Strengths: you get what you pay for in this deal. a 6800 graphics processor for well under $200, compared to when they first came out. this is a really good deal.
Weaknesses: none as of yet.
Summary: for me i wanted a 6800 GPU but didnt want to pay an arm and a leg for it. when i came across this bad boy my heart literaly leaped out of my cheast. comparing this to my friends 6800gt, even though i payed a lot less but his is still better, the 6800 xt is right on its heels. since buying this product i have determined to buy another one to complete my SLI rig in a couple of weeks. not to mention that the heat sink fan on this thing is super quiets compared to the fans of the evga 6800 gt. if noise is an issuse when you build a rig, i highly reccomend getting this card. the value and the pride of having a 6800 GPU, no other deal can beat it.

Strengths: Great Price, sli capable, dual dvi, pci express.
Weaknesses: Large size, needs better cooling, I added fans in pc to compensate.
Summary: WOW, what a board for the price, very simple to set-up and install. Nice gaming board works well for Oblivion. DDR3 ram increases speed nicely. Passes nvidia nzone test with flying colors.

Strengths: Great card for the money. Was able to OC the card to 478/1254 on stock cooling. The card does reach up to 63c at these clocks though, but so far it runs stable with no artifacts.Great performance for the cost. Definately recommend for the budget gamer.
Weaknesses: The card only has 12 pixle pipelines.
Summary: I highly doubt you'll find a better card for under $xxx(after the rebate). Jaw dropping performance and I didn't have to pay $xxx to get the results! I highly recommend this card!

Strengths: Great price, Great card.
Weaknesses: None as of yet...
Summary: The price was well worh it...picked up two of these beauties to add to a ABIT Nl8 SLi board with a 3.4 Pentium.
The $10 mwave instant reabate plus the $35 manufacturer rebate make it very easy on the wallet. Anyone looking for a soild and affordable graphics solution should check this one out.

Strengths: Dual DVI, quiet, performs well, good price
Weaknesses: No Bundled games
Summary: Nice looking, quiet card, performs well on my athlon 64 3200+ micro ATX system. Good Price. Lack of bundled software not an issue at this price. Install instructions adequate. Came with dvi-vga adaptor as well as other interface hardware. Would recommend.

Strengths: Easy to install, well built, great performance, good price.
Weaknesses: Needs extra IDE power connector to give enough cooling
Summary: I bought this graphics card to replace the stock low-end bundled unit included with my new Dell desktop. It works great, and the included VGA analog adapter was a nice touch considering the Dell didn't come with a DVI cable. The GF 6800 card is physically large and beefy, with an ample heat sink and cooling fan. There's an IDE power plug to be used to supply extra power for the cooling unit, but the Dell's power supply doesn't have an available plug close enough to use. That slowed me down until I could find an alternative, which was a bit frustrating. A longer power dongle included with the GF 6800 would have solved this problem a lot faster and would ensure instant compatibility with a wider variety of computers. The XFX $35 rebate was a nice discount to receive and placed this DDR3 card just under $100 delivered. That's a lot of graphics performance for the money and gets a big thumbs up from me.

Strengths: Are you kidding? It kicks b***
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Bought this card and was thrilled with the performance until my power supply burned up sending a voltage spike that killed my 6800 XT. I replaced it with a BFG 6800 GT. BIG mistake. The XT is in a different league. I have tried over-clocking the GT but still can't get the performance of the XT version. Now somewhat dated but this card is still awesome.

Strengths: Excellent price AR. Easy setup. Very quiet. Decent fps in games for this level card.
Weaknesses: None found yet
Summary: You can't beat the performance in this level card for the price after manufacturer's 35 rebate. The setup was simple and it has good fps in HL2 and DOOM3. It's in my carry-about LAN party system and while it doesn't do as well as my primary dual SLI 6600 system, it holds up very well. Another reviewer's comment about quiet is bang on--this is a great power card without the screaming fan found on others. You can't go wrong with this card.

Strengths: Price performance ratio
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Not sure how well this works since I don't play much gamees. Bought this since my MB supported and SLI configuration. But don't think I'll be upgradeing to a multi cpu version. Otherwise, for everythign else I do, i.e. standard MS office stuff and photo-editting, this board works just fine.

 probably a good video card, but how would I know... can't make it work Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: Installation manual is totally lame. First, it doesn't describe the right card (speaking of an ADP or PCI bus, while this is a PCI Express card). Next, it doesn't describe the various cables coming with the card, nor the connectors on the card. Finally, there is no troubleshooting section whatsoever. I have no doubt it's a great card, but the product packaging is one of the worse I have ever seen.

Strengths: Price
Weaknesses: Too many menus's
Summary: Very satisfied with this video card. Have used it for two months with a Abit AW8-MAX and a Samsung 930b LCD. Colors and sharpness very good with default settings. I am sure it could be better if I got into the finer menus settings. Happy the way they are.

Strengths: EASY TO SETUP
Weaknesses: NO SLI POWER CONNECTOR HAD TO USE REGULAR ONE
Summary: I DEAL IN ALL KINDS OF SYSTEMS. buTTHIS IS THE CATS MEOW. SIMPLE SETUP. i BOUGHT 2 FOR SLI AND THE GRAPHICS ARE PHONOMINAL. And HD too. Its compatable with Nvdia vista ready and high end future graphics from Win vista. And yes beefey is a cood term -nice and solid. I am liquid cooling card with kingwin 3000 and temps run constant 40c. I am a gamer and push the cards. so for less than 300 i am running 1GB of GPU dual. and matched with corsair 2g 6400 cl4. its cherry.
