Pros: Owned this card for around a year now, never had a single problem with it. Ive been able to run Crysis at full settings with only minimal FPS lag. I have world of warcraft set to ultra video settings and i easily still get 50-60 fps. Totally awesome card, cant beat the price

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Physical size of the card is huge

Pros: none so far

Cons: Card was defective on arrival - fan would spin out of control on Windows boot and games were rendered with artifacts and virtually unplayable.

EVGA didn't want to RMA until I tested card in different machine - like everyone has two compatible machines around. I do and did test it - same defects.

When they agreed to RMA - I had to jump through a dozen hoops to make it happen - which - 12 days later - it still hasn't.

Other Thoughts: There are large stickers on the card box indicating not to return the card to the retailer, but RMA through EVGA - DON'T do that. If possible, go directly through newegg's great customer service.......

Pros: I bought this to flash for my early 2006 Mac Pro. I followed a variety of tutorials, built a new ROM, and flashed it with absolutely no difficulties. Be careful, of course, but when you're done you can expect a perfectly functioning card.

Cons: None.

Pros: Fast for the Price! (I bought on newegg for $85 after MIR). Was the first G92 core graphics card so same as any 9xxx series cards and the gts 250. Overclocks well (i use 970 core, 1675 shader and 1000 memory with no issues). Overall a great card that'll last me until the directx 11 cards come out.

Cons: If you haven't bought graphics cards in a while, they've become very large. Make sure you have atleast a decent size mid-tower.

Other Thoughts: Download EVGA precision tool off their website once you register your card (that also gets you the lifetime warranty). It's a great overclocking tool that's easy to use and is very easy to access profiles right off the desktop (for reducing fan speed once you finish a game)

Pros: This will run pretty much anything you throw at it. The adjustable fan speed makes this thing run cooler than my old 7600GT.

Cons: It's BIG. It's about 4 times the size of a normal video card. It covered my SATA connectors and I had to get a new mobo. It's a tight fit in there now. Plan accordingly.

The adjustable fan speeds do not carry over after reboot even after I configured it to do that. It won't kill the system to run at the default but I like it running as cool as possible.

Other Thoughts: If you have the room to fit this monster get it. You won't regret it unless you must max out the latest games.

Pros: Cheap card that can handle most game graphics you throw at it. My Vista score for graphics almost doubled, but i was running a nvida 6600 so that probably isn't as impressive as it sounds.

Cons: Large, I had to rearange my hard drives as this was rubbing up against them.

Other Thoughts: I was able to turn my graphics way up with this card. I found that it will run WOW in my system on then next to highest lvl. At highest ultra lvl the fps dropped when in crowded areas, but this could be partially a limitation of my computer and not just the card.

Pros: Great card! Fast, reliable, compatible with everything, Looks fantastic!

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: Great card!

Pros: This baby was made a good while ago and it still can handle 9/10 of my games on completely FULLL graphics, the only game that it cant handle is crysis :P (DUH) this thing WILL give you some of the very best bang for your buck, theres always to 295 but hey who wants to spend $500 on a graphics card? not me!

Cons: Cant handle crysis, boo hoo it CAN handle crysis on decent graphics, they r STILL good looking but it cant anti-alias at all

Other Thoughts: once again the best bang for your buck!

Pros: Excellent bang/buck. All the new 9800GTX+ and GTS250 cards are very similar to this one and built on the same architecture, so if you don't mind having an older model number with very similar performance this is the card you want. Absolutely crushes most games at 1680*1050 with settings maxed and can handle games at 1920*1080 no problem. Fan speed is set to 36% by default but is adjustable through 3rd party programs like R***Tuner. At 46-48% it is barely audible above the case fans in an Antec 900 and cools a lot better. Card idles around 55C in a well ventilated case at stock fan speed, but kicking up the fan a bit keeps it under 50C.

Cons: 9" long and dual slot. Probably not a con if you are looking at this card though, as you expect this from such a powerful piece of hardware. It's so hard to come up with real cons for this thing, as a year and a half ago this thing went for close to 300 bones. A steal at today's price.

Actual core clock is 650 mhz, not the advertised 670 mhz.

Need to register the card on EVGA's website for lifetime warranty. None of these things are worth taking an egg.

Other Thoughts: Use a program like R***Tuner to adjust the fan speed and make your card a little happier. No idea why they set the default fan speed so low, a 10-12% boost creates virtually no extra noise but does wonders for cooling.

Download the newest drivers from Nvidia. Don't use the CD that came with, as it is severely outdated.

This card will keep me happy for a good 1.5-2 years and all new games will be playable at decent settings during that time. Can't stress how powerful this card is for the money you pay.

Pros: Does what it's supposed to. Peformance is acceptable for a card of this price range.

Cons: Quality is spotty. Had to RMA the card for an exchange (NOTE: NO RMA FOR REFUND ON THIS CARD). Cooling fan ran at 100% at all times. Extremely loud. Even EVGA's own utility would not manually reduce the speed, nor would Riva-Tune etc. Fancy sticker was peeling off day one.
Put in a support ticket at EVGA...no response.

Other Thoughts: I've replaced the card with a Gigabyte 9600, with 1gig of ram for $-10 more. Since I can't RMA the Evga card for a refund...I'm just getting a replacement...which means I've got a $120 paper weight and no use for it. I can't have my business computer down for weeks waiting for a replacement so I had to order the Gigabyte card.

Newegg is great...but read the return policy for each item before you order. Most video cards can be RMA'd for a refund....not this EVGA card....should be a clue that their are problems with the card.
