2 x 7950 will NOT beat 2 x 7900GTX 512's
- Pros: Hmmm...well if you had only ONE PCIe slot and wanted to do SLI this would be a option. I bought TWO and tried Quad SLI. For those who do not know...ANY of the 91 drivers (91.31,91.33,& the 91.37) will "see" the two cards and let you "turn on" Quad SLI. I replaced two 7900GTX 512 SC cards with these two...big mistake! The two 7900GTX's KILLED the 7950's. And yes...I tried ALL the drivers. And YES...I have a BIG hi-res screen (24" Dell @ 1920x1200). My highst 3Dmark06 score w/the 7950's was around 8500/ My high score with the 7900GTX's is 10,245!
- Cons: Not any so to speak...just make sure you know what your getting into. It cracks me up when I read all these reviews. I see guys upgrading from some ol 5200 or 6600 to this card. YES...you will seee a BIG difference going that route. But if you have a pair of 7900GTX cards...stay with them.
I took the 15% "re-stocking: fee hit from Newegg and sent them back.
- Other Thoughts: Quad SLI might some day be a great thing. As of now...well...it is just a braging thing with NO REAL WORLD gains.

Awesomely fast but has issues
- Pros: FAST! FAST! FAST! Overclocks nicely (with lots of airflow) With Athlon X2 4800 I got 8045 in 3D Mark 2006 at 700/1400 and FEAR runs maxed out at 1680x1050!!! The best bang for the back and fastest single video card without a doubt.
- Cons: Compatibility issues - read below :(( Hot, needs lots of airflow - not really a con considering speed but gotta mention that. Unhelpful phone tech support:(
- Other Thoughts: The card is wicked fast But... it has some issues, that's why only 3 stars, average rating. For a $500 product this has too many raw edges. I wish I read the EVGA forums before buying, I'd have avoided wasting a day trying to get it to work...
It has confirmed issues with some RAID controllers. In my case the on board Silicon Image PCI SATA RAID on the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. It has to be turned off, it just doesn't work with this card, its BIOS won't load at all. Also, the Auzentech (formerly Blue Gears) X-Mystique 7.1 doesn't work with this video card in this combination. In both cases there is some low level BIOS incompatibility and so far no one really takes responsibility for it. So, I had to get rid of a few hard drives and go back to on-board Realtek sound in order to get the sweet/insane framerates. I'm not very happy in the end - too much of a tradeoff.
FYI, I had the latest BIOS, drivers, etc. Before you buy this card check out EVGA forums to see if people with similiar g

Makes VISTA fly !
- Pros: Great card. Cheaper and almost same performance as dual-7900 GTX. Also good since some games have issues with SLI. This way you get the performance with the issues.
- Cons: The GX2 isn't the only card to have issues w/ Silicon Image RAID. My older ATI card did as well.
- Other Thoughts: This is my "WoW" factor. Also to comment on what others have said, why would you bother using the Si-RAID if you have NVIDIA which is way better, especially if you are using SATA-II or a WD Raptor. And I use Creative SoundBlaster X-FI, no issues there.
Wonderful Card, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE
- Pros: Amazing performance, beautiful and smooth rendering in many 3d games with high settings, easily controlled through nVidia's ntune (for those of you worried about the high temps), very easily overclocked
- Cons: Takes up a LOT of space. I made the mistake of trying to force this into a tiny Lian Li microatx case, on top of my SATA ports no less! Horrible mistake. Please, please, please make sure you have the space for this in your case, and that the card won't be crushing or moving anything else in your machine.
- Other Thoughts: Well worth the money, but make sure you intall nTune to control the fan speeds and high temperatures (though I'm sure it was safe, I prefer having the louder fans and more 'stable' low temps), as well as making sure there's enough room to support this behemoth.
Fast Card!!
- Pros: Extremely fast, very happy with it. Only requires one slot.
- Cons: No DirectX 10, but no cards had that when I bought this a few months ago
