But I needed more frames, you know what I'm talking about. This card easily OC's to Super clocked edition with a negligible heat increase (Even higher clocks with a few degrees increase). So don't buy the Superclocked 260 216. The eVGA Precision tool is such a great tool. from Amazon.com There is a clause that states, "All products not registered within 30 days will ONLY receive a 1 year limited warranty." Our EVGA video card came with a life-time warranty and it started having graphics problems. It wasn't quite 2 years old yet. from Amazon.com The length of this does require a mid atx or full case to work. Mines a mid atx case, This single card works as well as my SLI computers at a lower cost figuring all the extra components required to complete a SLI set up. DDR2 computers can really benefit from running a DDR3 video card. Buying this card has been a great experience for me. from Amazon.com Pros: This card does runa little hot depending on what your doing, but look at the card its a big card and a big GPU, you can also use EVGA Precision to change fan speed which is nice. Also this card is way easy to overclock, I have two in SLI and overclocked using precision and 3D Mark to overclock as far as they would go. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast Card, runs pretty much all my games silky smooth at the highest settings (1920x1200). Fan at 40% is no nosier than ambient, even at 70% you won't hear it over the game you're playing. EVGA Precision is a wonderful tool. Cons: Length is always an issue for mid-high end cards. from Newegg.com Pros: Bought this for my new Core I7 920 machine to play the latest games. Running Windows 7 RC and installation was a breeze. from Newegg.com Score on vista 5.9.. Cons: People lacking commonsense who are unable to google, cry, when they dont use their head buying items, I mean read the bad reviews, for heavens sakes, fault a great product, cause you dont research what you bought? Reload windows, install video card updates, and go, that simple. It is a shame something as good looking as the cover is, has to be placed upside down, to sit in Other Thoughts: Wish I could run sli, and use two if not more. from Newegg.com Pros: Works extremely well. EVGA Precision tool has a superb hotkey system to allow you to control the GPU fan on the fly. Fan runs 40% you hit an F key to get you 60/80/100 perfect for gaming. from Newegg.com Pros: Great performance, Free overclock utility, Lifetime warrenty Cons: Size (like you have a choice in higher end cards), Not under $100... Other Thoughts: This is a great card for general gaming, If you want to run crysis or Fallout 3 on Maxed settings buy 2. from Newegg.com Played Fallout3 at near-full settings. Totally tore up Cod:WaW Cons: Overheated...turns out the fan is set at 40% by default. Download the evga Precision overclocking tool and set the fan to 100%. Runs like a champ afterwards. from Newegg.com
