What's great about it: Good price, was easy to install What's not so great: nothing
"this is my first pci-e-16 card in this computer and it performs great. The install took 20 minutes, (i have a 600 watt PSU.with the 6 pin power plug) My MOBO is EVGA 16i with 3.4 cpu and 4 Gig ram. Monitor is 19" Hanns. It runs Crysis smooth no problem, the fan is quite and cool running. It turned on Aero Vista, and adds some other games from the OS."

What's great about it: Awesome Graphics for price What's not so great: video card is big, need flat screen monitor for best video results
"The video card is rather big, but i didnt have any problems installing it. Just make sure that if you buy one, that you have a PCIE 16x slot. (It is different from a PCIE 1x). The only problem with the card is it works best with a flat screen monitor. I am currently using a Philips 107S. The Philips is about 7 years old, but it still works great. However, the video card, for reasons beyond my ability to explain, makes everything blurry. But that is only when browsing the internet or doing anything on the desktop. Playing games, the blurryness goes away and the game quality is superb as i can peg graphics settings on games like Fallout 3, Half Life 2 Ep2 and Command and Conquer 3. I was able to determine that the card works best with a flat screen because my brother in law brough over his ACER 19" flat screen and all the blurryness went away. And the warranty is great too, just make sure you register within 30 days from when you buy the video card."
BFG is a great reliable company.

What's great about it: Its a BFG life time warranty What's not so great: Size
"If your pc is tight on space make sure you check the dimensions. however if it fits in my pc it should fit in most others. the fan is a little loud but not to the point where it is bothersome or distracting. The installation is old hat for me. It was a tight fit, you may have to plug in the power source first. possibly get an extra set of hands to help hold cbles out of the way, if you do not feal like moving them.
this is a Great card for price. it is no chump card, but it isn't uber max either."

What's great about it: good price, no problem running any new games, OC good bonus What's not so great: pretty big
"I bought this card to replace my 8600 gt xxx and i am very happy that i did, despite the fact its HUGE this thing doesn't even break a sweat when playing call of duty world at war, or any of my games (too many to name) i dont have the recommended psu though im using stock 350 watt so i know im not even experiencing the full force of this monster im upgrading that later, the fan runs very quiet had to keep checking to see if it was actually working a few times, it manages to stay reasonably cool 61 C on idle and i seen it hit about 74-76 full on gaming. cant seem to overclock it too much than it already is though can only bump it up a few notches before it starts giving blue/black screens great card though (could be cause of my psu though not sure) but i am very happy with this buy"

What's great about it: easy to install and setup What's not so great: had to move my HDD as this card is HUGE
"prior to installation i had to move my HDD as this is a huge card. my HDD used to sit right behind the primary PCI-E slot. a simple HDD relocation and i was set. if you cannot move internal components around, as in HDD, cables and such, to make room for the video card you will need someone who can. other than that, this card is an excellent buy !"
What's great about it: runs cod wow in full What's not so great: its big
"this card is great can run call of duty world at war on full spec.it is a huge card that's the only down fall its so big it covers up one of my pci express slots and that sucks"
What's great about it: runs games at high rez like COD4 and a lifetime limited waranty What's not so great: Price compared to other similar cards the oc is only a small margin fo gain
"the company bfg has a great waranty and the card does a greart job with games and supports directx 10"
What's great about it: Easy to install What's not so great: don't know yet
"I bought this for Microsoft Flight Simulator 10 and it's supports directX 10! I only had it for a short wait but it seems to be doing the job. If you get it, remember to plug in that little extra power pin it has. It needs more power that the connector has. The instruction does talk about it."

What's great about it: Great architecture and speed What's not so great: a little pricey compared to other thing
"Great video card! This thing will play anything from COD 4 on full specs or crysis on high spces. It was a breeze although the card is a little big and runs hot. Also a little pricey compared to the 4850 for 150 but great all the same. It even comes slightly overclocked."

What's great about it: Plays COD4 at full specs, Plays Crisis on Full Specs What's not so great: None really, I just wish they came with their own PSU but that will be in the future
"I have this card already, I repurchased so I can finally get Dual SLI, yeah it is insane, but at this price I can play the future games to come for sure without buying a card in a long while. I LOVE THIS CARD!!!"
