EVGA GeForce 7900GT DirectX 9 256-P2-N562-AX 256MB 256-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: I did the research looked at every professional review from all the big websites. Tom's Hardware, ZDNET, CNET, PC MAG and about 10 other TECH sites I cant remember. I looked at every Video Card Made from ATI and Nvidia from $xxx to $xxx. The EVGA Geforce 7900GT is by far the best one for the money and stability. Yes you can get a overclocked version but overclocked means parts run faster and hotter = Possible I said possible failure of the card sooner than a non overclocked card will last you. This card runs on my ECS SLI board 1000mhz, with P4 3.0 HT, 2gigs of OCZ Gold Series 667 DDR2 and a 350 power supply. Thats right this card runs just fine on 350 power. I play BF2 with the settings all the way up and I mean 2000 x 1900 or something like that resolution. It plays it very well at 1600 X 1200 with all up you wont see any lag on a cable modem. I play World of Warcraft flawlessly and DAOC. I highly recommend this card to anyone..

Cons: I have not seen one single Con to this card yet it run pretty cool but always have a extra fan in any gaming unit just to keep everything at ambient temp.

Overall Review: I used ATI products for the last 3 years there $xxx dollar cards and before that 3dfx Voodoo's for the original everquest :) I had the BFG 7600gt Overclocked version and the EVGA 7900GT Blew that 7600gt OC out of the water you cant even compare the two cards.

Pros: Renders high details, AA, AF Good FPS in games Runs nice and cool (<50C in game) Brought down ambient temp of system and CPU! Doesn't have stability problems like the overclocked 7900

Cons: My P4 is too slow for it...

Overall Review: Great card with awesome rendering capability but demands a lot of CPU power. My P4 can barely keep up with it but the more rare power added with overclocking increases FPS dramatically. A good CPU matched with this card will be a great combo.

Pros: Quite fast when it works.

Cons: Games crash consistantly, artifacting, etc.

Overall Review: Its a known problem with these cards, I was hoping I would have gotten lucky but sure enough within a day its already crashing games and artifacting. Luckily EVGA has a great RMA process, and there are new model cards with the problems fixed that they send out right away. This isnt Newegg's fault, I definately give the egg a 5, but I cant give a good review when so many of these cards are bad right outta the box.

Pros: Very Fast, the copper cooler and stock speeds sold me on this card. Cool running 56C load temp and quiet. Definately room for Overclocking. Lifetime warranty and step-up program also plusses. Newegg purchase was fast and easy.

Cons: The card is suppose to be set at stock speeds of 450mhz gpu and 1320MHz memory. However, using Nvidia's coolbits the clocks report as 500mhz GPU and 1500mhz Memory.

Overall Review: The higher tha normal defect rate on the 7900gt's is what pushed me to get a stock clocked card as opposed to an already overclocked one. The model number and serial number indictates this is the right model just with the wrong clocks. Something to keep in mind. As long as the card contiunues to work I'm happy.

Pros: Worked out of the box.. no problems. 30-60(60 cap) FPS in quake 4.. Oblivion runs maxed at 20-60 and half life 2 runs maxed.. I ran 3D mark 06 twice and watched the temp of the card. The card maxed at 58 C which is still in the green-zone

Cons: My friend said that he got a higher score on 3d mark 06 but he just formatted and my HD is full. oh well his card has problems from Over-clocking and I don't

Overall Review: It seems the EVGA worked out the bugs in the card. I hope that the card keeps working .. I have been testing over the last of 3 days with duel displays and I have had no problems . Also I have 5 case fans , lots of room and a 520W power supply.. my processor is kept cool with the Asus Star ice at between 80-115 F. so if the card does have overheating problems I have not seen them

Pros: like others have said, non-clocked is nice. i havent had one error running this card. idles 44-45, gets to 51 under load. runs fear max settings averaging 75fps, CSS at 120+. everything run flawless. this thing is also very quiet, evga has a good cooler on this covers all of the memory chips

Cons: none

Overall Review: glad i got this over the overclocked versions. it probably saved me from getting an RMA. highly remommended.

Pros: Like the first review said: Larger fan/heatsink = cooler. Cooler = quiet. Conservative clock speed = stable!Worked just fine after installing and using latest drivers from NVIDIA site.

Cons: Not any yet, don't expect any.

Overall Review: There is plenty of room to OC if you wish. I don't understand why the other 7900 GT's, any brand, are not using this fan/heatsink that covers the memory chips? EVGA did a nice job with this card. By the way, you can register for a free copy of "Hitman Blood Money" and "Half Life 2" on the EVGA website while they last!

Pros: Decent. One of the best on the market. I put the fans on 25% all the time and it still only rises to 60C after gaming for 6 hours. It's completely silent when I do so.

Cons: Performance gain over a 7600GT at 1024*768 is only ~10 frames per second. The difference increases exponentially at higher resolutions such as 1600*1200.

Overall Review: Maybe I got lucky, but it OC'd from 450/1320 to 650/1800. With stock cooling! I have owned 2 EVGA cards and both have been top quality without problems.
