EVGA 01G-P3-1155-TR GeForce GTS 250 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Works great for what I use my ocmputer for. Casual gaming is well handled by this video card

Cons: none as of yet

Pros: Good card for the money. Excellent customer service from EVA for troubleshooting issues!

Cons: None.

Pros: very nice card works great

Cons: None so far
Hope it stays like that forever

Other Thoughts: I would recommend it for all gamers

Pros: Great card for the price, idles at 40c ,runs all my games form CSS to Crysis at ease with high settings and res. With Newegg's rebate made it well worth the buy.

Cons: Its big, about nine inch's, so make sure the mobo and case will hold it, I have a full tower.

Other Thoughts: Evga and nvidia for the win, Evga has great service and product, Newegg as always is Newegg "Number one in my book" Cant go wrong with this card.

Pros: Wonderful performance! You can tell a bit with everyday use but where it really shines is when gaming.

Cons: It is quite large, not a problem for my case but could be a hassle/unworkable for a tight case.

Other Thoughts: I didn't find out till later that this is the same, effectively, as the 9800GT but still think its worth it for its improved power consumption.

Pros: It's a lovely little beasty... it's quiet and powerful and gives me the full gaming experience I need.

Cons: It's REALLY BIG... I have no more room to install anything else in my computer now... almost couldn't get my sound card in...

Pros: Very Quiet, Very Cool, Very Sexy. This card is absolutely fantastic! Runs Crysis on full with almost no hicups! SoaSE on full, SupCom on full, GTA 4 on full (though still has memory limitations for GTA4) And all at a great price! I may just get another one later on and SLI it up! Photoshop CS3 actively renders things so much faster now too, 5000px by 5000px images with 50+ FX layers skim across the screen seamlessly!

Cons: It is on the larger size, and because of it I had to reorganize hard drive locations. (though it could fit, my HDD cable connectors were too long and cumbersome once plugged in. Although because of moving the HDDs I now have more productive airflow with the case anyway, so perhaps it was for the better. At least for me. Make sure there is space!

Other Thoughts: Hands down just a monster powerhouse of pure visual awesomeness, as long as your case has the space! And if it doesn't, make room or get a bigger case, because this card is worth it!

Pros: The card looks attractive and was super easy to install. What a difference between the GTS 250 and my old GeForce 6800! Simply amazing!

I was surprised that EVGA provided an overclocking utility --- I'm not a video card guru but I was under the impression that manufacturers discouraged it. The utility is simple and works very well with the card - it really helps with personalizing your experience.

The card blows air out from behind the PC which I think is a big plus.

Card is pretty quiet despite several reviews claiming that it is noisy. I can hear the fan steadily blowing but I have yet to hear "airplane mode" even at boot.

Cons: The card is very large. This was not a problem for me because I planned ahead and made sure there was room. I would suggest checking your case out before purchasing. If you have a million cards in there, make sure there is a nice long stretch for this card to sit.

The card runs a little warm when gaming but I'm not concerned really --- it seems to idle at 43 Celsius (109.4 F) which is pretty decent. If you don't have great airflow in your case, you can also use the overclocking utility to raise your fan speeds. In my case, I got my card down to 41 Celsius (105.8 F) in a matter of two minutes. I'm sure it could go lower but I put it back to default.

Other Thoughts: I still cannot believe that people think the fans are loud --- when the computer boots you can hear the fan going, but it's certainly not distracting. Once the OS loads, the card sounds like any other fan in the case. Everyone's case is different but everything seems great for me.

The card is a great buy - especially if you purchase around the holidays!

Pros: this card is georgus, everything from its shape and colors to it core clock speeds and well, everything
this card is a beast in size and power, i am very glad i went with the 1gig SC edition it performs so much better than any card ive ever had
the gts 250 is the highest gts you can buy next level is the gtx
and this card vs the gts 260 still wins (because its superclocked but who cares)

just so you know im running
Asus PSQL/EPU mobo
4 gigs 1066 corsair ram
2.6 GHz quad core
with the gts 250

and i can run crysis maxed out and still get on average 27 Fps

my old 8500gt could hardly run it at 10fps minimum settings.

Cons: this card is hot, no not like that, its a very warm running card but if you have plenty of fans (in my case 9) it still runs at a very cool temp.

Other Thoughts: some people are saying the fan on the card is insanly loud, but its almost the most silent of all my fans.

Pros: 1. Evga
2. 1GB
3. stays very cool
4. Evga precision tool
5. free CoD WaW when i purchased mine
6. newegg's fast shipping
7. makes all my games run smoothly on high-max settings, graphics are amazing with this card.
8. great price

80 fps in dalaran in World of Warcraft with maxed settings, 70 fps during raid AoE and 0 lag during AoE

Cons: While playing World of Warcraft i notice my screen flickering as if i had an old CRT monitor (and i don't) my graphics still look amazing and everything else works perfectly but the flickering is getting annoying. i did not have screen flickering issues with my older video cards. i also used this card in my other computers and still had screen flickering issues.

Other Thoughts: regardless of my screen flickering i suggest this card to people who want a great performing card for a great price.
