EVGA 512-P3-N862-AR GeForce 9600GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: This card is awesome,I have had x1950xtx, 2900xt, 2900pro, 8800gts 320 and this card has outperformed all of them hands down. It killed the rest of the benchmarks of these other cards by a huge margin. CC3, CoD4, Supreme Commander all maxed out with great eye candy and results.

Cons: I wish people like Stitso would actually own the cards or even have a clue before posting their, clearly ignorant cons of a card!! I am just sick of coming on here to get help from other buyers, on making a decision on what to get and you get these self proclaimed "Highly Knowledgable" people that always have something bad to say on something they have never owned. That being said....

Overall Review: I done a lot of research for deciding on this card. I was almost going to get the 3870 , but after reading all the results from a TomsHardware review,this thing performed almost even with it w/o AA on. But once you turned on that eye candy this card killed it. So in MY OPINION, I would say for the price it can't be beat.

Pros: It is a great card for the price. With updated bios it will work excellent.

Cons: Faulty bios. Black screen when loading games. The black screen does not appear for all games. It is sorta random. Some games for some people, it will go black others it wont. Do your research and read through the evga forums. It's not just evga other manufacturers are having the same issue with the batch of boards with the faulty bios.

Overall Review: If you get one with faulty bios (evga knows about the issue with this card)Be prepared to go through the RMA process. I was unlucky and got one and am ticked off because it will take about 2 weeks + to get it back. Had I known about the bios issue I would have looked for a way to get a card with the updated bios...If that is even possible. Good luck and purchase at your own risk!
