Rating + 3 Not as good as expected


Pros: Handles a lot of high end graphics use. Doesn't overheat.

Cons: Not as much performance as expected, had an 8800 gtx blew this out of the water. Don't expect to upgrade with EVGA after this.

Rating + 5 Incredible cards!!


Pros: I have 2 of these cards running all 4 of my displays without much effort at all! I haven't attempted to framerate these cards in SLI or otherwise because there are many posted already and I can take solace in the quality of eVGA cards. These cards do get hot though when running CUDA applications such as Seti@Home or other BOINC applications. Leaving the CPU on with these cards doing such hard computations, these cards perform well even after extended uptime.

Cons: Originally eVGA denied a rebate claim for the second card but after I explained that this was for an SLI setup they quickly issued the rebate for the second card. That's the only problem I had with the cards.

Pros: Can handle any of my media applications whether its Photoshop, AutoCADD, or Maya. It also runs Crysis in almost all Ultra High Settings with a Intel Quad Core @2.33Ghz.

Cons: Need a big PC Gaming Case to accompany it.

Pros: Works great, smooth, does everything, good framerate, runs cool, very quiet
Great product support.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Update: After a brief talk with EVGA tech support issues were pinpointed to power starve. Seems wattage was enough but amperage was too low. EVGA customer support had it nailed right away.

Pros: Very good frame rate in game. The card stays very cool at around 50c on load with the fan being only at 40%. This thing makes everything look good and it made WoW look like I just started playing for the first time.

Rating + 5 Great Card


Pros: I have two of these in dual-SLI with a core i7 CPU. I can play every game (including Crysis) at max detail at 1920x1080 resolution and never drop below 25fps. I have not had the issues with WoW that were mentioned in a previous review. EVGA is great with timely driver updates.

Cons: HUGE. They barely fit in my case, which is a full tower.

Other Thoughts: I'm confident these will last me until the 2nd generation of nVidia's DX11 cards. Probably longer

Rating + 4 Good, but a couple a problems


Pros: *Well, it's quite fast and will run most modern games on high settings. Handles DX10 very well. EVGA's coolers are always very quiet.

*Lifetime warranty. EVGA customer service is A+

Cons: *This card runs hotter than any other Nvidia card I've purchased -- 85 degrees with good case cooling. Still well in the green for GPU temps, but very warm.

* Doesn't overclock for jack. +40 core, +50 shader, +50 memory. Dissapointing

Other Thoughts: * Taking the card even a little bit over it's clocks results in an instant reversion to 2d clocks, which will be permanent until a reboot. Maybe I got a defective card?

EVGA has divine customer service though. I've owned 6 of their cards and am 100% confident if I have to replace this they'll do it quickly and without a hassle.

Rating + 2 Not good


Pros: Works good for everything..(but see below).
Very quiet. Had to check a few times to see if the fan was turning. Was and still is. Stable temps.

Cons: Does not play well with WoW. Intermittently freezes and pixels out some of the graphix. First one did it from the start. RMA'd (Newegg rocks!!). Second one didn't do it from the start, but is doing it more frequently as gameplay time goes on.

Other Thoughts: Large, very large. Had to take everything else out to get it in. Was concerned how that would effect temps, but doesn't seem make any difference.

Pros: 1. Good quality card.
2. Fan quiet unless at very high speed.
3. Drivers work great in XP and Win 7.

Cons: Card is overpriced considering what DX11 cards are out there.

Other Thoughts: I wish I had bought one of the $400 DX 11 cards from the other company instead of this one. Oh well... we'll see what happens in March.

Rating + 5 Very Nice Card!


Pros: Fast, smooth, quiet, powerful. Doesn't use nearly as much power as my gtx 280's in my previous setup. Not much more to say, other than this is one very nice card. Well worth every penny.

Cons: Large card, 10.5" to be exact, but if you've bought any video cards in the last 2 years, you should be used to the size of these high end cards. Not really a con for me, but if you have a small mid tower, it may be an issue.

Other Thoughts: I'm running 3 of these in Tri-SLI, and I couldn't be happier. Replaced 2 EVGA 280's with 3 of these, and it's really running nice. I'd certainly reccomend these to anyone looking for a powerful midrange graphics solution.

Rating + 5 Best card I have ever owned


Pros: Installed this card and wow what a huge difference from my old 9800GTX! Runs cool even at high loads (could be the great airflow in my case.) Very stable. With EVGA's Precision tool easy to OC aswell. But you dont really need to.

Cons: Let me add to what people are saying on this subject.....This card is FREAKING HUGE. I have a large full tower case and it only cleared by maybe a cm or 2. I had to put the card in the case sideways first then turn it around to make it fit, but it just barely did.

Other Thoughts: Awesome card. Play World of Warcraft of High settings and get 60+ fps on 1900X1220 res. Only lowers a bit in Dalaran and it still stays above 45fps. I also play Modern Warfare 2 on Max settings and it works perfect! Buy this card now....seriously

Rating + 5 Good for modern games


Pros: Can play Left 4 Dead 2 and Prey on high settings very smoothly. Of course, I am gaming at 1024x748, so results will be different at higher resolutions, but I am happy. No real problems yet. I've played all of the following games at high settings with no notable problems:

Enemy Territory
Quake Wars
Unreal
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament 2004
Left 4 Dead
Prey
Left 4 Dead 2
Cryostasis (this one suffered the most FPS dips)
Crazy Machines 2
Bioshock Demo
Crysis Demo
Portal Demo

Cons: The fan can get loud, especially at higher speeds. It doesn't ever really seem to go past 40 (with Precision auto fan control), but if you manually put it up, it is rather loud, obtrusively so. The card is very large. I believe it is blocking a PCIE slot that is not being used. It also seems to block some connectors on my mother board that I might want to use some day... but maybe this is more of a mother board issue, since vid cards are just large these days anyway.

Other Thoughts: EVGA has a really good site and forums. This card came with 2 free games, Crazy Machines 2 and Cryostasis, both of which ran decent on my card (although Cryostasis has some noticeable and consistent FPS dips when played on high)

Rating + 5 Insane


Pros: Ungodly fast, extremely stable, quiet, SLI capable, great drivers.

Cons: Gigantic. There's no way this would fit in a miniATX case. High power consumption, needs a very healthy power supply with two 6 pin connectors available. And that's per card!! An SLI setup would need four 6 pin connectors!

Other Thoughts: Best video card I've owned, without a doubt. Very happy with this card.

Pros: Works great! Runs two 2560 x 1600 monitors without any trouble. On single display mode, gives great FPS. Dual display is really up to the OS to handle FPS and such.

Cons: Big? But, that's to be expected...

Other Thoughts: Takes 2 PCIe 6-pin power, so make sure your power supply has enough of those if you plan to buy multiple of these.

I'm running this with an 8400 GS as well to support 4 monitors. Not sure if I should be doing this, but it DOES work.

Rating + 5 Video on Crack


Pros: A powerful card, that will make a game so beautiful you eyes will water. Works great with old games like Simcity 2000 and newer ones like Modern Warfare2 , Vegas 2 tom clancy's, and 60+FPS in Dalaran in WOW.

Cons: It's a large card and if you take advantage of a SLI function to run two of them you will run out of space in your case really fast. Not a good solution to this problem with any type of video card though.

Other Thoughts: I can run World of Warcraft multi boxing 5 accounts and this monster gives me over 45FPS without turning down the graphics. Running it on max resolution wtih my 22"lcd doesn't effect my games at all.

Rating + 5 Great!


Pros: Very fast, very cool, plays Crysis, Far Cry 2, Mirror's Edge all at 60FPS+ highest settings and 4XAA (Haven't tried 16x or anything, but no doubt it could handle it) running 1280x1024. Even recorded a full screen video earlier in Crysis still running smooth. It's cooling is great, it runs at about 60 Celius (max) in Crysis with just two fans in my machine, one in the front and one in the back. I was honestly worried this thing would overheat a lot in my rig, but it runs fine.

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: These aren't really considered cons per se. (Hence why I posted it here) just slight annoyances to the average OCD person that would buy this card:

Fan is very loud on 100% louder than my back case fan which is also at 100% but this doesn't bother me at all. Fans have never bothered me.

Only other thing is it's big, but that's already been stated. Few centimeters left in my case between the card and the floppy bay, also be aware it takes up two expansion slots.

But none of these are real cons, to me anyway.

Rating + 5 Exactly what you'd expect


Pros: This is a basic GTX 275. Stock cooler, no overclock out of the box. It runs relatively quiet (I can't hear it over the low to moderate volume of my system, which is no wind tunnel). There hasn't been an issue in the 6-months I've owned the card, and it's run every game I've played at or very close to max settings (I'm looking at you, Crysis).

Cons: None. Keep in mind that it likely can be overclocked to the same levels as any GTX 275 using the same basic nVidia cooler, but chips are often binned by performance. A particular card may not OC as high as their pre-OC'd bretheren, while others will.

Other Thoughts: The red coloring on the metal plate facing outwards when the card is installed is cool. It adds a welcome splash of color to an otherwise ho-hum design.

Rating + 5 Solid card, great deal


Pros: Runs graphic intensive games on high/ultra high with no problems at all (ARMA2), absolutely zero problems with Vista x64 bit. Got a free Batman game from newegg ^_^

Cons: Its so big it takes up 2 slots of room in my giant Coolermaster case. If I did SLI with this card I'd have no room for anything else.

Other Thoughts: Bought this because my 8800GT started to flake out. Ive heard the GTX285 is worth the extra money but I've run some insane games on the 275 with no problems. EVGA makes a great card.

Rating + 5 Working Great!


Pros: Had this card for about 3 months now, and it's still working great being slightly overclocked. It will run most modern day games at high settings with ease, and is easily overclocked.

Cons: Nothing so far!

Other Thoughts: I went from 2x 8600 GT's in SLi to this card. It was a pretty big difference...about 10k more points in 3dMark 06, and noticeable fram rate increases (even with pushing the settings up from the other cards).

Great card, will probably purchase another for SLi...oh that will be sswweeeettt.

Running it on an Nvida Nforce 680i SLi LT, with Intel Quad core, and 2 MB RAM.

Pros: This card was a replacement of my HD3870. I have been a long time ATI consumer and have finally become sick of their garbage cards and software that have issues with just about every game I play. The GTX 275 was easy to install (my cab still has 4" of space with this card but its a big one) and the drivers and software were painless. I also purchased the ASUS 25.5" wide screen monitor and I was completely floored. At 19200X1200 this video card makes my games come alive. I felt this was the best bang for the buck against the three other higher cards.

Cons: Not being free is the only con I have right now.

Pros: Huge upgrade from my old 8800GT. Low heat and noise. Ability to use AA and AF with little performance hit.

Cons: Although the 200 series of cards support Physx, you still see a fair performance hit when it's enabled. We'll see how the next couple generations of cards handle it.

Pros: Fast!!
I upgraded from 2 7800gt's sli config to a single GTX 275 and this smokes them... I mean big time.
I know the 7800's are old but I didnt expect this much of an improvement.

Cons: It hurt to fork over $250ish for a graphics card, but the improvement was well worth it.

Other Thoughts: Very big card, those with mid towers and smaller compact type mobo's, you really need to read/research the specs of this card very carefully before buying it.

Pros: As far as bang for the buck go, this is hard to beat. You can get the one with larger memory (1792 mb I think), however 98% of the time, this will handle the load. I bought this for a friend, and you really can't tell the difference between his computer & mine, I have a 280 gtx.

Cons: Not really a con, but just something to know. To take advantage of the lifetime warranty, you must register your product with EVGA at their website.

Other Thoughts: Be sure to get EVGA precision-tune software from their site, and set your fan speed to 60-70%. This will keep temperatures down. Also get the latest drivers from Nvidia website for this. The latest drivers will give a significant performance boost.

Pros: Great card, running Crysis Wars at all best quality, 8x AA, and at 1080p. It seems like it runs hot (70-80C) but from what I understand that is normal.

Cons: It wasn't free....

Other Thoughts: I contacted EVGA support because I wasn't getting any video, and they replied to me in less than 10 minutes. I found out that I hadn't plugged in the 8 pin mobo cord all the way so it wouldn't even get to the BIOS. EVGA support is outstanding, and the card is too. Highly recommend EVGA.

Pros: Great price considering what you get, got a mail-in-rebate with mine and they got me my money in less than 3 weeks. That's blazin fast compared to some companies. Crazy-stable too, so much potential for overclocking. Buy the standard clocked version and save $50 cause they give you a program that any monkey could operate. I've got mine at 713core/1520shader/1260mem and it hasn't crashed once or gotten over 70deg, and thats with the fan at 55%. With 2 or 3 of these and waterblocks, who knows how fast they could go.

Cons: Don't use the toolless clips on your case. They may look and feel sturdy, but you don't want to risk such a heavy card with little pieces of plastic. You should have a billion screws lyin around anyway, right?

Other Thoughts: EVGA customer service is unprecedented. I called at 4:30 pacific time, and I got a human on the phone who actually knew what he was talking about. My question was pretty dumb in retrospect, but he helped me through it wonderfully. I'll keep buying EVGA if it means I can talk to a human being when stuff hits the fan. The Step-up program is pretty cool too, though I haven't used it yet.

Cons: too expensive for what it delivers

Other Thoughts: i play at 1920x1080
this was my first "expensive" graphic card, and my advice if you want high end graphic is to get two cheaper ones in sli, but avoid any multi gpu cards such as the 295 series (have a evga 295 gtx coop which crashes constantly - maybe incompatibility issues with amd mb or amd cpu?)

Pros: the two eggs are added onto the zero.. just because one of the gfx cards works.

Cons: Had all of the parts to my build.. ordered, and I got two of these graphics cards, and am going to run SLI.
BUT, when I plugged my monitor into this graphics card specifically, this one turned my monitor a weird, yellowish-tinge. I plugged the cable into my other gfx card and it worked just fine. I took the gfx cards out and switched slots in my mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128375 ; to see if it would make a difference, and it didn't change a thing. Tried finding any help online and all I got was that the gfx card is bad.

Other Thoughts: Other one works perfectly.

Pros: Good card but I did expect a little more power that what was given but that doesn't mean this is a bad card for its price and performance.
I only played Champions Online with Maxed settings, average 30fps with SMOOTH playing... 7800 GTX was about 30fps or less with far less advanced video settings but not smooth at all. I expected more fps with max settings with CO then I got. CPU is a DUO 3.33Ghz/fsb 1033 with 4 Gigs of System RAM.

Cons: BIG. The old Antec case I used to build a new system had a HD case for 5 drives... when I installed the video card it only allowed for 3 drives to fit in the HD Casing inside the PC Case, the video card took up the other two HD slots due to the length of the card and thickness. So I now I cant have a RAID backup drive off my main HD (WD 10k rmp).

Other Thoughts: Runs hot, but with a good air supply(fans/pc case) can keep the Temp lower then 80'c.

Pros: Amazing card. Plays every game I have tried at max settings max resolution perfectly. Decent color representation.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Make sure you have at least a 700 watt power supply with dual pcie outputs. Also, make sure to get a really fast cpu that can drive this card. When you play a modern game at max settings it puts a much greater load on the cpu. Recommend core i7 processor with this card as well as fast memory. Make sure to have very good cooling as well.

Rating + 5 Nice card, but loud and large


Pros: Works good in games and screen resolution of 1920x1200

Cons: A bit on the pricey side
Loud fan when it spins up to 100%
very large video card
does not support Directx 10.1 (only 10.0)

Other Thoughts: It's a reasonably nice video card, although a bit pricey. It plays all the games that I want to play (mostly 3D games) at a nice framerate with barely a hiccup at 1920x1200 resolution. I was going to buy the 260 but then found out it was considered by many if not most that it's the low end card, and this one is the middle range card. So I opted to spend a bit more and get this better card.

When the shopkeeper told me that it is a large card I told him that I wasn't worried as I had a eVga 8800GTS already in my computer, however this is even larger than the 8800 by about a good inch or more.

Thankfully it just squeezes into my Gateway computers case with about a 1/4 inch or so to spare.

It is rather loud when the fan is running at 100%, so keep that in mind if you need quiet when you are running intensive programs.

Cons: None, this card is the girl you can't hate for spending money on

Pros: Keep in mind when you buy this card if it will fit in your case. Because this card is 10.5 inches long . I'm using a Rosewill R5601-BK 0.8mm steel case and I had only 1/2 inch to spare. This card will handle anything you can throw at it at max settings. I ran a video stress test with Half life 2 lost coast and got 189 fps at 1900 X 1200 res.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Make sure your case has good air flow, since this card generates a lot of heat.

Pros: • It's a GTX 275 by EVGA

Cons: • The default fan-control will allow your card to reach upwards of 85c during tough gaming. That's insane.

Other Thoughts: Luckily, this is not a problem with the card like most people think. It is a problem with the Nvidia's fan-profile, which can be tweaked safely and free.

I made a guide on this, and EVGA awarded me a blue ribbon. Read it by searching something resembling: "GUIDE: Make Fan Speeds Automatically Adjust by Temp"

Rating + 5 I love to game


Pros: This is an exceptional card, no doubt. I only have a 22in monitor, so I didn't shell out for the 285. I replaced a 8600gt and the difference is pretty vast. I can crank out pretty much max AA on everything with highest details. This card absolutely demolished Fallout 3 and Resident Evil 5. Stalker Clear Sky still gives some pop-in, but that game was completely unplayable at the same settings with my old card. Overclocking is very easy with the Precision Tuner. I've only ever run benchmarks with RE5, though, and there was almost no difference in FRAPS between overclocked and stock settings, so whatev. However, I leave the application running at all times to adjust the fan, which I'll get into with the next section.

Cons: I know it's been said by just about every single person here, and I really didn't want to complain about this, but you really don't have any idea how huge this thing is until you see it. Really, you don't. I was able to more the harddrive rack, though, and everything was fine.

My biggest problem, however, is heat. The card's fan defaults to 40%, and it will adjust automatically, just not fast enough. The card idles anywhere from 57-60 C, which seems pretty hot. The hottest I've seen it get under load is while playing the Last Remnant, at which point it hit 91C. The fan only bumped up to 45-50%, so maybe the card has a really high threshold for heat, but when you're nearing the boiling point, I'm gonna get a little concerned. Whenever I play games, I manually set the fan anywhere from 75-90%, which usually keeps it around 75C.

Other Thoughts: I know my cons section is longer than my pros, but that's just because I want people to know what issues might cause them serious hurdles. I am 100% satisfied with the money I spent on this card, and would like to maybe get another for SLI/quad monitor support if the price ever drops or I get a nice tax rebate again. Let the eggs speak for themselves.

From real leet technical issues to noob where do i install this questions; EVGA has a technical support representative for you. they are 24/7 and their call waiting is sweet. When you call it tells you how long or the number of calls ahead of you. if its too long press 1 and hang up and they'll hit you back when its your turn (great for people for limited cell phone minutes)

Rating + 5 Upgrade from 8800GTS 320MB


Pros: Very significant upgrade from a 8800GTS. The memory amount was killing me in games at 1680x1050. So far I've played Trackmania with everything on the highest setting including antialiasing and anisotropic filtering and it rarely dips below 60FPS. Brothers in Arms Hells Highway plays very good at highest settings, sometimes dipping to 40FPS in some cutscenes where there's crazy amounts of polys. Medal of Honor Airborne is constantly stuck at 60FPS even with forced antialiasing. Need for Speed Shift with everything on highest sometimes dips to 30FPS but usually stays above 50. Grand Theft Auto 4 has everything on high with a view distance of 15 I think and I get about 20-30FPS but everybody knows this game was ported bad.

Card had superb packaging and came with everything needed, including a sticker for what it's worth.

Card stays pleasantly cool at 50% fan. I don't think I've seen it go past the low 60's. But, I keep a cool room and have good ventilation in my case. Plus it's wint

Cons: Maybe not as huge of a jump in performance as I would have thought but then again my 8800GTS was overclocked and volt-modded and I didn't do a direct comparison, however I do know that I uninstalled Brothers in Arms Hells Highway because I couldn't play it with enough FPS at 1680x1050 on my 8800. So, I don't really have any cons.

Other Thoughts: I laugh when people fry their cards with folding or complain that the card doesn't fold faster than a previous card. It's a graphics card, built to render scenes. Folding on home computers is silly and a waste of power. I don't have a problem with contributing to those causes, but if you and your buddies build computers with the sole purpose to fold, just buy a server that has multiple CPU's and was built for tasks like that.

Anyway, rant over. The power requirements for this card probably aren't what you think. It says 550-Watt with 40 amps on the 12v. I'm using an almost 2 year old Antec (Seasonic) 550-Watt with 42 amps and it hasn't given me any problems. Good reason to buy a quality PSU instead of one with lights and a claimed 1000-Watt output.

Pros: good card, FAST CARD, plays any game at max.

Cons: Whats the deal with the recent price hikes? The evga 275 is a good card but not too long ago it was around $200, now its $250...Not cool Nvidia, newegg, whoever else hikes the price. Is this due to the windows 7 and new gpu's about to be announced...this will cause all these cards prices to DROP significantly so I guess you people are trying to make as much cash flow as possible till the sudden drop less than a month away.

Other Thoughts: The so called recession is still upon us internet sales people...prices shouldn't go higher...people have reduced their spending already so jacking prices up even more will only hurt you greedy people in the long run.

Pros: Hard to think of a pro. It worked, but never as well as expected.

Cons: Its been an ok card, but not a great card, not even what I'd call a good card for the money spent. I bought this card for the main purpose of Folding@Home, but it hasn't given any more PPD than either my 9800 GTX+ or my GTX 260-216. Worse, I had to underclock it to keep it stable while the 9800 GTX+ and GTX 260-216 take an overclock easily. After five months of use, it is dying. The PPD dropped from 5600-6000 PPD to 2300-2500 PPD overnight.

Other Thoughts: I've bought several EVGA cards through the past, starting with a 7800 GTX and this is the first one that failed. Now I get to find out how good the EVGA warranty process is.

Pros: This card is amazing: Very powerful, silent, cheap and it comes with Cryostasis :P. I'm using this card with an ASUS striker extreme II mobo, 4G 1600 Corsair RAM and a pretty basic Quad Core processor and I run games like Stree Fighter 4, Crysis, Fallout 3, Cryostasis, COD: WaW, etc with the highest possible detail (8x+ AA) at 1440x900 res and my fps remains at a solid 60 :)
This means that with around $1000 you can build an amazing gaming rig that will handle pretty anything you throw at it.

Cons: None whatsoever

Other Thoughts: I think a lot of people have mentioned this already, but before you get one of these 200 series card by any manufacturer make sure you have at least a 700W power supply and enough room in your case to fit this monster (its about 12" long and it uses up an extra pci slot).

I'm running crysis warhead, mirror's edge, far cry 2, fallout 3 and more at my monitor's native res (1920x1080) with no problems whatsoever. After checking out some review sites this card only under-performs the gtx285 by a few frames, and beats the ati competition (hd4890) on many fronts
-Has a solid, weighty feel to it, great build quality
-7.3 graphics perf on win7 64 bit experience index

Cons: -Wish it had better cooling, although with no external help with cooling the card idles around 48/49C, when I placed a 120mm fan blowing at it from the side it lowered idling temps to 42C. After crysis it gets to 70C or so. Overall not bad, just wish it was even better.

Pros: Upgrading from my 8800 GTS to this thing seem like the cheaper way to go than spending money for a new motherboard / processor and ram. I'm glad I did this thing performs rock solid. Very powerful, I've overclocked it a little and notice a huge increase in performance from my 8800 GTS. Huge increase in fps, graphics quality and just a great card.

Cons: None, Love the card, EVGA for life!

Other Thoughts: About installation to the fellow Antec Nine Hundred Case holders. This card is about 2 inches longer than my 8800 GTS. You will have to be tricky in getting this thing in. My 8800 GTS on my mother board barely made it with how the Hard drive Cage is in the Antec 900 cases. But with the GTX 275 being 2 inches longer I had to move the Hard drive cage up a few slots as where my PCI slots where in my motherboard interfere with how it was originally position. It barely fits and still has good air flow. The card is at 40 degree C idle and while running wow it's at 47-50 degrees C.

Pros: Much faster than the 9800GT it replaced. Have already logged a couple hundred hours worth of gaming and benchmarks in the last month and the card has handled it all without any issues. Even in an 80F room it runs without any hiccups. Never notice the fan in an Antec 900 with fans set to low and hasn't run any higher than 55% on it's own so far. Coupled with a Phenom II 940 and 8GB DDR2 800MHz ram and this graphics card performs at it's maximum. World in Conflict runs perfect at maximum settings with 16X CSAA and 16X AF averaging 42FPS. I can max out GRID, including AA and AF with Vsync on and stay solid at 60FPS. Even Crysis is smooth at high settings and 4X AA or Very High without AA coming in around 35FPS. Other games like COD4 run in excess of 100FPS.

Cons: EVGA still doesn't produce high end AMD mainboards. Shucks.

Other Thoughts: Registering the card opened up the option to download Cryostatis, 3DMark Vantage, Crazy Machines 2 and the free Terminator: Salvation being offered at the time. Pushed the card hard with OCCT for an hour shortly after getting it. Hit 89C and kept running without any problems. Have played Crysis Wars on it extensively. Gamer settings and 4X AA and it's flawless.

GPU is attached to AMD Phenom II 940, 8GB G.Skill DDR2 800MHz RAM (4 x 2GB), Biostar TF8200+ MB wrapped up in an Antec 900. Works well with this setup.

Pros: You absolutely can not beat this card for the money! Games run smooth as silk! All games maxed out for beautiful realistic graphics. COD4 and COD5 rock over 100FPS. GRID rocks around 125FPS that's just one card! Just ordered my second one today! Can't wait to SLI my machine!

Cons: No cons that I can think of!

Rating + 5 Great bang for the buck


Pros: More then doubled what my 8800GTS XXX could handle without even touching the OC software yet. No need to buy any aftermarket cooling because of sound issues THIS THING IS QUIET! Handles anything I've thrown at it so far and does wonderful on the benchmarks. Might not be the absolute best but it is well worth the money. Also newegg got it to me in 2 days instead of 3 so thats always nice as well.

Cons: Its huge. I have a giant Thermaltake steel case as it is and this card only allowed an inch of space between it and my hard drives. This is 10.5 inches long so make sure you have the room. Also runs a little hot but thats to be expected with any higher end video card these days.

Rating + 5 Great card


Pros: Can play Crysis very smooth @ medium, 30-40 fps @ high.
I have everything up all the way in COD4 and i get 80-90fps all the time!

Cons: Having issues with electrical noise the card emits to the speakers. Sounds weird i know, but i am not the only one with the problem.
Despite the audio issue, i think this is a great card. It doesn't affect the cards performance at all, so 5 eggs from me!

Other Thoughts: For those concerned with the audio noise issue, check out the evga forums, search for "new GTX 275 causing audio noise?"

Rating + 5 Awesome Video Card


Pros: Easy to OC
Lower temps compared to my gtx8800
Runs almost all my games at 1920x1200 with max graphics

Cons: Fan is loud at 100%

Other Thoughts: I upgraded from a gtx8800 to this card. My gtx8800 wasn't really handling my games well at 1920x1200 resolution so I got this card. Its a lot better and my temps are a lot lower, I was getting between 80C to 90C with my gtx8800 but with this card I get about 65C to 75C.

Also I was able to OC my card to these settings
Core Clock - 740MHz
Shader Clock - 1600MHz
Memory Data Rate - 1290MHz
I got about 10 extra fps in my games with the OC and almost just as good as a GTX285! I defiantly recommend this card!

Rating + 5 GTX275 SUPERCLOCKED FOR $165.


Pros: price
rebate
game download
warranty
performance
power connectors on top
its evga from newegg

Cons: I did have to remove my hard drive cage and push them as far back as possible to make it fit -if the power connectors were on the back, like most other cards, I don't think I could have made it fit -connections on top is specifically one reason I bought this one

this really isn't a con, but one card performs about equal to the two 8800gt's in sli I had before -in some cases better, in some case worse

Other Thoughts: I bought this card for 230. + free ship and $20. rebate and $20. back in your paypal acc. when bought with paypal –so that’s $190. –then sold the game download for $25.(I feel absolutely no grieveing for not being able to play batman), which equals an actual price of $165. –also, to the guy saying they’re really not the oc version, even though they are oc’ed –take a look at the model number in any info software (sandra, everest, etc) and you’ll see that it says model # 896-P3-1171-AR, which IS the overclocked version -to the guy who says "evga let me down and I guess xfx is the way to go" c'mon, you know it happens and happens with xfx just the same -I have always had xfx in past and got two xfx hd4890's in a row that were defective, but I'm not going to drop xfx because of it -both companies will bend over backwards for life to get you a good card (and will send you a prepaid shipping label if you ask nice) -what else do you want them to do? so anyway, great card

Pros: Blows my old 8800GT away. Every game I have I can run with the settings maxed out without a hiccup.

Cons: None at the moment

Other Thoughts: It is a big card but I knew that before I bought it. Had to rotate it a bit to get it to fit in my NZXT Zero case. Free Batman game is nice, although I have to wait till the 15th to download it. Runs at 45C at idle and about 67C at load with the fan set at 70% I like the EVGA precision software. Very simple and effective. Newegg rocks!!!

Rating + 5 Fantastic GPU


Pros: Coming from an 8800gtx, I can confidently say that I got my money's worth with this GPU. With a Q6600 clocked at 3.0ghz, I'm able to run Crysis Warhead at 30-45 fps on max settings and no AA. My frame rate stayed mostly solid without any dramatic hiccups, even while in a demanding firefight. Looks great out of the box, also.

Cons: Fairly large. Same length as my 8800gtx, but much thicker. I had to move one of my hard drives to fit it into my Antec P182. Runs somewhat hot. (65c+ under load)

Rating + 5 Not sc Edition


Pros: This card is great, its not the SC edition like some are claiming, but it does have the same clock speeds. Curious? see other thoughts

Cons: I'd like there to be just a little more ram, or perhaps better than ddr3 ram?

Other Thoughts: Ok, so i read someone else claiming their 275 was a sc edition. Obviously i was curious about my card so i popped open precision and sure enough, 648 core and all the rest of the clocks matching what it said the sc edition was. However, i still have my original box, and i looked up what the box of the sc edition looks like. they are identical except for in the upper right corner it says sc edtion for the sc edition. My box doesnt have that so i come to the conclusion EVGA overclocked this edition, perhaps someone with a real sc edition could tell us what its real clocks are? maybe these shouldnt be overclocked out of the box. who knows what happened but its not the sc edition as far as i can tell

Rating + 5 It's alive!


Pros: This thing is a monster! Runs great on Windows 7 x64 RC, playing COD4 with 200+ fps. I have bought EVGA cards for years now, and I am continually impressed. Very beautiful card and it's a shame that I have to mount it face down. The fan is crazy powerful.

Cons: Only one. The fan would not go past 40% for some reason which put the temp up to 85°C in-game. Easily fixed by using custom fan profiles with a utility that I apparently can't list here.

Other Thoughts: The GTX 275 is essentially half a GTX 295, but a much better bargain. I spent about a month reading reviews and benchmarks and I'm very happy with this decision. The GTX 260 is a great card for the price, but the GTX 275 hangs right up there with the GTX 285 in total frame rates for a great cost/performance ratio.

In a benchmark at Tom's HW, the GTX 285 had a total frame rate of all games tested of 449.6 at 1680x1050, 442.5 for the GTX 275, and 400.7 for the GTX 260. The Radeon HD 4890 had 428.8, and the HD 4870 had 395.1.

Rating + 5 Great Card - Missing Rebate =?


Pros: Pro's Strictly to the Hardware - Not TOO Big. 448-bit Interface Will Allow Games with Large Numbers of Textures, Mostly Suggesting MMO types with Large Scale RvR / PvP elements being a REAL Strong Point here. I am Able to play Warhammer Online - With 400 People Onscreen, With Internal Eye Candy Specullar Lightmapping, Spell effects, Character Detail Draw Distance, all to the highest.

Even with 400 Poeple with Spells Blasting and All looking gorgeous, I have YET To Drop under 60FPS . Only time My Frame Rate Stops, is when I Fly to a new zone and it needs to Load all new Textures for the Zone.

This Card is teh PERFECT Solution for those Runnign the Inbetween Resolution of 1680x1050. And An Amazing Upgrade for those who Currently have 8800 GTS 640 MB, As this is a Proper Step up, 4480bit Interface, Faster Core, Stronger Shader processors, Lower Thermal Output - Shoudl last every a Year atleast till Good DX11 Titles / cards are out.

Evga precision tool isnice for Temp Monitor

Cons: For this, so Far being a Driver and Newegg Related Issue. When I purchased this, there was a $20 MIR available, which I cannot Find now. So my decent Deal is Quickly Becomming a Bad Deal. If not for the Game I would probobly Try to return this and this is no longer at the $200 Price point that I wanted to be at..

Only actual Con is for Nvidia Drivers, and this may be an easy fix, just have not foudn it yet. on XP Pro 32-bit There seems to be no access to the NVidia Use Control Panel. So Settings for AA / AF are Unaccessable, and all the fun stuff. I can get to all of that with Riva†uner, however Riva†uner is Fairly Complicated with the Wording of what Does what, and seems to have quite a Bit more option's than I have reallybeen used to.

Other Thoughts: Current Machine :

Stock Intel Core i7 920
Noctua U12P (I need to Find a Bolt Through Kit!!!)
Asus P6T Deluxe (Not V2!)
Corsair CMPSU-750TX Modular PSU
3 x 1gb Transcend AxeRam (this is a Dual Channel Kit that I am running in triChannel)
CoolerMaster HAF 932

This Rig Replaced my Opty 165 at 315 FSB on DFI LanParty SLI-DR, 2 x 1 GB DDR1 Corsair XMS Plat at 560mhz Stable, and Good old 8800GTZ 640MB

I am sure I will try to put the 8800 GTS 640mb as a Physx Card if possible.



Other Than that, Really kind of Sad that i cannot find the $20 MIR For my card.

Newegg: I will Gladly accept something of $20 Worth

Rating + 5 Monster Card


Pros: Super Fast...Faster then my previous dual EVGA 9800GTX+ in SLI. Outstanding EVGA finish and Quality. I run crysis at 1920x1080 high settings no AA or AF and i jumped 10 frames more than dual 9800GTX+ in sli.

Cons: Super long. Its over an inch longer than the 9800GTX+

I have the coolermaster 690 case and I had to remove one of built in cable management ties to fit this card

Futuremark score dropped from 16,500 to 15,000. Its futuremark though. those numbers mean nothing.

Requires two 6 pin power cables.

Other Thoughts: I run an intel core 2 E8400 clocked to 3.6 on an EVGA 780i sli motherboard, Antec 550W PSU, creative xfi fatality, 4 gigs of ocz reaper 1066, windows 7 64 RC1. I upgraded to this card to run crysis better. I previous sli setup was great but i was bottle necked at my psu. I couldnt push the cards beyond stock unless i upgraded to somewhere around 650W or more. A single card setup is more reliable, requires less power, and puts out less heat. I've played through COD, COD WAW, Asassins creed, Bioshock, Masseffect. Oblivion, Fallout3, and all of those games ran great maxed out. Crysis was the only game that gave me trouble at 1080p and i didnt want to sacrafice quality. Im selling my sli setup which makes this upgrade free.

Rating + 5 Amazing


Pros: This card is pretty amazing. Coming from the first graphics card I ever had (an nvidia 6800), this thing is a huge improvement. It can play every game I have max settings, Aion, WoW, Cryostasis, Left 4 dead, you name it, it pretty much tears through it (of course, I had to turn on forced vertical sync, otherwise it had trouble). The EVGA Precision software that comes with it is pretty nifty too, keeps an eye on the clock speeds, fan speeds, and allows for easy overclocking.

Cons: There was one time that i used the software to bump up some of the specs just a tiny bit and it temporarily killed it, it didn't please me, but I haven't tried it again for fear that it might happen again, permanently.

Like i said above though, I had to turn on vertical sync in order to play all the games i have max settings. Otherwise when i played them i had some trouble even on the lowest settings.

Other Thoughts: REMEMBER TO PUT ON FORCED VERTICAL SYNC.

Pros: Very fast, runs crysis wars on high settings with 8x AA @ 1440x900 windowed.

does not use much power, can run 2 in SLI on a 750w PSU

Cons: Runs very hot (85c +) even in a very well ventilated case (HAF 932), as my fan is always at 40% speed and does not ramp up when it gets hot like some other cards do.

I used some overclocking software to control the fan speed based on temperature and now it runs around 65c under load.

Rating + 1 EVGA A Rip-Off Spend your money on something eles!


Pros: I was about to buy this card because the 8800GTS I bought from Newegg on 06/30/2007 died. So I thought I would buy this and RMA the other card, when it came in I would use it in my work system! But that is not to be, i.e. I was told by EVGA "To bad you lose, no lifetime warranty for you" I had to register the card in July of 2007 to get the $25.00 mail in rebate that they also did not want to pay!! After 4 1/2 months of nothing from them, it took a threat of a federal trade commission complaint before they paid that.

Cons: Well they do not HONOR anything they say!! I was about to plop down another $250.00 on an EVGA card, but if it dies will they honor the warranty?? so far the answer is NO. And I see this card also has a mail in rebate, good luck with that!!

Other Thoughts: After spending 24 years in the US Army I know all about HONOR. And what a man takes to his grave, his honor his word, that's it! So far EVGA has been all about the bottom line and the dollar. There is no honor in ether. So before you slap down your $250.00 thinking your going to get that mail in rebate or you think they are going to honor that "Manufacturer Warranty
Parts: Lifetime limited
Labor: Lifetime limited"
Think again, So far EVGA has no honor and there word means nothing!!
Manufacturer Response:Hi,

Please contact me directly with your post and serial number so I can work directly with you.

Rating + 5 Sweet Card


Pros: This card is amazing. Brilliantly fast, runs every game I throw at it at max setting with high fps and runs cool (non sli). The included precision software gives you nice control over the cards gpu, memory, shader clock, and onboard fan. As of right now I have it OC'd about 15% with no problems. Also note that EVGA's lifetime warranty covers problems from improper overclock settings.

The first one of these from newegg was DOA...it happens Im not going to dock eggs for the occasional bad hardware. I would like to say that EVGA's technical support department is top notch. A shining example of what what tech support should be. They all speak understandable english, are open 24 hours, and are actually knowledgeable about their products. When applying for the RMA I had it cross shipped and we recieved the new card within 3 days. EVGA, I love you, and thank you for a job well done.

EVGA also has a special step-up program, it lets you upgrade for the difference of the price.

Rating + 5 Awesome card


Pros: Very Fast. One handles Crysis with all settings on High with no problem. I bought 2 in SLI, and Very High is easy(30-40FPS) They do run pretty hot though, even in an Antec 900.

Cons: Run hot in sli

Rating + 5 Excellent GPU


Pros: It's EVGA, you're buying one of the best brands in the GPU industry. I upgraded from a BFG 8800GT OC and the difference in power was amazing. A great upgrade choice for those looking for cards above the 8 & 9-series.

Also, this comes with EVGA's Precision overclocking software. Super-easy OCing!

Cons: size (but it fit perfectly in my Apevia X-Cruiser case)

Other Thoughts: This card is 10.5 inches long

Rating + 4 Good card!


Pros: Swift. Gameplay is smooth on games that I thought were demanding. Unless the card blows up, I am set for a couple of years probably.

Cons: Sometimes, the card makes a high pitched whiny noise called Coil Noise (I googled the noise). This typically happens to me in the main menus for some games like Oblivion or Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl.

Also, the intial driver release was inadequate. Proper driver support came 1 driver release later (as in listed in driver notes as supported).

Other Thoughts: Irritating coil noise in some game menus. Other than that, great card.

Rating + 5 Get Two


Pros: Price to performance ratio is outstanding. By itself a worthy piece of hardware, in SLI it puts every game I've tried in a headlock and doesn't let go. Also wasn't sure when I got them, but it seems, after reading several reviews here, they send out the SSC versions from all indications. This makes the clocks slightly faster than the baseline CO-OP GTX 295 for an added bonus.

Cons: Size of the cards if you didn't do your homework. There are plenty of reviews that clearly state these are jumbo sized units. These cards thrive in full tower cases. If you use a mid tower or smaller be prepared to potentially sacrifice a hard drive spot or two. Two stuffed in a cavenous Lian-Li PC-B70 do not have this issue whatsoever.

Other Thoughts: Trying to remove the smirk on my face is impossible when playing.

Rating + 5 Awesome board


Pros: This board is amazing, was looking at the classified, but for the machines I was building had very little reason to go beyond this one. Setup was great, 2 boards were recieved and setup, no issue with either of them.

Installed both boards in seperate Liang Li PCV-2000 towers

Cons: Had an issue fitting in the Noctua NH-U12P heatsink, tight fit, but eventually got everything snug in there. Heatsink touches my Corsaid dominator ram, and that giant heatsink on the board, but still, very nice all around.

Other Thoughts: I love EVGA and newegg.

Rating + 5 Update big and fast


Pros: I guess I got the factory overclocked version evga precision post 648 clock and 2376 memory.

Cons: Temps got better read O.T.

Other Thoughts: My temp Idel went down to 46 c. Love this card and all the extras I got. You can't go wrong with Newegg and EVGA. This is my third EVGA card.
