They may look and feel sturdy, but you don't want to risk such a heavy card with little pieces of plastic. You should have a billion screws lyin around anyway, right? Other Thoughts: EVGA customer service is unprecedented. I called at 4:30 pacific time, and I got a human on the phone who actually knew what he was talking about. from Newegg.com make sure u got the room in your case. The drivers a little funny to deal with. i had to go to evga and DL a newer version. the CD i got with the cards have drivers but they dont give u the Nvidia control panel. from Newegg.com I purchased this card to "freshen" my son 's Dell XPS 600 - this is 2005 vintage system with a Pentium D (early dual core architecture) and upgraded the 7000 series nvidia card inside. The card is large but fit well in the case. from Amazon.com Pros: high performance, nice build, reasonably silent, step up option Cons: too expensive for what it delivers Other Thoughts: i play at 1920x1080this was my first "expensive" graphic card, and my advice if you want high end graphic is to get two cheaper ones in sli, but avoid any multi gpu cards such as the 295 series (have a evga 295 gtx coop which crashes constantly - maybe incompatibility issues with amd mb or amd cpu?)AMD Phenom II X4 945THERMALTAKE DUORB CPU COOLERMSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD 790FX ATXmushkin 4 x 2GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Model 996601EVGA GTX 295 CO-OP 017-P3-1295-AR CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750WWD Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GBSAMSUNG DVD SATA Model SH-S223L from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: Other one works perfectly. Manufacturer Response:Hello,Thank you for the review. I apologize about the issues you are having with your EVGA product. We stand behind our products and would like to assist you with troubleshooting and replacement of these products if necessary. from Newegg.com Pros: Good card but I did expect a little more power that what was given but that doesn't mean this is a bad card for its price and performance. I only played Champions Online with Maxed settings, average 30fps with SMOOTH playing... 7800 GTX was about 30fps or less with far less advanced video settings but not smooth at all. I expected more fps with max settings with CO then I got. from Newegg.com Pros: Works good in games and screen resolution of 1920x1200 Cons: A bit on the pricey sideLoud fan when it spins up to 100%very large video carddoes not support Directx 10.1 (only 10.0) Other Thoughts: It's a reasonably nice video card, although a bit pricey. It plays all the games that I want to play (mostly 3D games) at a nice framerate with barely a hiccup at 1920x1200 resolution. from Newegg.com Pros: If your concerned about the fan speed being defaulted at 40% just install EVGA Presion Advanced Graphics Tuning. Cons: None from Newegg.com I'm using a Rosewill R5601-BK 0.8mm steel case and I had only 1/2 inch to spare. This card will handle anything you can throw at it at max settings. I ran a video stress test with Half life 2 lost coast and got 189 fps at 1900 X 1200 res. Cons: None. from Newegg.com Pros: Great card, upgraded from a 8800GT, and wow what a difference. I play WOW and Iracing. This is my 3rd EVGA branded card and wouldn't have any other. Cons: None Other Thoughts: If you want a good graphics card for the mid price range this card is. from Newegg.com
