Buyer Beware
- Pros: This card runs fantastically at first. Even without SLI, this card will surprise you at every turn.
- Cons: When this card overheats (it will... trust me) it will never be the same. I've seen cards come back from overheating but this card is so susceptible to heat that one time overheating becomes a point of no return. I used to be able to run almost any game at full rez and get 40+ FPS no problem. Now... even after adding extra fans and cleaning the card until it was spotless, inside and out, I can't run any game at even the lowest rez without it overheating.
If you want a card for a month... get it.
If you want a card for life... avoid this thing at all costs.
Epically Caliente
- Pros: Only paid 234 bones for it. Better performance than the gtx280 in some games, lol
Practically doubled my fps in Lost Planet and devil may cry 4. dmc already played extremely well, but now with all high settings I still get what i would have gotten with my previous 8800 gt on low settings. Which is 90+ in some levels and 160 in others.
Geometry wars never looked better than it does with this card. No stutter what so ever in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11.
- Cons: Applying mx-2 helped drop the temps a lil bit, but at clock speeds and higher it reaches 81c. Idle is around 52c. Had to underclock the core to 525, but still get great fps. Underclocked with fan speed at 80% gets me 78c temps. Heinous temps. The could have done much better on the cooling. Horrid way to design a card. Only got it bcuz of the price. Next card i get will be an Ati x2. Much easier to keep cool.
Got a pretty well ventilated case; 2 80mm side fans, 120 mm front and rear fans, and 80 mm on top of case.
The heat is a huge let down, but the performance is awesom
- Other Thoughts: Finally after about 5 orders in a row, this one actually didnt arrive late. WHen they said 3 business days, it didnt take 5 or 6, it only took 3.
Newegg is the best with pricing and overall product availability. Been shopping here for years and will continue to do so.
Phenom 9950 @ 3.2ghz
Just wish that C & C Red Alert 3 would stop ricky boxing and get the drivers fixed. Unplayable with AA turned on
9800gx2
- Pros: Fast, outperforms $400 gtx280 in most games for half the price. Internal sli does not require sli capable motherboard.
- Cons: Runs hot. Exhausts a portion of hot air into case through vents on side of card in addition to outside the case through back of card. High power consumption. Package does not contain 6pin/8pin pcie power adapters.
- Other Thoughts: Newegg shipped me the factory overclocked version, at 675mhz core/2100mhz vram, compared to standard 600mhz core/2000mhz vram. Not sure if it's an error in the product description, and every card is factory overclocked, or Newegg made a one time mistake. It's a good thing though.
