Strengths: graphic displays, design

Weaknesses: 512mb memory on a 256mb bus

Summary: Installed this card in a new home built system and to date, this unit has worked great. Too detailed to list and describe all the spec's but great card for the money. Only problem so far has been the OEM driver software included with the card, which was easily fixed by downloading the lastest driver from their site.

Strengths: Microsoft update

Weaknesses: Drivers not included on installation disk

Summary: There are no drives on the installation disk. It says to go to xfx website in order to get drivers. In order to get drives one has to register. This is the first time I've been ask by a product to reg

Strengths: Price

Weaknesses: None

Summary: XFX 8800GT GPU Alpha Dog core clock has been boosted to 670MHz and the memory clock jumps to 1950MHz to wring every last ounce of performance from the 512 MB ofGDDR3 memory. Of course, if that isn't enough juice you can add another card in SLI. The built in PureVideo HD Technology was specifically designed to enhance your HD experience. Built in hardware decode acceleration of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies provides a theater-like experience. The HDCP compliant dual-link DVI ports allow you to play your HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs. I have this card running in my HTPC on an ASUS P5Q Deluxe, E8400, Corsair Dominator, and LG BD working in complete Harmony. It is worth thinking about if you really want to play Crysis at high detail but not at the highest resolution. You can still get a decent experience at lower settings and all of the other games were more than playable at 1920 x 1200.
