PCI Express 2.0 InterfaceThe PCI Express 2.0 interface delivers an ultra-high data rate of up to 16 GB/s, and is backward compatible with PCI Express x16 (PCI-E 1.0), so you can upgrade the graphics of your existing system with the BFG Tech BFGEGTX2851024OC2E.
Pros: Fast card, replaced a single 8800GTX (I didnt want a dual cpu or sli card at this time). I run 1920 x 1200 max settings, Cod2 went from 90-120fps to 120-200fps! COD 5 went from 40-60fps to 70-120fps avg. At these resolutions and settings that's awesome!
Cons: It locked up on me 2 times first night, I think like others have said the stock OC may be too much? Lowered cpu freq to 675mhz from 698mhz and so far didnt lock up! BFG is recommending adjusting IRQ (almost impossible) and doesnt think it is the card causing the issue, but it is the only thing locking up.
Overall Review: Happy with this card, hope to resolve lock ups!
