Newegg Customer Service Is The Best!

First the card, What can I say that hasn't already been said about this card. Yes its big but you get big performance from it. I didn't bother overclocking since it runs LOTRO at 1600x1200 with 8x AA at 62FPS consistently.

Second, Newegg customer service is the best. I had the same $40 rebate snafu that others have reported. When you type in the offer code into the worldwiderebates.com web site, the purchase dates on the form are only valid from 11/1 to 11/4 not 11/1 to 11/30 as listed. I called wwrebates and guess what?, no answer, *click*. I opened a chat window to Newegg customer service and Jeffrey promptly refunded $40 to my credit card. It took less than 5 minutes. No wonder I've been a Newegg customer since last century!

worldwiderebates. 'nuff said.

The card fits nicely in an Antec 900 case but does block two of the drive bays in the upper drive mounting. If you want to install more than 4 drives you'll need a different case. 50C idle, 65C loaded.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Got a bad apple I guess.

I bought this particular gtx 260 because EVGA is a very well favored company.. Unfortunately I didn't fare so well.

Missing two of the adapters.

Loud high pitched buzz fluctuates with certain games/apps..

Like everyone has said, it is very large. Make sure it's going to fit in your case and not cover any connectors on your motherboard that you may need.

Factory clock speeds were different than specs listing..

Played Farcry 2 for about 10 minutes before the screen went blank/system locked..

I understand that pretty much any company will produce duds on occasion, I just had some bad luck.. This review is based on my particular experience.
