Not that great

EVGA 02G-P3-1187-AR GeForce GTX 285 FTW Edition 2GB 512-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 02G-P3-1187-AR GeForce GTX 285 FTW Edition 2GB 512-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Fast video card.

Cons: It overheats like crazy. I play COD, Crysis, and others and it dies after 10 minutes. Temps reach 95 degrees C and screen goes black. I ran OCCT stress test and same thing... I put the fan 100% and temps stabilize at 92 degrees, but I'm worried about burning a hole in my motherboard and stopped the stress test after 15 minutes. Make sure you have adequate cooling, if you don't don't waste the extra cash on the "For The Win" version. Go for the regular GTX 285.

Overall Review: The card is 2 inches longer than my old 8800GTS. Make sure you have room. Measure before you buy!
