The beauty of current generation technology.
Strengths: Quiet as all get out. Extremely powerful card, runs all of today's games with complete ease. Great driver support from ATI
Weakness: Lack of a heatsink/fan solution leaves this card with a low overclocking threshold, and very high temperatures.
Note that while the card does run hotter than most, it's well within operating limits, and will not damage the card in any way. Running HL2 with maxed out AA and AF is a site to behold, especially when coming from ancient GF2 MX PCI technology like I was :).
BF2, HL2, Doom3, FarCry, Splinter Cell. ALL of it runs flawlessly. The x800 series is the real deal.

A POWERFUL CARD!
Strengths: CARD USES PIPELINE TECHNOLOGY (FANLESS) NOISE FREE!
Weakness: GETS A LITTLE HOT WHEN PLAYING LABORING GAMES BUT GOOD CASE FANS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE HEAT!
X800 HANDLES ANY OF TODAYS DOOM AND UNREAL ENGINES WITH EASE ! CARD IS A MUST TO HAVE AND WILL HANGOUT TOUGH WITH ANY CARD ON THE MARKET IN IT'S CATERGORY.

AWESOME CARD
Strengths: QUIET CARD DUE TO (PIPELINE) TECHNOLOGY.
Weakness: NO FAN ONBOARD CARD BUT GOOD CASE FANS AND VENTILATION WILL SUFFICE!
X800 IS A CARD THAT CAN HANGOUT WITH ANY CARD IN IT'S CLASS.CAN HANDLE UNREAL AND DOOM ENGINES WITH EASE.IT COMPARES TO A 6800 SERIES NVIDIA CARD BUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FACT THAT MY UNREAL TOURNAMENT SCORES (NG STATS)IMPROVED NOTICABLY.
