you may need to factor in the cost of an aftermarket cooling solution to bring
both the noise and incredible heat down.
most 8800GTSs are silent.

Yes, this is a great card for the money, EXCEPT for one small problem - you will most likely not receive your rebate from Sapphire.
Despite knowing via these forums that Sapphire rebates were notoriously bad, I still persisted and bought this card. I followed every rebate instruction to the "T" and used a mailing option to verify the rebate submission was received. They still denied my rebate for, get this, failing to submit the rebate. What a joke ! When I called the rebate phone number and told them I had proof of submission & receipt of delivery they still would not grant me my $20.
So, plan on paying $179 for this card instead of $149, unless you get extremely lucky with the rebate.

one thing to note about Sapphire ... IF you ever need a RMA they have a $15 RMA "Processing Fee" SCAM on TOP of your usual expenses.
--of course, NewEgg exchanges it for the first year
