Pros: Runs so smooth, haven't had any trouble yet. Cons: Runs at 60C 40% fan speed playing the World at War that comes with it. from Newegg.com AND MOST OF ALL I DIDN'T GET MY FREE GAME! THANKS NEW EGG. :( Other Thoughts: GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD, AMD PHENOM 9850 QUAD CORE, THERMALTAKE SPIN Q CPU COOLER, 8 GIGS OF OCZ PLATINUM 1066 RAM, EVGA GTX 260 SUPERCLOCKED ED., POWERED BY A KINGWIN MACH 1 700W MAX. 750W POWERSUPPLY, HOUSED IN AN APEVIA X-PLEASURE CASE. from Newegg.com Pros: i bought this card when it first came out for new build it has been running strong the whole time it takes every game i throw at it Cons: dont have another one yet to sli Other Thoughts: amd 9950 be 4 gigs ocz ddr2 1066gigabyte m750 mb pc power cooling 1000w psubarracuda hdasus cdtsunami case36in 1080p samsung lcd from Newegg.com Pros: Very nice card in term of hardware. I still can't justify purchasing a very high end card like 295 so the price for this one fit my budget very well. I got this card for SLI with another 260 (not superclocked). Runs good helps fps (75-80%) in crysis after some tweaking on the nv control panel. from Newegg.com Cons: The package doesn't include SLI bridge. Visionteck 4850 does include a Crossfire bridge and it costs less. I don't understand why nVidia cards don't come with one (I'm not blaming EVGA in particular). Also why there's no backplate. from Newegg.com 5-15. The card is working great, games and graphics look fantastic. This was an upgrade from an XFX 8800GTS 320MB card. Cons: Supposed to include:HDTV CablePower Cable2 x DVI to VGA/D-sub AdapterDid NOT get HTDV cableDid NOT get SLI Bridge ConnectorOnly got 1 DVI/VGA adapterThe EVGA website clearly shows the components included with the card and I did not get them all. from Newegg.com Pros: This is a great graphic card works well for the price Crysis at full graphics with just this one card with no problems at all. Running at full capacity it still doesn't drain as much power as I thought it would haven't hit over 500W with this my I7 CPU and 2 monitors running on my battery backup I got a 1000w PSU and have felt like I overdid it a bit but this graphic card works better then I could have hoped might SLI it at some time but for now I get enough power withought it. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I have had some good experiences with EVGA in the past. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast, and plenty of memory to handle just about anything I throw at it. The SLI ports on the card are protected by a rubber plug that prevents any damage/dust from getting at them. Also, the cooling solution is much improved over past EVGA cards that I have owned - the protection from the heatsink on the underside of the card adds some reassurance that I won't accidentaly damage the board, and there is a definite drop in sound output from the heatsink/fan. Cons: Size - I have a DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR inside a CoolerMaster WaveMaster case, and this barely fit inside. from Newegg.com Pros: I liked this card so much I bought 3 of em to have tri SLI, I can play any game out there with out a hitch. I have a Haf full tower so space wasnt an issue. from Newegg.com Pros: I will keep it short, as my tech knowledge is limited, the card works well and was very easy to SLI (first time I sli'd cards,so not sure how difficult the process USUALLY is but it was very easy for me.) The included EVGA software is very useful. Doesn't generate too much heat and have yet to encounter a game it cant run flawlessly on highest settings. from Newegg.com
