GTX.
Plus it's DX10 ready so you'll be a step ahead in anticipation for next generation games.
