Great Value

Reviewed By: dubsdread on 7/10/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Value; if you are building a new system this is the card to use. Hardware and software was easy to install. This card has a backplate which you don't see on the GTX 285 card. The fan is very quiet and the heat is vented outward. The clock speed was 621Mhz out of the box, I did not have any problems with that speed.

Cons: Intermittent buzzing noise during moderate to heavy loads, otherwise I would have rated 5 stars.

Other Thoughts: Before upgrading check the room in your case and your psu.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Absolutely amazing card. Quite the upgrade from my stock ATI card. Includes Call Of Duty: WOW and that game looks freaking incredible, better than anything does on my PS3. Combine this card with an i7 and 12GB of RAM and you have an absolutely killer system capable of playing anything and doing anything. The folks at EVGA were surprisingly helpful in helping me solve my problem getting the thing setup but I managed to solve the problem myself (see below).

Cons: A couple but not enough to give it lower than five stars. Installation was a nightmare. Mainly due to the fact that I'm new to this type of video card so I didn't really know what to expect. Card originally arrived with a bent mounting bracket making installation difficult. I originally thought the card was defective because it wouldn't give me a picture after at least three attempts of checking all the settings and inserting. Finally after a call to EVGA technical support I figured out that the reason my card wasn't giving a picture was because the 4-pin connector on my motherboard was disconnected. No biggie. It's big and hot but that's expected.

Other Thoughts: The bent mounting bracket was a big surprise - and you'd think that someone who works in quality control for either Newegg or EVGA would've caught that. But it didn't result in a defective card so I will not hold them against it. Cant wait to put this thing through its paces.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I got this card for my new I7 920 setup. It runs great and can plays just about any game on high.

I love EVGA products!

Cons: This card is End Of Life and will not be available much longer. I bought another one today to SLI

Other Thoughts: As everyone says it is big.
