Video Heaven

Reviewed By: Jimbo on 5/6/2009

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

Pros: The card is simply solid and fast. The real unsung advantage is CUDA which is nvidias programming app which turns the processing cores into number crunchers. This has the effect of turning your plain old desktop into a poor mans supercomputer. nothing else like this exists from anyone. Nvidia's own Tesla supercomputing desktops are based on Cuda technology IMHO this trumps Crysis framerates hands down. Anyone with a 8800 series or higher has the ability to run CUDA. In a real world application I am able to proccess 250 d'l texture maps and remap them for the X-plane flight sim in just a few minutes with cuda turned on versus several hours with it turned off. Theres your real POWER! To just review high video game framerates is a bit short sighted. Traditionally flight sims were really the way to test computers as no other app stresses so many components to the breaking point (including video) the way a FS like X-plane or FSX w/maxed setting can do.

Cons: Cont. from pros.
While many reviewers have written things like "handles anything I throw at it" The truth is they are not throwing the right things. Even with high end cards such as this I have been able to bring them all to a near screeching halt simply by maxing out X-plane's or other flight sims video settings. so it is a more accurate way to test the cards. I am still able to get some very respectable video framerates with this card. around 45-60 with settings at high but things start to slow down to 15-20 when starting to max things out and with airflow visuals turned on things go bad in a hurry and go down to below 5 fps sometimes 1fps so there is still room for improvement but it's all a step up in the right direction and I can say that for the first time flight sims can be run at settings that makes them convincing enough to be usefull thanks to video cards such as this one.

Pros: I bought one of these cards to replace 2 8800 GTX in SLI and I am very pleased. The card ran at about 71 degrees celcius air cooled under load. I water cooled it. Now it runs at about 43 degrees. I have had no driver or game issues yet ( that I didnt have with the 8800s in SLI ) . I run my display at 1920x1200. I can turn on 8x AA and other effects that made my 8800s slow no problem.

Cons: None so far. Some have said the price. In my case I was looking at this or 2x 280 gtx in SLI. This was the economy solution for me :D

Other Thoughts: When running this card air cooled make sure your case is moving plenty of air through it. Also a proper power supply is very important with todays power hungry video cards. I have kept it cool and fed it well and it has been a rock solid monster of a card.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This card is an absolute beast. I needed great 1920x1200 performance in the latest games (crysis warhead, far cry 2, fallout 3) and I got it. Warhead gets 40 fps average all enthusiast no AA, and I have Far cry 2 at 70 fps average with all the eye candy turned on, max AA and AF. Stunning performance.

Cons: The card runs rather hot when on full load if the fan is left on auto, although I hear this is normal with newer cards. Putting the blower on full-blast is unacceptably loud.

Other Thoughts: The price went up from 510$ when I bought it to its current price of 540$. I suspect this is due to evga's (well-deserved) reputation of reliability and a solid lifetime warranty. Honestly though there isn't that much difference between this and the other 295's, since nvidia ships these cards out and EVGA puts a sticker on it, so know you are paying extra for the warranty.

I have it clocked up quite easily to 621/1339/1102. Other relevant system specs:

Core i7 920 2.66GHz@ 3.4 (turbo mode enabled, BCLK=170MHz. Vcore=1.3V)
6GB OCZ platinum DDR3 ram @ 7-7-7-24
