Certainly an improvement from a 8 pixel pipeline of ATI X700 to this card. This gets an avg of 80-100 FPS in CS:S on 1600X1200 with all HIGH settings. Wonderful for the games *I* play, dont know about the others. Certainly a good buy if you dont have a monster power supply, and its easily overclockable. With Coolbits had optimal settings detected at 533/1.22, which I backed down due to some artifacts. But that's still close to a 15% OC!!!
Ran a little hot 50C when OCed but fan is very quiet.
Plently of cables, and EVGA support and step up program to upgrade your card and get full credit for what you paid within 90 days of purchase.
Very long board, had to reconfigure my HD bays in an Antec case to fit.
The step up program is a *one time* program and you have to purchase thru evga, dunno how their prices compete with newegg's... cause no one beats newegg with service and choices.
I think if you are stretching your wallet for a card that will last you 6 months to a year and wait for the next generation, this card will certainly do it. 7000 series are certainly better, but they cost more $$$ obviously. This card will amply makes games available now playable as far as rez and FPS.
If you are concerned with longevity 1 year or longer, then I would go with the 7000 series to play games that will require the extra pixel pipelines, etc.
Beautiful picture when it worked. Fan wasn't too loud
It died after it's 24 hour burn period. Didn't even make it to it's first day of use!!
New Egg shipped awesomely fast as usual!! RMA process has been smooth so far...
