All fine until fan dies!
- Pros: Fast as hell.
- Cons: My 1284 version lasted almost 40 days, the fan stopped running and the only fix is to RMA, pay shipping both ways. Fans seem to be a popular failure so get the RMA options figured out before you pay $350 for a card that fails because eVGA didn't want to spend more than $2 on a fan.
Solid so far
- Pros: Quieter than expected, runs on a lower power requirement than what it says in its spec, good quality construction. I upgraded this from my 8800GT. I ran my 8800GT on air cooling, no fan using Arctic Cooling Rev2 heatsink so it was dead silent. I figured I would eventually have to purchase a silent heatsink when one is released in Mar 09, but after installing this, it is surprisingly quiet in my Antec900 case. Lastly, I was expecting to have to upgrade my Corsair 620W to a higher PS, but it runs beautifully without needing to upgrade. Just plugged in my second 6-pin connector and it upgraded like a charm.
- Cons: None. One of my power cables accidentally got jammed in the fan, causing it not to turn (yah, it was pretty quiet so it should've been a hint) and kept overheating my card, causing it to shut down at 104C. Removed the jam and problem solved.
- Other Thoughts: As always, trusty Newegg got this out quick. What surprised me this time was that I ordered it on FRIDAY night and they managed to get this SHIPPED that same freaking night! However, UPS managed to slow roll this for four days, so it's almost as if Newegg has to work extra hard to make up for UPS's slack.
My 8800GT WoW performance at 1900x1200 was pegged at 60 fps with a drop to 30-40 fps in some raid instances with medium spell effects/low shadows. With this gen card, I was hoping to get 60 fps pegged with everything set to high. I get same performance (60 fps) in non-populated areas but I still see a slight drop in fps (40-50) in populated areas. (Vsync on). What this tells me is that CPU or ISP connection is the bottleneck, not my GPU. Slight dissappointment, but not the GPU's fault.
8400 CPU, 4 Gigs Ram, Antec900.
fantastic, just HOT
- Pros: Runs farcry2 maxed out @ 1920x1080, COD4 maxed, rome total war maxed w/ 2x AA, and crysis on a combo of high and ultra high.
- Cons: not really a con, just an oddity:
Whenever i would play farcry2 or crysis, the game would crash after 10-20 minutes of game play, citing an nvidia driver failure. after thinking about this, and runnign speedfan, i realized it was getting too hot. the "auto" setting on EVGA's precision tool wouldn't crank the fan up high enough to keep it cool (i even have 2 fans bringing in cold air right on my gpu in a CM 690 case) the fix: turn up the fan to 80%. it keeps it cool just fine, it's just by far the loudest fan in my system.
- Other Thoughts: a little dissapointed that the auto function on the fan wasn't stepping up to solve the heat problems, but it's really easy to fix. oh yeah, i have teh ssc edition, and am running it on evga's x58 board, an i7-920, and 6 gigs of ddr3 1600 if that makes a difference for anyone out there.
before turning up the fan on this, the loudest component was my cd drive, oddly enough. goint to do the step up to the 295 in a month or two.
