Good Card for the money

Pros: This card has brought new life to an older machine. Moved from a GForce 4 420. I've been playing Dawn of War, BF Vietnam, Guild Wars, & Doom 3. All perform great.

My PS is only 300watts and I've had no power problems.

It looks cool and fit in the system perfectly.

Cons: Not much to the manual. Basiclly, open your system, install the card, and load the drivers.

Other Thoughts: I ordered it with the basic 3 day shipping at 1:30pm on a Monday and UPS had it at my door by 1pm on Tuesday. Can't beat that at all. It made the trip from Tenn. to Louisiana in 24hrs. I've purchased from Newegg before and will do so again because of service like this.

I would definantly recommend Newegg and this card to any one.

Awesome Card

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Lets see It runs at great speeds and cooling is not a problem with its stock fan. 256MB memory for the card is a great size plus its GDDR3 with 256 bit. And I have a 430 PSU and it runs great so dont believe everything about peoples stories.Also I bought this card cause my old 6800 died. I could only run things on med-high with that card but with this one all HIGH!!! and 4x AA. GEEAT

Cons: The only bad thing is that i couldnt unlock all the pipelines. I was able to get 12pp 5vp. But I wanted to get 16pp 6vp. Anyways thats not bad at all cause I would probably get artifacts if I was able to do that.

Other Thoughts: If you install the lastest Nvidia drivers then you can get that nice control panel and set the clocking rate to automatic which is really nice.

Great card for AGP

Reviewed By: Taonari on 1/31/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Fast card for AGP line. Fans are fairly quiet. Lights on card and a nice effect if you happen to have a clear case door.

Cons: High power requirements listed on packaging. Card requires 500 watt power supply. I was using an Enlight 420w until it died from a power surge (weather related). Right now it runs stable with my old Enermax 350w so it should run fine with a decent power supply.
