Cons: no dx10?

Pros: Best value card
Comment:
This is well regarded as one of the best valued cards on the market. and I couldnt agree more.Its able to play everything at max soo far. the only major limiting factor is that it is not dx10. However it is a great card to tide you over to the next generation of gaming cards.

Cons: +For some people who are want no noise it's a tad noisy.

Pros: +Minimal noise, not noticable, acts up a bit during games but I've got the music pumping anyways.+Easy on the eyes!+Good bang for your buck!+Great OC'ing potential.
Comment:
Takes pretty much anything I throw at it and makes everything look b-e-a-utiful. I got this card for 140 + taxes and I LOVE it. Upgraded from an FX 5500 and I am just so pleased with this card if you can get a good deal on this card then don't even hesitate get this card! Still waiting on the MIR but I have good faith in BFG.Works seemlessly with 2GB of ram and AMD Athlon Dual Core +4200.Thanks NCIX for the great deal!

Pros: Awesome card for price
Comment:

Pros: Good performance for the money
Comment:
I've owned this card for 4-5 months, and I have yet to have any problems with it. It was decently priced when I bought it (about $235), and is good performance for the buck. It overclocked decently with no side effects like artifacting and such. If DX10 cards weren't begining to get pushed into the mainstream market I would definitely SLI this card.

Pros: Length of Warranty
Comment:
I love BFG cards...this another one of many that I have owned.I got it while there was a promotion on, so I got a very good price.The only complaint that I have is that the fan on the card kicks up a notch when gaming so that it can cool the GPU.

Comment:
I bought this card, from ncix, got it at 219 plus taxes, etc, got a 40 dollar mail in rebate, card is already over clocked by the manufacturer, runs like a charm, no issues errors or hassels at all, and my resource hog games run like a charm now. I love it, and its SLI, so ill keep it for my next PC as well :D

Cons: Fan could be quieter

Pros: Performance, looks decent
Comment:
Love the raw performance of this card, I can throw anything at it and it will just render it beautifully. When things really get going, the fan cranks up and gets kinda noisy - the rest of the time, it's pretty quiet. Stable, fast, can't really complain.

Cons: -With the new big games like Supreme Commander its not enough.

Pros: -Good budget card for DX9-You can OC it decently well
Comment:
Due to a failure in my old 6600 GT, I updated to this card. Overall it provides about double the fps according to benchmarks. The big downside with this card is the fact it does not play big games very well like Supreme Commander. I run Supreme Commander on the absolutely lowest settings on a dual core 3800+ and I still lag in big battles. Due to the sale and the rebate bring this card to 180$, I give it 5 stars for its value.

Cons: As always, the rebate program is a pain.

Pros: Very good performer. Has a $40 rebate. Uses actual NVIDIA drivers, not 3rd party. Overclocked higher than specs.
Comment:
If you are lucky enough to catch this board on sale then don't think twice about getting it. Once installed I immediately checked out the clock speeds on this and found out the engine clock is actually running at 540 Mhz with the memory clock at 660. That's even higher than BFG boasts. This card replaced an EVGA 6600 and the difference was amazing. One thing I did notice was that my 1.8Ghz cpu is not enough for this card. Overclocking to 2.2Ghz had very little effect on my benchmark scores with the 6600 card but really improved the scores with this 7900GS. My only conclusion is this card wants a faster processor. Naturally I have a new 3800 on order. Buyer beware when it comes to the rebate.

This is A1 quality Video Card that you can almost throw any PC game in it and won't be disappointed.If you use two of them together on the same motherboard the result is even better.

Cons: The stock fan is very noisy when running 3D games.

Pros: Very good value for the price.
Comment:
This 7900GS that I purchased in January, 07 cannot be unlocked to 7900GT, but it is still a very good card for the price. The stock fan is very noisy at high rpm, it is unacceptably loud for me. I must buy another vga cooler to replace the stock one due to the noise issue.

Comment:
This is a great card with an excellent price to performance ratio. In benchmarks it seems to come quite close to the more expensive 7900GT, especially this BFG version with its high core clock. I'm tempted to buy another one to put into my SLi capable motherboard!

Cons: - I have yet to come accross one, this card is everything I expected it to be and more.

Pros: - Affordable- Amazing dollar per performance ratio- Factory Overlocked- Great upgrade from older generations of cards
Comment:
I just upgraded from a Nvidia 6800GS to this 7900GS OC. I instantly noticed an improvement in games. With my 6800GS I got an average fps of 110 in the Source Video Stress Test, with this card and the exact same settings I achieved 151.4fps. Which was a substantial improvement for me. I believe this card is one of the best in value for the performance it achieves.

Cons: The rebate took a solid 4 months to get and there is just no reason why any company should take that long to settle up. I really would avoid any rebates with BFG

Pros: Good boards, they can take some overclocking with a good cooler and they smoke on the newest Nvidia Beta driver. Support is as good as it gets with easy access 24/7 to a tech
Comment:
I have had no issues with these boards although I installed two Zalman coolers as the stock version are anything but an overclocker's dream. They are stable, Nvidia boards are good in whatever flavour you get them in. I like these as well as any I've had although the BFG 7950 board I bought was dead out of the box so they do have some control issues as there were no damages to the box and the way they pack them can almost guarantee it was not damage caused by shipping as their tech wanted me to believe. I have to recommend this board as it is good but recommend sending your rebate via registered mail and don't expect a cheque in the mail for at least 4 months.

Cons: It's power hungry, so make sure your power supply can do 22 Amps on the 12 Volt Rails.

Pros: Plays most games at maximum settings at high resolutions.
Comment:
Very easy to install, and very fast. I can play all Source games maxed out at a locked 60 fps and at 1680 X 1050.Incredible card for the price as there are 7600 GT that are more expensive, but not as powerful.

Comment:
This card is a good deal. It offers almost all the features of its more expensive counterparts at a fraction of the cost. A must buy for those who need a cheap way into playing current and next gen. games.
