Solid Performance

EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX Cooling Video Card
EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX Cooling Video Card

Pros: Good price, excellent power consumption, good FPS on the games I play. When decided it was time to upgrade from my old EVGA GTX 460 1G, I was in the market for something that gave the same or better performance for much better power usage and that wouldn't break the bank. This card was the ticket. Comparison to the 460, both cards OC's and under load: Performance Increase: ~1.8x Power usage: ~100W less Temperature: ~40c cooler Memory OC stability is quite good, I can push it to +340 without OverVoltage and +425 with OV. Overclocked with EVGA Precision X.

Cons: Core OC stability is not as stellar as I expected. When pushing the clock past +35 w/o OV or +40 w/ OV I often found myself trapped in a kernel crash loop. The screen would start to flicker on and off about ever 5 seconds with a warning about the NVidia kernel crashing popping up over and over. This would require me to hard restart via power button. To be fair this could be a fault of the driver software, but I did not have the loop issue with the 460, it would flicker once and warn me the clocks were to high.

Overall Review: I knew when I purchased this card that it was already OC'd and the power profile was increased, so I didn't expect to be about to push the card much further. The small +30 to the core clock is perfectly acceptable against the reference boards clock, but the +340 to the memory clock was a surprise. And the biggest surprise is the under load temperatures, I have not seen this card go beyond 65c under full load w/ OC and OV.

Works flawlessly

Pros: Works as advertised. No issues to report. Fixed onboard issues.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I purchased this card hoping to fix an ongoing issue with the onboard LAN on one of my motherboards. The connection would drop at random times and with no warning. Windows was completely obvious to the disconnect, and only caused streaming video to hickup, however hosting or playing any kind of LAN/Internet game was out of the question. After trying everything I could think of, cable replacement, changing settings, new driver, booting other OS's, I contacted a network engineer about the issue. He concluded that there was a hardware fault in the mobo's adapter and recommended purchasing a network card. I've used a few Rosewill products before without issue so I decided on this card. I am pleased to report since installing this card we have had no issues at all, the random disconnects have stopped, and we are back to hosting LAN parties and playing MMO's. Thanks Rosewill!

A Great First Impresion Of PCI SATA

Rosewill RC-201 PCI SATA Silicon Image, RAID 0/1, Normal and Low Profile Host Controller Card

Pros: Small Card, Includes a small height bar for installing on small desktops. Fast all around.

Cons: Increases boot time by a very minor degree. Included installation cd was slightly confusing. No SATA cables.

Overall Review: At first when I installed the product I was impressed by the size of the card, it is by far the smallest card in my pc, and so I was able to place it right next to my GFX card without blocking the fan. At first glance the CD is confusing, lots of drivers to install, however a quick look at the included manual and all was clear. After the reboot I noticed my HD was not there and was a bit concerned. After loading the Disk Manager in windows my concerns were put to rest as the drive was there, just not initialized or formatted, with a quick init and format I was on my way to a great SATA experience. Purchased "Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EACS 1TB SATA" along with this and have had excellent results.

Amazing Speed

Pros: Good Write Speed, Mind Blowing Read Speed, Active and in use for 3 days and still only warm to the touch.

Cons: That I only bought one, and there was not a SATA or power adapter cord included.

Overall Review: I purchased this with the "Rosewill RC-201 PCI SATA x2" card together. The first day I received it I copied ~300g to it and was pleasantly surprised with the speed of the transfer for large files(>5mb). However once I set up the drive for my primary server share I was floored by its read speed as it usually maxed out my network card for LAN transfers. Im sure DMA helped out, but still amazing. I decided to test the speed with FreshDiagnose, with stats beyond what i could have even imaged: Average Read Speed(over several tests) = 1453.25 Mb/s Making this drive a perfect choice for my media server. If your a user that does not have built in SATA and are looking for a TB drive, this duo is the way to go.

Ordered an EVGA PSU. Product arrived very quickly, we were impressed as we did not select priority shipping. Power supply was exactly as pictured, and works as described!
