problems....

Reviewed By: Grymm on 1/18/2009

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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Good performance for the money... best Nvidia card under $200.00.

Cons: I could not get this card to run properly, had to RMA. The card would not run most 3d apps... though it ran Doom3 flawlessly at max settings... wierd.

I tried several different driver versions, a bigger power supply, and updating my mobo BIOS.... no luck.

Other Thoughts: It seems there have been driver related issues with this card which may or may not be related to the problem I had.... I didn't find anyone else who suffered exactly the same problem as me so it might have just been a defective card.

Pros: I was going to get the 8800 G92 board, but this one is faster and cheaper here at Newegg so why bother!? I'm playing Crysis with one card at 1400 resolution with almost everything set on high. 'nuff said.

Cons: non hardware related at all. card pertforms and priced right!

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: very very fast. for a single gpu configuration that costed me 170 after rebate it doesn't get much better than this. i only have 2 gigs of ram and a e7200 all on stock and i still played crysis on all very high settings pretty smoothly very enjoyable. and if you have a faster cpu then it would have been even better. i maxed out need for speed prostreet, cod4, witcher, assassin's creed and played crysis on all very high with 1366x768 on my hdtv. make sure you have atleast 600watts. and this overclocks well from what i've heard but im already happy with the performance im sure the extra 100mhz wouldn't make much of a notible difference since this card kicks booty.

Cons: very large but don't swet it because i have a mid tower and it fit so as long as you have a descent sized mid tower you should be fine. th eprice has gone up recently i wouldnt buy this unless it was 200 minus 30 dollars in rebates or less. rightnow an ati 4850 is selling for 185 here on newegg and it performs better than this card and takes less energy plus you get avivo and ati is better with video image quality. that may be better but then again ati sucks with drivers so its a good deal to go either with the 9800gtx or the hd4850. not a true con though. this card is flawless as a standalone product buy it if its cheap enough!

Other Thoughts: dont do sli as i have done it before and usually you only see a 10-40% increase in performance for teh same price as two cards not a good deal. plus you have to buy a compatible motehrboard and psu. and ontop of that you will have to individually download patches for all your games to make use of the second card. too much money spent for a slight increase in speed thats highly dependant on whether the game recognizes the sli. in crysis i only saw a 5-9 fps increase kinda pitiful isn;t it? but this goes for all dual cards made by ati and nvidia so it has bothing to do with this product individually.
