Strengths: the graphics are ultra nice while playing counter strike soruce, battlefield2, or call of duty.. one word that describes it all.. amazag.. :]
Weaknesses: none that i can think of.. one of the best cards you can buy today.. besides the 7800 gtx.. maybe the price.. it's $300 it was kind of pricey for me.
Overall: i would recommand this card to everyone.. it's kind of pricey but if you can afford it i would recommand you getting this card.. heck if your budget is bigger than mines was hell get the 7800gtx my friend has it and its awasome.. but seriously this card is graphics great and it works great with the games in the market today.. you won't regret it.. trust me!

Strengths: 7800 GT says it all! Plays nearly every game with all eye candy!
Weaknesses: None so far.
Overall: You really can't go wrong with any 7800GT card on the market. The two best IMO are XFX and eVGA. The eVGA CO edition slightly edges this one out with the copper cooling. But this card is no slouch! Run any game on all the higest settings and you will not be dissapointed. XFX also offers double lifetime warranty (means if you sell it, it transfers one time).

Strengths: factory oc, dual dvi, free copy of cod2
Weaknesses: can't oc much over the factory default.
Overall: i recommend this to others.the card performs decently, with 3dmark05 score in 7200 range with my x2 3800+, abit an8 sli, 2gb corsair value select. in my opinion, it runs cool, highest temp i have seen is 73c and it idles at around 42. i think the xfx metal bar helps spreading the heat a bit.nvidia optimal clock is only 461/1070 though i can push it more than that. running at factory default 450/1050 now.the bad thing is they shipped me the wrong part which has a molex power socket but a pcie 6 pin power connector in the box.spent a lot of time updating chipset/video drivers and that sovled most issues. can run cod2 and bf2 for hours now. occasionally locks/crashes but i suspect the mobo has some issue.

Strengths: Factory overclocked; cables and adapters included; double lifetime warranty; initial software bundle is so-so but it all made up with a Call of Duty 2 offer that came later
Weaknesses: None
Overall: Once you made up your mind to choose between ATI and nVidia according to your budget, where the feature and specifications of the GPU are pretty much standardized, it then becomes important to look at the bells and whistles from individual manufacturer where all the differences are being made. And I can say that XFX is probably one of the best. This 7800GT is factory overclocked (450MHz core instead of 400MHz; and 1.05GHz memory instead of 1.0GHz). True, the one from EVGA is overclocked even at a higher speed, but it is also more expensive. I bought this card back in September, at that time it came with Far Cry (and two other lesser known games), which are all a bit outdated. Then later they introduced an offer with EA for Call of Duty 2. Although I made the purchase so much earlier, they went ahead and sent me a free copy of the game as soon as it is publicly available. After spending $300+, it was a bit of the taste of sweetness that helped me to forget the pain in my wallet.

Strengths: Factory Overclocked - Very fast, Bundled with games, Accessories included
Weaknesses: None
Overall: This is a very fast graphics card. It's tested to be one of the fastest 7800 GT graphics card (This and BFG being the two fastest for the price)
