Great performance for cheap

I ordered this to replace 2 PNY 7900 GS graphics cards running on my aging SLI rig that has a MSI K8N Diamond Plus Socket 939 motherboard with an Athlon 64 3700 San Diego. You really can't beat the price/performance ratio for this card. It's a little cheaper than the 8800GT and outperforms it slightly. With this performance boost, I can now play all the games I have at max resolution for my 22" monitor (1680x1050) with high quality settings, anisotropic filtering and sometimes anti-aliasing. The games include Bioshock, Hellgate London, Titan Quest, Elder Scrolls Oblivion and a number of others I stopped playing because of performance issues. I got 6874 on 3D Mark 06.

If you have an aging PCI-E system with an older graphics card this will definitely give you a boost.

None really. The card is a little bit on the large side so make sure you have plenty of room in your case and good airflow.

If you buy an EVGA product, don't forget to register it or you won't get the limited lifetime warranty.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Great Card

Enjoyed it for the 2 days I had it. A very noticeable improvement over the ATI 3850 256MB it was to replace. Was able to run all my games (Fallout 3, Mass Effect, L4D, The Witcher: EE, COD5) at max settings.

One of the DVI ports was dead, RMA'd for a replacement. Newegg didn't send a replacement, they instead automatically issued a refund (not including the original shipping charge) because the card was out of stock the day BEFORE they receive it. Yet the day they did receive it and the 2 days afterward the card was listed as in stock.

Contacted customer support, they went ahead and processed the refund then said if I still wanted the card I should order again...

Nothing major just a bit disappointed/annoyed with newegg.
