Asus F8P Christmas Edition

Advantages: brilliant flawless card! arguably powerfulller then the 8800 gtx
Disadvantages: still not considerably more powerful

...Feel as if you need a new ATI Radeon Graphics processing Unit? I highly reccomend this one! its not as powerful as the Nvdia 8800 GTX in some of the stats, but its different in a lot of ways Gaming companies preferably use the excellent ATI GPU's because they find them more flexible for them and for the consumers. and that is why its worth getting this gpu. It is absoloutly flawless with any game or with any video editing process. The things that happen within this gpu, are truly quite amazing. It morphs and moulds to the game and gives you the best possible results. this is the MAGNIFICENT ASUS version. truly a marvelous contendor to teh long standing nvidia 8800 gtx. i highly reccomend this ati card out of all the 3850's. this is hte most stable and probebly edges slightly more powerful then the 8800 gtx. A MUST 100% BUY!... Read review

Design: The main issue with this motherboard is its design. Don’t get me wrong – it looks good, not that it matters considering it’s going to be hidden away in your computer... Read review
