EVGA 256-P2-N564-AX GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: This card performs really well. Overclocked to 610/860 stably and plays Oblivion and Prey for hours absolutely beautifully at 1280x1024

Cons: After 1.5 months the card began artifacting, sometimes locking up the computer (overclocked or stock). eVGA says that this is a KNOWN PROBLEM with this model, due to faulty Samsung memory. It has since been replaced by the N584 model (Infineon memory), and eVGA recommends customers RMA their cards for the newer revision/model. When I went to do this, they told me that they under no circumstances will give an advanced-replacement, even with credit card. http://www.evga.com/community/messageboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17364 ALSO: 'egg lists the card as 520/1520, this model is actually clocked at 500/1500. NewEgg gave me a partial credit when I brought this to their attention. NEWEGG ROCKS!

Overall Review: eVGA has made their way to the top of the graphics card manufacturers, mainly by their excellent customer service and well performing products. However, if they keep decreasing their customer service (no advance-replacement RMAs) I'm not sure what that means for the company. Something to think about when considering their "Lifetime Warranty"

Pros: Runs great. I can run Oblivion on max settings (excluding grass shadows) at 1600x900 on one card, and 1920x1200 in SLI. Temps are good overall. Idling they run at about 43c. Running a single card under a heavy load (3dMark06, Oblivion) it hits about 55c. In SLI they will hit the low 60s. All aircooled in a slightly modified Thermaltake XaserV Damier case.

Cons: I've had problems keeping 2 cards around to be able to run SLI. I've had one card run steady since I bought it. The other died, then the replacement died, and again. I'm just not lucky apparently.

Overall Review: Specs: AMD 64 X2 4200+ Manchester, ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music, 4x256 meg sticks of DDR400 Kingston ram, 60 gig Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM HD, Antec Truepower II 550watt PSU.

Pros: Name, Excellent customer service, boards and forum is excellent.

Cons: Worked perfect the first day. The next time I tried to play Fear, the screen froze but still heard sound, finally closed out and recovered from error. Then I couldn't even start any game without error message, down clocked card and fear started-got artifacts everywhere and then same thing again.

Overall Review: It seems that many people are having this problem on the Evga message board. I also have read other name brands boards and it seems like it might be the 7900 gpu. I will say though that Evga has excellent response time to the forum and has been working non-stop trying to fix the problem. I havent decided whether I am going to rma it yet. I would wait a little while before buying a 7900, just until you know these bugs have been worked out. Just trying to be helpful...

Pros: Bought 20 of them for my game center. Very fast. I have most games set to 1280x1024 with all details and AA maxed.

Cons: 1 out of the 20 was dead within the first 3 weeks. Terrible artifacting even in the BIOS menu, can't boot into Windows. RMA through EVGA has been very fast.

Pros: FAST!!! 90nm chip, great cooler on the KO version. Overclocks like a beast! 560core 1600ram

Cons: Sucks up a lot of power when OCed, need to upgrade from a thermaltake 480w to something higher.

Overall Review: I got a good card! Have had it for about 2 months now and overclocked for about 3 weeks stable. Ran 3dmark05 on many many many loops to make sure it ran smooth.

Pros: Awoseme graphics, It handles everything i throw at it.

Cons: It gets very hot.

Overall Review: I will get the second one soon as i can.

Pros: Excellent framerates in Doom 3, Half-Life 2, FEAR, Guild Wars. Much quieter than the 7800 GT I had. Better heatsink that covers the RAM too. Great price that continues to drop.

Cons: Read the EVGA discussion boards before buying one. I didn't until after I had mine for a few days. My card started artifacting real bad during Doom 3 and showed symptoms of what some others were describing. But the next day it stopped the weird stuff and has been great since.

Overall Review: I have to say that EVGA's customer support is top-notch. If you buy one of these cards and it turns out you need a replacement (lifetime warranty), they will hook you up!

Pros: Great performance! I'm running the card "stock" at 500/1500. Oblivion at 1024x768 with most settings turned up, and FEAR as well. Both look gorgeous and play quite well.

Cons: It's a bit on the warm side with the stock cooler (49C idle, low 70s load), and then there are the potential well-known 7900GT issues. So far my card hasn't show any instability or artifacts, even after a brutal 29hr run of RTHDRIBL over a warm weekend with no A/C. When I returned the GPU temp was a toasty 75C, but everything was still running fine with no visual glitches. Here's to hoping it stays that way! :)

Overall Review: I managed to eek out a bit better cooling (1-2C) by removing the stock cooler, cleaning it, and re-seating with some Arctic Silver. I tightened it down slowly, alternating screws so as to keep pressure even, but ultimately very securely (perhaps tighter than it had been). There are only 4 screws, so the procedure isn't difficult. I've got an NV5 Silencer on the way which I plan to mode and use instead, as it still runs too hot for my liking. I'd eventually like to slap another in when performance starts to lag with new games (running an Asus A8N32-SLI).
