Works Great!
(5 out of 5) by Old School on Jul 1, 2008 (Michigan)I ordered this card May 22, so I've been using it for little over a month now. This was an upgrade for me over the 8600GTS I was using.
I have had no problems playing any game on full graphic settings including Crysis. Some people cant always say that, but I also invested in an X-Fi audio card that has its own CPU, and I tweak XP so it runs as fast as possible without needless other programs or services running in the background. That helps my dual core AMD handle a high end game with this graphics card. Fraps may not be the highest perhaps as a quad core but I get all the eye candy and the game is more than playable. I'm using a Samsung BW245 24" widescreen with 1900x1200 resolution too.
The fact this card and most any other like it has 2 DVI outputs and can handle DX10 made it attractive for me to get and work into making a HTPC down the road, since its HDCP compliant.
Bottom line, I'm extremely happy for how it works with this dual core machine, and for the price at the moment, hard to beat. Probably even go down more this summer.

Best for the price right now
(5 out of 5) by OWEN on May 4, 2008 (OVERLAND PARK, KS)Andrew, do some research and you will see that it's an apples and oranges situation on those two cards.Read Al G's comments. Might help you get started. The 512 card is a better card.

Probably the best deal you can get in the spring of 2008
(5 out of 5) by AL G. on Mar 6, 2008 (VA, USA)First, this card is based on a new chip and is 40-50% faster than 8800GTS 640MB. Blame the wicked model numbering of NVidia.
Second, comparing to 8800GT, it's two slotted with heated air blowed outside, not inside the PC case - good thing.
Third, this particular EVGA model is a good deal - a bit overclocked (650 -> 670 Mhz) without being overly expensive.
This is the best card you can get under 300 bucks at this moment.

Good but expensive
(4 out of 5) by Andrew Strange on Feb 22, 2008 (Everywhere)Great card that you can practically do anything with. Only problem is cost. You can find a 640mb card for $299 elsewhere. If you have the $350 to buy this I would suggest searching around the internet for a better deal.
