What People Say

the only problem i had was installing it, as when i put it in the pci express slot, i couldn't seem to fit the card in straight (but that was due to some odd shapings in the tower). from Tigerdirect.com but the abilty to have multiple moniters is far more important to me at least, and a single card can handle it more then adequately running autocad 08', wow/crysis and other games at max settings. from Tigerdirect.com one thing i thought was kinda missleading was that quake didn't come with the game right out of the box, u have to register with evga and then they'll ship it, which is not a huge problem but i had from Tigerdirect.com awesome card, running anything from wow to crysis on it no problem. from Compusa.com this card is amazing and i recommend it to anyone who likes to game with a budget. from Tigerdirect.com summary: bought this card for my second comp and it works extremely well with vista. from Mwave.com all games perform great with it, just not at top notch like my 8800gtx. from Mwave.com great card that will rock your pc, i can run call of duty 2, company of heroes etc.. from Tigerdirect.com only problem is that it runs quite hot but im fixing that with buying a pci fan only 20 bucks! from Tigerdirect.com wow this is a great video card! from Tigerdirect.com
