registration on the web site took seconds , everything simple and nicely done, recieved access to free games, advance rma (if i will ever need it).guys, if you really do planing to get a new card -
every game i challenge it with it just eats it up.
play all of my games on the highest settings without any lag at all.
certainly ruins those spooky games that need good atmosphere (like ghostbusters).
this is how games are suppose to look.
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.
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.
other thoughts: i bought this card less than 24 hours ago, and since then they already lowered the price by ten bucks and threw in a free game, lol i seriously have no luck when it comes to this
at those clocks, i run the fan at 100% (noisy but i can't hear it when gaming anyway) and, even after a while, it only got to 67c.
i keep the fan at 100% all the time and in games it maxes at about 54 celsius (which is amazing).
gotta wait till tuesday to play with it, but i need the boost in far cry 2, 9800 gx2 is a stinker with this game.
i just got two of these bad boys to replace my 8800gt sli setup and let me just say wow what an improvement.
i ran 3dmark06 with the same cpu @ the same speeds along with the same memory and got 16191, wow!
everything the previous review is correct as the gtx275 f.t.w will compete in every game with in frames of what my cards do for 100 dollars less.
gta iv benchmark runs at 53 fps, game play in the low 40s.
i was actually looking at that game at target a couple of weeks before buying this card, and thinking, nah, i can't buy it, my card isn't good enough.
i tried that cryostasis game that came included for free, this card runs it very smooth with no problem at all in 1280x1024 resolution.
and games have never played smoother and better res,even if you have to pay retail 129 is a steal cons: got the first one from evga and it was a major pain didnt want to run stable with my
at this price you can't beat this card, evga is awesome cant wait to buy another one and sli it in my evga 780i fortw cons: the card froze twice since i got it, so when im gaming i turn the fan
this is a great card for someone who is looking for a cheap videocard but also wants it to be able to handle all of todays games.
i game with this card and i put everything on high it will still run around 100 fps.
of course you can hear it when the card's fan is maxed out, but i haven't encountered that in a game yet.this card came preconfigured to the superclocked version's settings of 626/2106.
instead, touched the top of the card and it was *hot* even idling in the vista desktop.
a must get this card will keep you busy for todays and future generation games for a long time.
i upgraded from a x1900xt card and wow i noticed a big difference.
it is a good buy for its price and it runs call of duty world at war on max just fine.
very good price/performance.got free shipping, free game and free 3dmark vantage cant beat it!
i rather like this one over hd4850 because it offers the same or better performance, better driver compatibility for gaming and less software installation hassles.
with a free amazing game!the boxing was absolutely stunning (bit of a design nerd)along with the graphics card.2 dvi cons: no hdmii get opengl rendering errors while working in after effects
other thoughts: my system is:msi-7093 mainboard1.9 ghz amd 64 3200+ single core1 gb ddr1 400 ramhec power-x 600w psumy processor speed is a little on the low side, haha.the graphics on games run
i came from a x800xt and the diference is so far away that the first time that i play games with this card it was jaw drooping im really happy with it, best decision in a long time all gaming
you know that if a card can run crysis on high settings with anti aliasing then you know it can run any other game maxed or near maxed out settings.
this a in my opinion a very good upgrade if your system will tolerate the specs,it took my vista experience from a 4.8 to a 5.9,my old card was a radeon hd2600pcie 512mb memory,it does run a little
this card runs all my games at highest settings with max aa/af with no lag.
you can crank the fan speed with catalyst control center and keep it cool during stressful gaming sessions.
soon to try the cod game that came with the card.
you just want to replace your no name gpu then this is a great deal on a great graphics card, but if you are looking for more power for your "new" gaming rig you might be happier with something else.
it works well with all of my games and 3d art programs.
i primarily bought this card to play world of warcraft and thus far, i have been impressed.
installed in a gaming computer for a co-worker, runs wow for him on slightly less than max settings at 50-60 fps.
the card works stable and quiet, all my games play at max res.
it runs all of my games on high-very high at 1680x1050 without a sweat.
overall, extremely happy so far with it's stability, quiet and cool operation and it's ability to run pretty high-end games such as crysis, far cry 2 and fear 2 at high res's with decent fps.
and, i wish they'd bundled it with a better game.
game wise i would say you gain about 15 to 20% in performance, that is in maximum fps.
do you want to buy a card thats on the top of the gaming market, and breaking the boundary into the enthusiast market?
under a buck for this card and a free game.
i hope to do a little gaming with it.
so far plays world in conflict at highest settings and anti-aisling, which this game is pretty demanding for an rts.
usually runs games 35-40+ fps 1080p cons: when i engage aa or as filtering, things start slowing down pretty bad.
nvidia cons: -- not a one so far -- other thoughts: i haven't done any gaming with this card but it works through solid works 2009 and other engineering intensive programs with ease
my monitor only supports up to 1600*1200, but i can't find a game to throw at this card that even chokes it up.
this card can play every game i throw at it including gta-iv and crysis at good detail settings.
my vista graphics score was capped at 5.9 previous, so this card did not change it.
it runs every game i play very, very well.
it's hard to compare my old system and video card to the rig i have now but my frame rates went through the roof in all the games i used to play when i moved up to the gtx260.
i moved from an ati x1300 pro to this.i run the card on 1900x1080 hdmi with maxed out settings on games like cod4 and cod5(haven't tested it out on crysis yet).
this is the evga gtx 216 core 216 "perfect video card for my gaming pc" ,because is better it's 216 processing cores, 16 more than the regular gtx 260,
this card is playing assassin's creen, cod-waw, left4dead, and any other game i throw at it at full graphics settings without so much as a hicup.
i wasn't expecting much of a performance upgrade, but wow.....for the price this card far exceeded expectations.
several benchmarks previously showed my 8800gts were the bottleneck in games in my system.i plan to add a 2nd 280 soon and see where it takes me.the single card is quieter than my previous sli,
i brought this video card to replace a pair of nvidia 7950gtx, it does not disappoint it's about 10% faster than my previous cards, it really makes my games look good at a higher resolution.
you can read all the reviews you want about frame rates and power consumption but, until you power it up and run your games you won’t know what it really is like.
it will run all games on highest settings with a smooth outcome.
so far i can play every game at the highest graphic settings with 40+ fps.
i do have several other computers and in one of my computers i have an ati 4850 and it is nice, but for the say steam games i play, this card is fine.
if your looking to upgrade a card on something newer go for it, if your trying to save your p4 system for gaming etc.
the card isn't top notch but i found it runs "oblivion" on full power and still testing.
i wasn't plan to buy it to play games, but was tempted to buy a good card.
after overclocking to what it can handle where your not pushing it too much, you might be able to push anti-alaising 2x with max settings but i still dont think you'll get smooth gameplay.i
i bought it so i could play some games and stuff now that i have a decent gaming pc.
silky smooth, max settings on wow, hl2, cod4, oblivion...
combined with the rest of my system i have been able to play almost all of my video games at full resolution and full or nearly-full graphics (native resolution of my monitor is 1920x1080).
i can play any game with visual settings maxed out, watch any video encoded in anyway with zero stutter.
i play city of heroes and eve online, and both games run without any problems.
runs all my games maxed out except left for dead but the graphics are still amazing on idle it runs around 38c great looks and love the xfx imprint on it.
it looks cool and plays all the games i through at.
lifetime warranty cons: none other thoughts: i put the fan at 100%(very loud) and the card never goes above 45c loadi'm thinking about buying another for some 3x crossfire action!
while i was testing his system i did try overclocking using the catalyst drivers (9.2), but it glitching after i installed windows vista 64 bit.
great fps for most games on maxed out settings.
at the time it was ok as a gaming system, but when my ati all-in-wonder 9200 card got fried, i faced two options: find a replacement agp card, or build a new gaming system from more up-to-date
i thought this card was awesome and was disappointed that it was the only thing holding me back from playing newer games such as bioshock.
not a big gamer but i suspect this card could handle whatever you throw at it.
also, once i installed the card vista removed aero and there was no way to get it back.
games run much better now on my aging pc.card takes up a single slot and runs very quiet.
to performance ratio,my hp pavilion a6700y had a performance of 3.1 using vista 64 bit(the rating that is determined in the game section of vista), now with the addition of this card its at 5.8.
"another awesome video card from pny, with nvidia chip, i love it, i can play my games in full quality with no problems, and smooth playback.
what's great about it:?looks awsome with settings maxed out on games and bluray.
i did have to switch all my components to a larger case as this thing is huge, the automatic fan control system works well and seems to keep everything running good, i use it to play call of duty
i maxed out all of the settings on call of duty 5, world at war and it plays incredible.
