Mis-Listing DVI-D as DVI

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card GV-N650OC-1GI
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card GV-N650OC-1GI

Pros: Core clock 50%, Memory clock 150% faster, Twice the CUDA cores then my old GTS 250. Half the power needs then the GTS 250.

Cons: Texture draw rate is slower then my old card GTS 250, so in case's where it's mostly Textures and little the newer kinds of graphic production...the FPS will be slower. Memory bandwidth is half of my old card as well, but it's GDDR5 vs DDR3...this verdict is in the air still as it can go either way. Faster data vs more data.

Overall Review: This is a con on Newegg's end, not the cards. It's 2 DVI-D ports, not DVI. The connection points are different. On the flat end the DVI has a wider flat with 4 posts, the DVI-D just has a thiner flat with no posts. Just some very needed info for anyone that has the old DVI cables but not the new DVI-D cables.

Screen flicker on product batch

Samsung S24A850DW 24" 1200p Monitor - 1920 * 1200 16:10 Resolution - Plane Line Switching (PLS) Wide Angle Display - 4x USB 3.0, DisplayPort - DVI x2
Samsung S24A850DW 24" 1200p Monitor - 1920 * 1200 16:10 Resolution - Plane Line Switching (PLS) Wide Angle Display - 4x USB 3.0, DisplayPort - DVI x2

Pros: Large screen area of display, VERY clear, bright, sharp image. Heavy base requiring lots of force to move.

Cons: Default cable sent is VGA...VGA became outdated and retired when HDMI and Displayport was introduced. No HDMI port Screen flicker defect on manufacture batch over X months during last quarter of year. Dates Sept-Dec. Regardless of repair/refurbish work done returns with same result.
