Pros: this card is an absolute beast plays any game on high. i have this card in a thermaltake micro lanbox and a dfi x58 board and my temps never go above 70c even when playing crysis. so i cant see why people down on this card when its within spec. the ati 4870x2 goes beyond 90c and thats within there spec. if you can afford this card then you could afford good cooling and as for warranty evga has got the best warranty. you can overclock the cards till they blow up and they still take them back, what other company warranties more than 3 years? well i have had to return a motherboard and a couple graphics cards and have had no problems. i got the new card they sent me got my system running and then i sent the defective one back. people should get some knowledge before putting down a product and company.

Cons: people without knowledge and good cooling

Overall Review: I7 920 @ 3.3, dfi x58 microboard, gtx295, thermaltake lanbox the one with the handle, 3 60mm exhaust fans and 1 90mm intake, gskil ddr3 6gigs, 300gig velociraptor, samsung dvd, silverstone 700 watt psu da700= great power supply 58 amps on the 12volt rail, vista premium 64bit. it all adds up to great gaming

Pros: This thing is a beast. It has exceded my expectations in nearly every game. Crysis runs at 1920x1080 4x AA with an average of 45 fps. Any other game doesnt even stand a chance. Many people complain about heat, as long as I have the fan on 100% the temps never go above 65 C after hours of heavy game play, and thats with an overclock of 675/1405/1150.

Cons: Only con I would say is that games have to recognize SLI for this card to shine. GTA 4 doesnt do so well, due to the less than 1g of single card memory. Price obviously, $60 more for red and a back plate is kinda steep

Overall Review: This card has met and exceeded my expectations in almost everything, its increadible. Though I would recommend going for a gtx 285 at this point, due to the fact that the next gen off cards is supposed to be coming out later this year, and it may be somewhat hard to get a buyer for such an expensive card at a reasonable price, System Specs: i7 920 2.66(overclock to come) 3g DDR3 1600 Dominator RAM EVGA x58 3-Way SLI MoBo EVGA GTX 295 Red Edition Corsair HX1000 Watt PSU 500 gb HDD Antec 1200 case

Pros: This card is a monster. It's more powerful than a 2X ATI's 4870s, way more. See Tom's Hardware for a breakdown of results. It's very impressive on 1900x1200 resolution. Great results on 2560X1600. Not much improvement on Crysis over the 4870x2s but that's to be expected when the developer grabs more of the CPU than the GPU. However, it way out performed the 4870s on everything else. Now just image what this can do with 2 in SLI. The red color does look cool under UV lights (see cons on price).

Cons: Stick to the black model if you want to save about $70/$80. The only thing different is the red casing as far as I can tell. I like it because I'm vain and have a Plexie case and the money to spend.

Overall Review: For the guy that didn't see any performance increase... well, you won't if you have a 22" at 1680X1200. You're frame rate is pretty maxed out at with 2 4870s (my previous configuration) at that resolution. And as for the heat, yea it's hot, but so are 2 4870s (case ambient temperature, not just the single card, but both cards pumping out heat into the case). I'm looking into a Danger Den water block for this puppy, since the rest of my case is water cooled. HAVE FUN BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM!

Pros: - Extreamely powerful Nvidia graphics - Murders Crysis on Ultra High graphics w/ AA at 16xQ - Great air flow compared to most video cards - EVGA is one of the only companies to put Open GL 3.0 on nearly all their video cards!

Cons: - Runs a little warm, 60° C during Idle and about 70-80° C during a full load. But still compared to most video cards that is pretty low - Can be kinda loud if you stand there and listen to your case, however considering the only time the fan kicks into high gear is when I am playing Crysis and most the time I like to have the volume unmuted :) - Price is kinda high, but that is what it costs for Nvidia graphics

Overall Review: I bought the Red Edition as it was the only one available w/in the whole month I spent waiting for new ones to be released. If you have the option between all 3 models, I highly recommend skipping the Red Edition unless your favorite color is red and spend a little extra to get the model w/ the back heat spreader. Makes nearly a 10° C difference!!

Pros: Pushes most games on max settings with out a hesitation.

Cons: Not many games out that could push it hard enough that would warrant me upgrading soon. Not that thats Nvidias fault :)

Overall Review: Yes its big and hot and loves power. On that note dragsters are noisy, hot, and eat lots of gas but thats the price you pay for going fast.

Pros: WOW is all i can say about this video card. Been with ATI cards for a long time, but this just blew away other cards out there that i've seen. Paid a little bit more for this Red one but worth every penny! GET ONE!

Cons: Price, but still happy with this red one, even though i paid a little more to have it. Have no idea why the hdmi is not working, has to be the lcd screen as the Asus MK241H, i bought here on Newegg, software cd that comes with it will not work with Windows Vista 64.

Overall Review: Asus Rampage II Extreme Motherboard, Intel Core i7 940 2.93 Processor, EVGA GTX 295 Red Edition Video Card, Thermaltake Spedo Advance Case, XIGMATEK Dark Knight S1283V CPU Cooler, Corsair 1000HX PSU, Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB) Memory, Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB HD, LG Black Super Multi Blu-ray Disc Burner & HD DVD-ROM GGW-H20L, LG Black Blu-ray Drive GGC-H20L, Asus MK241H 24" HDMI 1080P Widescreen Monitor

Pros: Super fast, super Oc'able, conquers any game you give it.

Cons: Huge problem with drivers, but with the help of EVGA forums and others, I got this guy running up in no time... yes it runs a tad hot, but this guy is a monster, i expect it, but i foresee no issues with cooling it down with my Antec 1200 case.

Overall Review: With the help of the EVGA forums, I would have been lost, Great card, the red cover is nothing special, it was the only one available at the time, so I figured what the heck. So I spent a few extra bucks, meh the fan on normal settings is fine, beef the fan up to 100% and thats another story, but i imagine you would be doing some heavy stuff with the fan at 100% GTX 295 is the way to go

Pros: Supposed to be the best video card on the market as of right now.

Cons: Power hunger, heavy, and generates a lot of heat!

Overall Review: I don't know why but after I ran the 3DMark Vantage, it only scores 24000+ graphic points and I have two of these installed. I remember I scored almost the same points with two GTX280 F-T-W cards. It shows SLI is enabled, but nowhere to found about "Quad SLI". I remember when I had two 9800GX2 installed, it showed "Quad SLI" somewhere. Can any expert help me out here? Thanks!
