- Pros: very fast and great buy for the speed
- Cons: large, but expected
Power House
- Pros: Runs cool, quiet fan and runs stable. This card comes stock overclocked at low settings. The great thing is that you can over clock this and it can take it. I set the core clock to 700, memory clock to 1200 and it hardly increased the max load temp. But it did give me a 1,000 more 3dmark vantage points, so great GPU and MSI makes the best heatsinks/fan mods out there.
- Cons: The bad is the MSI software. It is incosistant, not accurate and does not detect 80% of what it is supposed to. When I installed the hardware monitoring software all it picked up and monitored was the GPU temp. The memory clock, core clock, shader clock, and fan speed were all undetected. So I got EVGA Precision software and it detects all and has many more features than MSI. Also EVGA Precision is amazing to configure, overclock and monitor your card. Higly recommend it.
- Other Thoughts: This card is not any longer that the other good gaming card. I replaced my MSI Nvidia 9600GT and the 260GTX was a half an inch longer. So if you have a small case and have cables/drives across from your PCI-E slot you may need to make room and manage your cables better. The Nvidia 275GTX is not worth the extra money this card (V4) is faster!
Faster than a 4870 and better Linux support
- Pros: Performs as well or better than the ATI 4870 it replaced. The benchmarks at TomsHardware seam accurate. The NVIDIA Linux drivers are much more reliable than the ATI drivers which was my primary motivation in switching back to NVIDIA. I can play Left4Dead and Crysis at maximum settings on a 1680x1050 LCD.
- Cons: The card is very large. I have a 3U server case. Length isn't a problem but the aux power connectors are on the top of the card instead of the end, so there is absolutely no room to plug in the power cables and close my case. I will have to solder new connectors onto the card.
- Other Thoughts: AMD Phenom 9950, 8GB RAM, ASUS M3A32-MVP AMD 790FX Motherboard
