  • Review:
    This card is great. It runs every single game available at 1900x1200 and ultra high no problem.

    -Before buying make sure your power supply is at least 500 W and has 2 PCIE (6PIN) connectors.
    -Also make sure your case is big enough, I have a dell 530 and it fit VERY VERY tightly. The card is huge
    -Also take into account you need to buy a $100 adapter to use eyeinfinity with 3 monitors.
    -Enjoy

  • Review: Pros:
    -Lifetime Warranty
    -Very powerful, I can get 40FPS with maxed settings on Crysis, over 60FPS with anything else.
    -Low operating temp, On factory clocks this thing never gets close to hot, not that I stare at my GPU temp while gaming but the highest I've seen it get 46c
    -Price, for under $300 this card is very fast, I originally intended to crossfire 2 of these but its not needed.

    Cons:
    Not really a problem since my case is a full tower but this thing is a good inch longer than my motherboard, could be a problem for someone with limited space.

  • Awesome!

  • Review: This card is awesome! I can play all games at maximum settings on 1920x1080 and get permanent 60 FPS (with Vsync on), and 40-50 FPS for Crysis. It's a little noisy but if you have a headset, you won't hear anything. Great purchase!

  • Excellent card, but power hungry

  • Review: Before purchasing this card, make sure your power supply is at least 600 Watts. You also need twin 6 pin power connectors. Unfortunately my power supply does not have dual connectors. It has one, but after messing with the packaging thinking I'd have to return the card, I found two adapters that allowed me to take the connection from my useless CD-ROM drive and convert them to 6 pin connectors (you need two power plugs to make one 6 pin). After getting over this initial hiccup, this is a great card. Games such as Crysis, Flight Simulator X, MW2, etc play wonderfully at full settings with trilinear or anisotropic filtering enabled. It is quiet, the fan is excellent, and card temperature is about 40-50C idle.

  • Awesome Video Card

  • Review: I have used the card to play Crysis and it has worked flawlessly. What I really like is that it lowers the clock speed and memory speed when just at the desktop or browsing the web and when it is needed like in a game the CPU clock and memory speeds increase. This saves energy and the life of the card. I maxed out the settings and no problem for the card. Love the card.
