What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: every thing
XFX has some of the worst products out there ive had my 9600 for just a little more then a year and not happy the card shuts down on all of my games even the old ones. XFX support is the worst no number to call just e-mail. what do i mean when it shuts down well the screen goes balack and seas no signal. yet i can still hear what goes on in the game and on TS. avoid this card.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy setup, good price, no problems.
What's not so great: Can't find one
I have used XFX cards before in the past and this one doesn't dissapoint me. The graphics are awesome and the installation was a breeze. It is a big card, but I had no problems installing into my Dell E521.
The fan is loud on bootup and then is quiet afterwards. Not really a big problem for me and something I really don't notice anyway.
I can run LotRO, WoW, EQ2, GRAW2, DDO and Anarchy Online with no problems at all. I still have some problems running Warhammer Online, but thats because the game is a severe system hog.
The best feature of this product is the lifetime warranty and the ability to transfer that warranty to another person. After registering this card, I had found out that when I sold it to another person, they also get the warranty. I believe it's called a Double Lifetime Warranty and that comes in handy when I upgrade to another card.
All-in-all, I have been very impressed with this card and will continue to purchase XFX products in the future.

What's great about it: Runs all the new Games on High and great preformance
What's not so great: I found a sticker in the fan and made it very loud.
When ever you open the package look inside the fan area. I did it almost to late after a few weeks of loud and annoying sounds from the fan. There is a sticker stuck there pull it out with anything you can. This almost over heated my system and my card was about to destroy its self. After that my card ran WOW, Empire Total War, DOW2, and Crysis perfect.

What's great about it: Stable, Easy to setup, overclockable
What's not so great: Fan @ 100% is pretty loud.
This card, as stated by another reviewer, is very easily overclockable while it maintains stable temperatures. Windows 7 Beta rates it a 6.0/7 for gaming and a 7.9/7.9 for desktop/Aero effects. Runs Fallout 3, Hellgate London, and The Witcher Enhanced well above acceptable framerates. Not sure why XFX didn't just ship the card OC'd. If you have more flex in what you're willing to pay, The XFX 9800GTX is only $50 more.
Bottom line: Very nice for the price.

What's great about it: easy set up, good price
What's not so great: a little long barely fit in my midsize tower
Great card for games and a much better improvement from my 8400 gs. Runs cool at about 54C runs wow nice and you don't have bad frame rates in Dalaran. This card is definitely bang for buck and if you are wanting to play games without spending a lot of money this is a must get card. Also runs blu-ray nicely and smoothly.

What's great about it: Graphic power on a single core P4 processor was great
What's not so great: Fan is LOUD
For the 48 hours that this card worked, it was a GREAT investment. However, the fan was terribly loud and the XFX customer service never did get back to me on it. This morning a STICKER INSIDE THE CARD with the XFX logo came loose and jammed up the fan causing the card to burn up and fault out my entire computer. I am exchanging the card for a similar one, but it will not be XFX. For the time being, I had to go back to my old card to get the PC to boot up.
For anyone interested, google the XFX cards and check out what everyone else is saying. It's not just me having problems like this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easily overclockable, busts out the frame rates
What's not so great: XFX could juice up the power and keep the price
I've had this graphics card for 3-4 months. I have a good system (search dnrproductionsIL on youtube for my pc review) since my system is above average the games are going to run smoother. As for the graphics card, I tried to play Crysis and could only play it smooth on medium settings. So i searched for a way to overclock (OC) it. After doing it i'm running all settings on high and ultra high with rigid to smooth frame rates. All in all a cheap card but i don't understand why XFX didn't just OC it and use that as the regular card. oh well just go buy it.

This card is simply amazing and at this price, its pretty much unbeatable. It isnt' the most high end card but it'll get the job done. You'll be able to play all the newest games to mid - high settings. I noticed another reviewer said it need a six pin connector. OF COURSE, all the newer cards need it. But dont worry, if you don't have one then all you need is a six pin to molex adapter.

What's great about it: Rock solid 9600
What's not so great: Needs 6 pin power cables
I got the card today got it home and realized I needed to hook up the 6pin required power input. My computer is a mid shelf Dell E521 and did not come with the necessary cable to hook up the card. My older card was an off brand 7300GT and that burned out. If you have an older dell or any other non custom PC make sure you can actually hook up this beast of a card.
All this wouldn't be a problem for me if I didn't have to drive a full hour to get to the nearest Best buy.
If your not sure I'd just have Geek Squad do it.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: nothing...
I had a stock ATI HD 3450 card that came with my gateway computer. I had some issues with an BFG nvidia 8500 that i originally got, but ended up getting the XFX 9600. I had the Geek Squad at Best basically just put the card in, and my vista machine installed it's own drivers. I'm running a AMD 2.2 gig Quad Core, with 7 gigs of memory, and this XFX 9600 Beast. It's such an amazing card, it'll even turn me from a console gamer to more of a PC gamer. I was able to run Unreal 3 on a 1920x1200 resolution on my 28 inch monitor running on a dvi to HDMI cable, and max out all of the textures. the Frame rate is still amazing and the game just looks insane. I would definately be showing off my buddies what gaming in HD on a pc is really like. =)
