from IMPALER, www.newegg.com
the card also looks like if you tried to crossfire one of the copper heat pipes would get in the way, but i would ask someone who tried to crossfire it first before taking my word on it.

would highly recommend it to any gamer who cannot afford the higher gtx 295s or 290s cons: i wouldnt say this is a con, but the card is massive in length.

i am able to run games like battlefield 2 (project reality mod), farcry2, armed assault, empire total war, etc at max res and with all the bells and whistles turned on and this card handles it.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: this is a very powerful card, and most benchmarks show it about as powerful as a gtx 280, and 10% slower than a gtx 285 for most games.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: the card measured from the inside face of the bracket is 10.5 inches long but the power connectors are on top making it a lot easier to plug in the two pci-e power connectors.
from Mick, www.newegg.com
running fur mark maxed out i got it up to 300 watts...and 50 fps.make sure you have enough power for this card, meaning 2 six pin pci-e connectors from your psu.
from Alex, www.newegg.com
to this card.also pay attention to the placement pci-e slots on your motherboard.this is a high selling card for a reason, i think it's the best balance between performance vs cost of the gtx series.
