Featuring the latest GeForce® 8600 GTS with 256MB GDDR3 memory and DirectX® 10 and Shader Model 4.0 support, EVGA's 256-P2-N761-AR delivers amazingly realistic gaming effects and full support for Microsoft® Windows Vista. Differing from past GPU generations, this talented card features a dedicated on-chip video processor for superb picture quality and ultra smooth video playback. Overclocked to a blazing 720MHz, and a memory clocking zooming along at 2.1GHz, it screams through complex processing without breaking a sweat.
It also features NVIDIA's latest advanced technologies including GigaThread™ Technology, which, through a massively multi-threaded architecture creates thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency for advanced, next generation shader programs.
Additionally, This amazing unit supports Quantum Effects™ Technology, enabling a new level of physics effects to be simulated and rendered on the GPU as well as support for NVIDIA's Lumenex™ engine, which introduces 16x Anti-aliasing and 128-bit floating point High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) rendering for the most realistic lighting effects.

GREAT CARD!!
- Pros: Works in my Dell E521 with a 305watt power supply. Great card for gaming and its HDCP features. Scored a 9867 on 3DMark05. Plus its Dx10 too, so when the time comes you'll be ready. Anyway I'm really happy!
- Cons: The 8600 and 8500 are all only 128 bit.
- Other Thoughts: If you do end up getting this for a E521 or a E520, make sure you get a 4 pin molex "Y" connector.
mediocrity rules sub-200
- Pros: DX10 forwards compatibility.
Burns less power than a 8800*.
Doesn't cost $280.
evga's step-up program.
- Cons: It doesn't exactly rock oblivion at 1280x1024 with the higher settings . . . maybe 15-25 fps?
- Other Thoughts: HDCP if you like paying extra for hollywood to keep you from stealing stuff you already bought.
It runs at 63 celsius for me pretty much all the time.
There really aren't any universally attractive products at this price point right now. I presume ATI is trying to catch up still, so Nvidia is holding back.
I feel very lukewarm about this purchase, but I had to put my foot down and not spend the extra cash for an 8800/320.

Great Card For The Price!
- Pros: This card is a great choice for games such as Age Of Empires 3. I play all my games at a screen resolution of 1680x1050 and am impressed by the speed at which it runs. I am able to play Flight Simulator X with all the graphics turned up to medium high. Definately worth every penny I put in to it!
- Cons: Um...
- Other Thoughts: Works great with Windows Vista.
Solid Card
- Pros: Solid performer in its class. The prices have dropped a good deal since i have bought the card - but i was happy with it. But....
- Cons: ...it wassnt a 8800 GT - and with the prices dropping the way they did, i had to buy one. So - if you want above average performance - you will not be happy.
- Other Thoughts: I was able to get to 8053 3dmark score with this card (With a Phenom 9500 getting a cpu score of 3400) What the prices are now (120 or less for these) you cant beat it. But if you really are wanting the next lvl - your going to have to pay a tad more. People who want an upgrade - but dont want to break the bank - not a bad option.
Eggxellent Card
- Pros: I got this card to upgrade from on board NVIDIA 6150 SE graphics and man it was huge difference! The card is super quiet also. Now I can run all games maxed out (execept for Crysis) which I can run on medium settings at 1024x768 resolution and it still looks amazing in DX 10. The card is fast (not 8800 fast) but it's fast enough for me. I'm still trying to tweak the settings on Flight Sim X, but I think you need a NASA computer to run that and make it look the way you want it to and get playable frame rates.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Get this card. You won't regret it.
