Pretty Good Card

Reviewed By: on 6/19/2008

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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Good card over all, can run any game i use without having any significant problems. Runs crysis on very high settings with a slight frame rate problem but is good on high. very easy install

Cons: Although it was an easy install the driver was not included on the disk it comes with, it has the button to click on but when you do it just says to go to the website to get the latest driver, not a big problem though (unless your internet decides to stop working right when you go to download...grrr...) also there is a very small frame rate problem when there is a lot of water in games like crysis on the screen. only other fault i have with it is it is the hottest thing in my computer right now topping at 60c when playing crysis or any other game.

Other Thoughts: Although it looks like i wrote more about the cons then the pros it is a card worth getting in my opinion and the price is right.

Pros: Great card, works with all my games including COD4 and WoW with highest settings. No problems with choppiness or anything else.

Cons: The fan is pretty loud and it gets annoying sometimes. I would suggest buying another heatsink so you can take the fan off.

Pros: Ran great. Not too noisy.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Other Thoughts: Probably one of the best bangs for the buck on the market right now.

First Nvidia card I have bought in a long time. First XFX product I have ever bought.
