 Extremely great graphics card for the price! December 2, 2008

I am a keen PC gamer, and I wasn't too sure whether to upgrade my current PC or buy a new one. Its easier to lose sight of what you already have, so I just wanted to cherish the PC i already have and buy a graphics card upgrade. I used to have a GeForce 7900GS, which was a superb card which came with my pc at the time (almost 3 years ago). But due to extreme overheating problems, and lagg, it was finally time to look at a new one.
At 16, I would say I am slightly more different to other people my age that I would usually hang around with, in the sense that I can pretty much identify all the parts in a PC, and i more so play my PC rather than Xbox 360.
So I found this card. I wasn't too sure it would fit the case and the power supply, but another review assured others that it will work with a dell 9150. Now i am pleased to say that all my games are pretty much lagg - free. It is much easier to play with this card, since there is an instant improvement. Loading times in games have been reduced, and the quality of all games are perfect.
The card is very BIG. The size that they said. But if you stack 2 DVD cases on top of eachother that is roughly the height of the card.
The card is obviously not 'the best of the best', but if you are looking for a worthy upgrade for gaming at a cheaper price, then you are looking at an extremely good competitor. It can be used in SLI mode, and it has a ball-fan for the upper-part and an exhaust fan on the bottom part for better cooling. The card is also really quiet (sometimes i think it aint even running). And if that isn't enough to satisfy, it even comes with a Free-game: Company of Heroes!
All in all, a great gaming card, but even better because of the price. Will beat any other card in that price range!
My PC Specs: Dell 9150 with 375 Watt standard power supply, 2GBRAM, 320GB SATA hard drive, Intel core 2 duo 3GHz processors, and now an XFX GeForce 8800GTS!
Great Card November 12, 2008

Bought this a few weeks ago after to upgrade from a 6800 that was dying fast.
What an amazing card, suddenly I can run games at or near full specs at 1920x1080 res. Also good for CAD.
Fits and works fine in my Dell Dimension 9150 running XP on the standard 375W psu. Although this is a little below the recommended power supply, the 12v rail has sufficient capacity and the Dell supplies are supposed to be much better than quoted.
I know this card is a little old now, but i'm still not quite sure why this card is so cheap compared to the competition - unresistable bargain :)
 Didn't Fit Into My Machine November 28, 2007

I bought this card thinking it would fit into my reasonably large case, but when I tried to put it in, it was just too big so am now trying to send it back and go for a smaller 8600.
This unit takes up 2 slots and is about 1.5 inches thick and a length of 220mm as stated in a previous review.
My Machine isn't small but it still didn't fit. I am not prepared to but a new motherboard and case, so am rather disapointed.
But anyway let that be warning to people like myself who aren't into the hardware, as much as the software.
The only way I can see this thing being put into a machine is if you custom build your own!

Very nice graphics card. It is long and I had to do some cable re-arrangement to fit it in. I am impressed by how quiet it is. It runs fine on my 400watt antec v2.0 psu.
Have only played CSS so far and the performance didn't seem that much better than my old 7600gt, but I believe this game is more CPU dependent. I tried to run BF2 on high at 1680x1050 by had stutter, which I am told is down to only having 1GB RAM. Soon to upgrade to 2GB which is essential.
Now i'm waiting for TF2, UT3, etc
