Pros: Fantastic upgrade from an ATI 3460. Running a Del optiplex 745 with a Core 2 duo, 4gb of GSkill Ram, and Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, 1440x900. Can run L4d2 at stock high settings. Can Run Fallout GOTY at High Settings. Both games are at 60FPS most of the time. Does not require extra power cord attached which is great for tiny low profile cases like this. Card Fits like a glove, cooling unit is as flush as the header so it goes great with tiny cases.

Cons: I'm pretty sure this runs a little hot, I will have to check. Idle's at 61C with fan at 22% During games went up around 75C and fan kicked on all the way. I know there are tweaks for this will have to see if I can get the fan running better

Overall Review: For the price I cant complain. I will try and see what I can do about cooling the card if the temps are too high. Other than that great product! Breathes life into systems you might think are worthless!

Pros: - Extreme performance at an acceptable cost - Seems to have OK thermal performance

Cons: - Lived for about 1 hour of Doom and 2 hours of Tomb Raider

Overall Review: I installed this after paying overnight shipping an hoping to have a weekend testing it. Card installed quick and easy (IT Pro so this was by far an extremely easy thing). Amazing performance increase over my ATI 7970 (70ish fps in Doom to 200+). Recent games looked and ran better at 1080p than I had hoped! However after going upstairs to shower (10 minutes) after leaving the computer idle at desktop, came downstairs to find the PC locked and black screened with all fans running in overdrive. Card never got hot while playing games not sure what happened afterward. Tried numerous things to get the machine running, RDP'd to it once I got it to boot to have Device manager say there was a problem starting the card. Put my old ATI 7970 back in and all was fine. Tried swapping cards a few more times but the 1080 just wouldn't come back. Very disappointed with my purchase from EVGA, I hope my RMA has better luck. At this premium price there should be no issues like this, being the card has been our for a while now to iron any bugs like this out of the Manufacturing process.
