Good Card

Reviewed By: Honis on 9/30/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Ran just fine with stock cooling. Due to an unfortunate bounce when I had my case open and PC running, the stock fan broke. (I have a small case and had poor ventilation at the time.) Ran around 50C idle and 70C under load. These were similar temps to my 8800 GTS 320MB and are considered acceptable by anyone who knows stock coolers. I replaced the Heat sink with some $40 aftermarket and my temps never reach 50C even under heavy sustained loads. When I replaced the HS I also improved the airflow of the case so this may help with my load temperatures.

Cons: Other reviewers saying they have a high tech level when they obviously do not.

John, it's you're own fault for not keeping your bios up to date. It's like installing Windows and never updating. A stupid lack of maintenance.

Others: Don't rate a something down because you can't push it harder than advertised. Its only guaranteed to go the speeds its shipped with.

Other Thoughts: I didn't send in the rebate because I have had nasty experiences with the rebate companies and returning cards that no longer have a proof of purchase. I prefer to return things to newegg so that I can get manufacturers product when I RMA.

I'm considering getting a second one for crossfire but I'm unsure with DX11 models being released.

I would have RMA'd because of the fan break but my ethics got the better of me.

Pros: Handles every game just fine.
HDMI port
Display port
low price great value.

Cons: no memory heat sinks.
no fan speed control
only so so temps with stock heat sink.
Even tho there are three display outputs it can only use two at a time.

Other Thoughts: I just received my rebate, it only took 5 months. I replaced the stock fan with a ARCTIC COOLING ACCELS1 Rev 2. it cools my card so much better. Idle temps were in the 50's, now with the AC accels it idles at 37. I may get another card so i can have four monitors instead of just two.
