what more do you want for the money?
Pros: Small, quiet, cheap.
Cons: USB + power cables are a bit short, but no big deal.
Overall Review: Worked flawlessly right out of the box. Yeah, it gets a bit warm but that's cuz the case is aluminum. Warm, not hot. Overall what more could you ask for for $60? My first time ordering from newegg and it certainly wont be the last
Might be good, but...
Pros: Cheap, looks good.
Cons: Arrived severely damaged. Looks like someone kung-fu kicked the side panel. Is concaved enough that I could probably eat my cereal out of, and the clear panel is cracked in two. Have ordered cheap cases from newegg in the past with no issues. Buyer beware! I'll update this review after RMA process is complete, assuming the replacement arrives intact and I can actually complete the build.
Great entry level / budget card
Pros: Really decent frame rates at medium - high settings. Will handle ultra settings if you don't mind 20-30 fps. Works flawlessly right out of the box. EVGA is the cream of the Nvidia crop. Drivers are excellent, and Precision X is the best OC/monitor program out there.
Cons: Runs hot if you don't have excellent airflow in your case. During summer months it was hitting up to 86C. Not a big deal though, card is very well made and can take the heat. No crashes regardless of temp.
Overall Review: Got this card back in august for my budget gaming setup. Paid about $130 after rebates, and was worth every penny. This is a great card for the gamer on a budget, but if you want to max everything out and get 60 fps you need to go up a few levels. Will be replacing w a GTX 670 4gb soon (EVGA of course). Overall a great entry level card for someone who doesn't have $400+ to spend. This is the 4th EVGA card I have bought for various builds, and I'm a customer for life! I've had nothing but problems w ATI drivers, and ever since I got turned on to Nvidia/EVGA I'll never go back. ATI cards may be a bit cheaper/ faster, but you get what you pay for in the long run.
