EVGA 01G-P3-1351-KR GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: I purchased 2 of these cards at a descent price, I haven't cleaned them out but 1x, they still run quietly and efficiently. I have been able to play most games with medium or high settings. Performed very well at Guild Wars 2 (exception being massive zergs) and these cards are not recommended for Planetside 2 It was terrible trying to play it) Other than that performance and stability was excellent for the price.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Wouldn't recommend buying for new system intensive games.

Pros: Card installed well. The software works very well. The frame rate on my game went from under 30 fps to almost 70 fps at high resolution. Very satified.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: This is just a light weight card that really performs. I over clock it in the 850 range and it hangs around 57c which is more than reasonable. I know there are way better cards out there but for under $100 this is great for your budget build.

Cons: Nothing

Other Thoughts: The only bummer I had was within the first 2 weeks, which was back in Dec. 2011, I was playing in my case and the fan caught me and knocked a blade off. I looked around for a replacement fan but did not find one. The awesome thing is, it's still going strong after a year!

Pros: I really like how easy this card was to get in and that it came with power cords. It runs pretty well, and can be doubled up if needed. I haven't had any heating issues with it, and the one problem I had with glyched drivers the customer support team helped me resolve quick and painlessly.

Cons: The only thing I didn't like is that it uses mini HDMI, a cord I didn't own yet. However, since most people have a sound card anyways, the DVI is all that's needed. But, if you are planning on using the HDMI remember to add 20 bucks or so to the price tag if you need the new cord.

Pros: Looks slick.

Cons: DOA. Took me about two hours and a couple tech support calls to figure out the card arrived broken.

Other Thoughts: Decent price, if it worked. Replaced it instead with an Asus 440 card.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

I am sorry to hear you had to RMA the card. If you run into any issues with the replacement card please contact me directly so I can work with you on this issue, Matth@evga.com

Regards,
Matthew Hurwitz
Assistant Product Manager

Pros: Plug it in, load the drivers, have fun.

Cons: Clear plastic covering nvidia artwork came loose and almost fowled the cooling fan. Make sure you remove it before installing the card

Other Thoughts: I needed to replace my BFG 8800 GT as it was going south. The eVga GTS 450 seemed a logical replacement. I am very pleased with this card.

Pros: Can run plenty of stuff on pretty high graphics, even on a sub-par computer

I'm running two of these in SLI in my computer right now, easily runs everything with the two working together.

Great price for what you get.

Cons: For the price, it'd be stupid to really complain about it.
It obviously can't handle really new stuff on highest graphics by itself, but that's just because it's a midlevel graphics card made a few years ago. It's still good enough to do most of what you want.

Does not support bloom and whatnot on Source games.

Other Thoughts: For the price, it really is a good card. If you really want to play high-end games, you might want to get a higher-end card. For most of the stuff coming out now, it's probably better to have a 500 series.
Two of these in SLI will work nicely on most games, though, which is a good idea if you already own one of them like I did.

Pros: Slices through every game I have thrown at it so far, stays pretty cool.

Cons: No HDMI cord.

Pros: This card does everything i needed it to and more, it runs every game i try playing on maxed or near maxed graphics. I was a little bit worried about the card when i read the reviews on this site but am glad ignored them and got it anyway.

Cons: None

Pros: Excellent 57 Gb/s Great card even though its only a GTS and not a GTX its a lot cheaper but still with a lot of power plus good fan and heat sync keep exceptionally cool even under heavy load from like a intense game and there is a mini hdmi port wich mean I can connect to the tv and I dont have to buy a sound card and delivered 1 day early =)

Cons: Wish it came with a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter or cord but I guess that's not enough to drop an egg but would have been nice

Other Thoughts: gotta love new egg =)
