Works well it seems
- Pros: Been running it for about a week, so far so good. The passive cooling cought my eye while I was looking for a new video card, so far this card has not been a disappointment. The temperature of the card goes to about 50degrees C when I am playing games, and I am fine with that. WoW plays well at full screen with a 24' and 17' dual monitor setup.
- Cons: None so far, card is a bit large but that should be something you know before you buy it and make sure it can fit in your case.
- Other Thoughts: Have yet to run any heavy graphics intense games. Will try that later.
I'm glad I bought this when is was selling for $149 and not the current price of $259. (What happened Newwegg/ECS?)
good cooling
- Pros: The big heatsink works well for completely passive cooling; I didn't bother using the fans.
- Cons: Despite Nvidia's hype about PureVideo, it doesn't work on WinXP - their XP drivers don't have any effect in this area & Nvidia doesn't really seem to care since they know about this but haven't done anything to fix it. The same card installed in Vista does work very well with video processing. This isn't ECS' fault, however. Driver support is solely the responsibility of Nvidia. If you are interested in using this in an HTPC, you should steer clear and use ATI's 4000-series cards (with the same third-party Accelero heatsink as the one installed on this card).
- Other Thoughts: I use Antec Solo case (an average sized mid-tower), and I was somewhat concerned about the size of the card before I purchased. Fortunately, the card fit into the case with about 1 inch to spare, both length-wise and height-wise. If you bought a loud graphics card, you should replace with this Accelero heatsink - very effective.
Cooling: impressive |||| Drivers: not so much
- Pros: Runs fairly cool without the fans.
Runs very cool with the fans.
- Cons: 1. Fan assembly wires broke during installation of the twin fans. Needed to push fan wires down into the fins of the heatsink so they wouldn't get stuck in the fan blades. The wires were unduly stiff and had no flex. Once they were bent, they weakened and snapped off, right at the fan's circuit board. No way to solder repair without melting everything. :(
- Other Thoughts: 2. No boot with installation CD drivers. Stuck in 4-bit color + low res w/ECS's web site drivers. This computer system had been running great with an EVGA 6800 video card. Not impressed. Did eventually get the card installed and it seemed to run well. However, I like my new hardware to install a lot easier than this. RMA'd
