Pros: GTX 560 for $180. Red PCB. The frog is for good luck, (per Palit), so that makes this the luckiest brand.

Cons: Stock cooling insufficient. Ran OCCT GPU tester and couldn't complete it due to temps in excess of 85c (too much for my tastes).

Overall Review: Already planned to add my own cooling when I got it. Here's what worked for me. Most of these parts I already had. Good thing they carry over to my new GPU fine. - heatspreaders for vram and vrm. - Accelero S1 Rev2 Passive VGA Cooler ($30. Had to use pliers on the bracket a little for it to work with the short screws.) - Ultra Kaze 3000 rpm - pulling air in the front of the case. With some things put in to help direct the air directly to the heatsink. - Lian Li BS08 dual-pci slot cooler w/2x scythe slipstream 1900 rpms (pulling air from heatsink). Able to run several OCCT GPU punishment sessions with no errors and it never got over 71c. There are better passive coolers out there, but they cost a lot more.

Pros: I found a few weeks after ordering that this card is no longer sold by newegg. That's a shame. Performs as well as the rest of the other makes of the GTX 560 but with a very VERY nice feature. If you have a full height 6-7 inch long card (sound card in my case) in the VERY next slot after the videocard ends, this card WILL work for you. You can even see this in the width picture for the card. there is a good 1/2 inch between the fan and the card in the next lane, not so for virtually any other design. Also speaking of the design, it dissipates heat FAST. If I let the gpu temp get up to 75C then kill the game process, you can get it back to idle temp (about 40C) in about or under 25 seconds. As it stands, with the custom fan profile I have, where the fan will go at 100% at 67C, it never goes over 70, ever.

Cons: Like I said, I have a custom fan profile set so it will get up to 100% speed if the card gets to 67C and the fan at that speed is pretty loud, but in a sealed case, and if you are wearing headphones, or have your computer under your desk, no biggie. You'll probably stop noticing it for good after a week or so of gaming.

Overall Review: In addition to the pros section, this must be noted. If you already have an aftermarket sound card, a full size PCI X-Fi in my case, HOOOLLYYY BALL BEARINGS DO NOT INSTALL THE HD AUDIO DRIVER FOR THE HDMI. It will distort and slowly kill any functionality of your aftermarket device. Even with the HD audio disabled in device manager (it actually installs 4 instances of the driver, for different HDMI output or some such reason) there is still a very large possibility it will eventually completely cancel out your soundcard, and render it useless. This is speaking of the drivers/OS of course, it doesn't actually harm your hardware, just makes a 15 min job of installing a new videocard successfully into a 3 day project. Bottom line, install the driver, install the 3D if you want to, but do NOT install the HD audio drivers if you already have a sound card, unless you really really like troubleshooting complex computer problems, in which case, why aren't you at your tech support job?

Pros: Great card for the price, VGA connection. Currently running SETI on the card and it runs 2 WU in about 15 minutes.

Cons: Not a GTX590.

Pros: A good upgrade over the Radeon 5770 I had before. Runs faster at 1920x1080 than my 5770 did at 1600x900. Downloaded the drivers from Nvidia's website and had it going quite easily and quickly.

Cons: None so far, other than I think maybe I should've went with 2GB video RAM, but that's my fault, not the card's.

Overall Review: Bought this after having a second Radeon card in a row die on me. Was planning on upgrading anyways, but having two Radeons in a row die on me despite all my efforts to keep my computer dusted out and cool made me decide to go back to Nvidia. So far I'm enjoying the upgrade, ordered a new 1920x1080 monitor to go with it, and all the games I've ran on it so far I've been able to crank the settings to max or near max, so I'm happy.

Pros: worked good when it worked... ME and DXHR looked awesome at 1080p on my tv

Cons: died after 6 weeks get a bios beep of 1 long and 3 short on my board, code says its video card related, both pci-e power ports were plugged in hdmi didnt work from the beginning, nvidia control panel would see the connection but there would be no output on the tv on that source. bte its a samsung tv.

Overall Review: this card was in a new build: core i5 2500k @ 4.3ghz, p8p67 rev3.1, 8gb ram (2X4GB ripjaw pc3-17000), and this gtx560. no oc on the card. mid-7's across the board on WEI scores except for an old spinning disk @ 5.9 that im using to boot until i get an ssd. sucks i have to deal with palit for warranty return since im only 2 weeks out from sending it back to newegg for an easy replacement.... when i bought this card it was $20 cheaper than today and didnt come with the batman game. different batch maybe? my card's p/n ends in -1142F, newegg doesnt list that last part of the p/n anymore. gg palit, last thing i ever buy from you...
