Great bang for the buck
Pros: Fast, easy install, low wattage, six cores for under $90! Comes with pre-silvered heatsink/fan.
Cons: I had to wait until Christmas to install it.
Overall Review: Popped out the old Athlon Phenom quad-core and popped in this one with the new heatsink/fan. Easy peasy. Fallout 4 loves it - even with my older-gen GeForce 750i 2GB vid card, it's running at ultra settings.
Title is very misleading, NOT A CONVERTER
Pros: Both ends plugged into their respective ports properly
Cons: Even though the title says "VGA Connector Adapter CONVERTER Cable for HDTV", in the product "Overview" it clearly also says: "This cable functions as a signal transmitter, but NOT A SIGNAL CONVERTER." I wonder how many other people will buy it just by reading the title since it CLEARLY says CONVERTER? Not cool. It was too cheap to bother sending it back.
Overall Review: Over ten years of buying from them and I've never had a NewEgg problem before - you guys better check on your copy writer's quality control.
Great bang for the buck - LONG but quiet card
Pros: I got it for $220 after rebate - great price for the performance. Runs quiet. Upgraded from a 750ti so you can imagine the improvement. Runs Witcher 3 @1080/maxed setting and I get 50-ish frames/sec. Just Cause 3 maxed @1080 hovers around 45 even during heavy firefights. Those are the only games I've played on it so far - looking forward to Watch_Dogs 2 with Dx12.
Cons: This card is long. Very, very long. I've been doing this since 1994, I've owned a lot of video cards - this card is long.
Overall Review: Under $250 this card is a no brainer. My specs: AMD FX-6300 6-Core 3.5 GHz, 16GB RAM, SSD You've been warned: This card, she is long.
Easiest drive I ever installed
Pros: Small, light, easy install, great price, fast transfers, quicker boot with W7. Plugged it in, fired up the computer, went into Windows, activated the drive, formatted - ready to go.
Cons: No way to secure it without an adapter kit, but I knew this going in.
Overall Review: Purchased to installed Fallout 4, but used as my OS drive as well. Not very large, but enough for me for now. Load times for the game using ultra textures is minimal.
Rippin' it up!
Pros: These things work as they should and look good doing it.
Cons: I don't know - how about "You still have to pay for them, they're not free."
Overall Review: I bought a set of these maybe four years ago to bump from (2x2GB) to (2x2GB + 2x4GB). Recently one of the 2GB's started causing BSoD's so I picked up another set of 2x4GB Ripjaws to get a total of 16GB. Skinny money, under sixty bucks for 8GB. When I bought my first computer ('94), RAM was $50 per MEGABYTE. At those prices, this (unfeasible at the time) purchase would have cost me $400,000. Ram prices have dropped nearly 99.99% in just over 20 years. Now get off my lawn!
Nice card
Pros: Dx11, faster than my old card, HDMI audio, good price
Cons: 1GB VRAM instead of 2GB
Overall Review: Upgraded from an EVGA GeForce GTX275, so this is nice. Far Cry 4 runs with everything just about maxxed @ 1920 x 1080. GTA IV looks very nice. EVGA is very pro-active with their rebates. They sent me a reminder to mail it in and another message when they processed it. Thanks!
Accurately described
Was supposed to arrive Thursday, got here Friday but probably not their fault, I blame Fedex. Mouse was new as advertised, not in Retail box (like they said) but shipped in a box within another box - well protected, thank you. Reasonable price too.
