Pros: Everything runs on ultra/ very high.
Cons: Does run hot. I have 8 cooling fan on case and this will run to 80 C's with the precision utility fan control set to max. I have a large case so there is plenty of air flow and cables are managed accordingly. There have been some driver updates that just don't work and there have been some crashing. Nothing a knowledgeable pc user can't work around. If you crash? just uninstall everything and let window update install the driver for you if you have troubles or are new to card management.
Overall Review: All in all this card is great. I'am using driver 306.97 i believe and it is flawless for me so far. Just remember it does run hot. My only regret is not buying two to sli now that they are discontinued.
Pros: At first I loved this card, I went from a GTX260 to this 560FTW and was blown away by the performance..until the "cons" came!!
Cons:
The cons of this card came right after the 1st driver update, that had to be done in order to play Battlefield 3. Ever since that, the performance has dropped and it just keeps getting worse and worse. The driver crashes have made it impossible to play these days. There have been several driver updates and each is horrible on this card!!
Like others have stated in their reviews, driver crashes are the downfall of this card!! Even rolled back the drivers to earlier versions, things got a little better, but then the game itself doesnt seem to work correctly. Somehow they have it set up to run on certain versions and nothing lower. Everything else in my system works fine, tested and re-tested. Throw in other cards, no problems. ughhhh $200 for one month of play....sigh
Pros: I've had the card for 6 months. Playing Dirt 3, Skyrim, or Company of Heroes at 1920x1080 with maximum settings produces very playable frame rates. With my configuration I get usually 60+ FPS and on occasion it dips into the 50s for Skyrim or Dirt 3. I have no complaints about it's performance. It's also a heck of a lot shorter than my previous GTX 275.
Cons: You'll know when the fan hit its cruising speed of 4K+/rpm.
Overall Review:
My card does get hot. Dirt 3 plays in the low 90C range. Skyrim and Company of Heroes play in the mid-high 80C range. These temps were taken from EVGA's Precision X utility. With that said, I bought an air cooled video card with significant factory overclocking - it should get hot right?
If you're interested in SLI'n two of these cards for 2D/3D surround do some research. It's listed here as 3D surround ready, but Nvidia's site does not list the non-Ti versions of 550s or 560s as supporting the surround feature.
Pros: This card works great, I've had no problems with drivers crashing or anything like that. I'm even running the beta drivers from nvidia without a hitch. I'm running Battlefield 3 on high settings and getting 70+ FPS I can run on ultra settings just fine but I don't like the FPS drop. And as far as people complaining about a loud fan....I can't hear mine at all.
Cons: None that I can think of
Overall Review: I just purchased a 3d monitor and I have been trying to avoid it, but I'll have to purchase another card so that I can get my FPS back up, runs right around 30-35 FPS on high with 3d turned on
Pros: Plenty of power for SWTOR, Starcraft 2, and Civ5. Cheaper than some.
Cons: Loud at unexpected times. Needs better fan management.
Overall Review: I would not buy this card again due to noise level. Something with a little less power and quieter would better suite me.
Pros: Great card. Fast and efficient at great price
Cons: None
Pros: Worked great out of the box...but....
Cons:
Has started crashing drivers with increasing frequency.
For the last month and a half I have been trying literally everything to get this issue fixed, I have to date re-seated the card and everything else in my pc, tested my PSU, and even removed any possible conflicting devices, Uninstalled and Reinstalled the drivers completely with reboots at each stage Numerous times and even re-installed windows once all with no change in the problem other than it gradually getting worse.
Sadly I see no other option than to return this card, I would prefer not to as this will leave me without a working pc until the card can be replaced but I have no other options left.
Overall Review: FYI I am a Technician and this is the first time I have ever seen a problem like this with an EVGA card, I can only assume from the above mentioned attempts to fix the problem that the card is deffective.
