3 out of 5 eggsNot as good as expected

Pros: Handles a lot of high end graphics use. Doesn't overheat.

Cons: Not as much performance as expected, had an 8800 gtx blew this out of the water. Don't expect to upgrade with EVGA after this.

Manufacturer Response:

Hi,
This card should handily outperform an 8800GTX given you are not CPU bottlenecked. I recommend you contact our 24/7 support to troubleshoot this issue and make sure you are getting the full performance of the card. Thank you,

5 out of 5 eggsIncredible cards!!

Pros: I have 2 of these cards running all 4 of my displays without much effort at all! I haven't attempted to framerate these cards in SLI or otherwise because there are many posted already and I can take solace in the quality of eVGA cards. These cards do get hot though when running CUDA applications such as Seti@Home or other BOINC applications. Leaving the CPU on with these cards doing such hard computations, these cards perform well even after extended uptime.

Cons: Originally eVGA denied a rebate claim for the second card but after I explained that this was for an SLI setup they quickly issued the rebate for the second card. That's the only problem I had with the cards.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Card

Pros: Can handle any of my media applications whether its Photoshop, AutoCADD, or Maya. It also runs Crysis in almost all Ultra High Settings with a Intel Quad Core @2.33Ghz.

Cons: Need a big PC Gaming Case to accompany it.

5 out of 5 eggsUpdate

Pros: Works great, smooth, does everything, good framerate, runs cool, very quiet
Great product support.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Update: After a brief talk with EVGA tech support issues were pinpointed to power starve. Seems wattage was enough but amperage was too low. EVGA customer support had it nailed right away.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Very good frame rate in game. The card stays very cool at around 50c on load with the fan being only at 40%. This thing makes everything look good and it made WoW look like I just started playing for the first time.

Cons: None as of yet

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Card

Pros: I have two of these in dual-SLI with a core i7 CPU. I can play every game (including Crysis) at max detail at 1920x1080 resolution and never drop below 25fps. I have not had the issues with WoW that were mentioned in a previous review. EVGA is great with timely driver updates.

Cons: HUGE. They barely fit in my case, which is a full tower.

Other Thoughts: I'm confident these will last me until the 2nd generation of nVidia's DX11 cards. Probably longer

4 out of 5 eggsGood, but a couple a problems

Pros: *Well, it's quite fast and will run most modern games on high settings. Handles DX10 very well. EVGA's coolers are always very quiet.

*Lifetime warranty. EVGA customer service is A+

Cons: *This card runs hotter than any other Nvidia card I've purchased -- 85 degrees with good case cooling. Still well in the green for GPU temps, but very warm.

* Doesn't overclock for jack. +40 core, +50 shader, +50 memory. Dissapointing

Other Thoughts: * Taking the card even a little bit over it's clocks results in an instant reversion to 2d clocks, which will be permanent until a reboot. Maybe I got a defective card?

EVGA has divine customer service though. I've owned 6 of their cards and am 100% confident if I have to replace this they'll do it quickly and without a hassle.

2 out of 5 eggsNot good

Pros: Works good for everything..(but see below).
Very quiet. Had to check a few times to see if the fan was turning. Was and still is. Stable temps.

Cons: Does not play well with WoW. Intermittently freezes and pixels out some of the graphix. First one did it from the start. RMA'd (Newegg rocks!!). Second one didn't do it from the start, but is doing it more frequently as gameplay time goes on.

Other Thoughts: Large, very large. Had to take everything else out to get it in. Was concerned how that would effect temps, but doesn't seem make any difference.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

If you are having performance issues while gaming, please give us a call at (888) 880-3842 and we will assist you with diagnosis of the issue.

Thank you

4 out of 5 eggsGood but there is better nowadays.

Pros: 1. Good quality card.
2. Fan quiet unless at very high speed.
3. Drivers work great in XP and Win 7.

Cons: Card is overpriced considering what DX11 cards are out there.

Other Thoughts: I wish I had bought one of the $400 DX 11 cards from the other company instead of this one. Oh well... we'll see what happens in March.
