I bought this to replace an integrated nvidia geforce 9200 that was in my computer and all the games i own (Overlord, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Oblivion ect) can run them on max settings. i only got to try it for a week os so though because my computer crashed and had to get it repaired but when i opened up the case i found the card itself and the area around it VERY hot... well not hot but VERY warm. best not to play hours and hours and hours of games cause i swear this card could be a potential fire hazard. |

I was upgrading my card for gaming purposes(WoW) and while I typically run at 60 fps in game (30 fps during 25 man raids), I have found that I don't have as many options to tweek the settings as I did with my previous NVIDIA card. So the card works great, but I wish the user interface was better. |

Ordered this to replace a Evga 8800 that went bad. This card way out performs it. Handles all my games without a hitch. Only downfall is it blows its exhaust air into your case making entire computer warmer. Other than that its a excellent buy. |

I got this card and I just wanted it to hold me over till I could really put some money into a card. But once I got it, it was amazing, so much better than I ever though I would be. I'm thinking about sticking with this card full time now because it's so good. My first monitor that I had couldn't go to the max resolution that this card could go to. The only thing bad about this gpu is that it is really big. It barely fits into my mid size comp case. But as well as it being big it just looks boss. |

This thing is absolutely incredible! From gaming to editing video's and pictures. Screw buying a $2,000 Quadro FX or anything when you could just buy 2 of these in SLi and do just as much with these! Insane for price, now I see why its EVGA's biggest selling item, period. |

Had a hard time getting the drivers to download (cd-rom and website). Had to restore pc twice before drivers would take. Running dual monitors and they have a conflict(Gateway and Samsung), I get an error message that I need to reinstall Nvidia drivers. Wiating for a reply from Nvidia Tech. |

I love this card. I bought it to sli with a discontinued model of the same card. Pros: Great deal for a good card. Cons: The only con I found was that the cooling for this card blows the heat inside your case instead of outside the case. This is why I did not give the card all 5's |

I got this to replace another nVidia card that had gone bad. This card makes all my games come alive (even) more. The DDR3 and DX 10 compatibility means that it will be serving me for some time, and doing it well! As usual, this company had it at my front door the next day. I highly recommend this product for any gamer who wants good horsepower at a great price. I love it! |

The card is great, no problems whatsoever. I like the EVGA precision tool as well, it works great for overclocking the card. No complaints with the card. |

This is a great lower, mid-grade card. Of course there are much more powerful cards on the market, but for the price this is card is a winner. |

previously had a BFG Tech 8600 GT 512MB,, worked fine but not excellent playing blue-ray movies on my quad-core 8 gig ram Win7-64 bit PC,, so figured I'd upgrade a little to be able to multitask while watching a movie,, but I install this new EVGA card and was unable to play a blue-ray alone with out really bad choppy play back,, so sent it back and got a refund,, now using a 250 GTS 1GB and works great so far |

Took me less than 20 minutes fom out of box to install. MAJOR difference on my HP a6814y X64 Vista system. No Glitches, no hang-ups - just a perfect experience all around!! --- As usual from this company! Thanks!!!! - David |

I got two of these and they blow my old 8600 GT cards away. It was a big upgrade and I can tell a huge difference, so far every game I have installed they run on the highest settings just fine. For the price you can't beat these cards. |

Installed one in my home built system and like it so much I just ardered another to set up SLI. Be sure to download the latest drivers if you're using it with Win 7, 64 bit. Also, you'll love the tweeking software for optimizing the card. |

Tiger Direct does it again! This card upgraded an old GeForce 6800 in my XPS 600. For the time the computer came out the 6800 was great, however I picked up the machine a few years later and out grew it quickly. Games like Unreal Tournament '04 looked super at the highest settings, while UT3 had to be set for the lowest settings... Then along came AEGIA and so I got a PCI Physix card... I was even contemplating another 6800 in SLI mode. I am glad I went this way instead. EVERYTHING I've played before is better now, not just in looks but in performance too. Now UT3 runs full bore on the big screen, while my mp3 plays on the small monitor, both crystal clear without a hitch. |

Works fine, no installation problems. Noticeable increase in speed of windows explorer folder menus compared to the onboard graphics of an Intel 915GUX. |

I bought this card to replace a 8600GTS that failed. It works great. The fan is slightly louder than the previous card, but not bad at all. This deal was the best I could find from a reliable source. |

Bought this card for my gaming machine & media center, Phenom X4 9550, 4GB RAM, brand new dual-format BluRay/HD-DVD drive, and all the trimmings, about half of my high def movies play perfectly, and the others are unwatchable, get about a frame every 3 seconds. Swapped the video card out with an ATI Radeo 4650, and they all play perfectly. Called tech support, their suggestion after replacing the card and getting a new one? Sell it off to someone else and buy a new card. Real helpful. DO NOT buy this card if you're looking to play HD movies. But if all you want it for is gaming, it's awesome, plays everything I've thrown at it at maximum quality with ease. |

I purchased 2 of these, and linked them in SLI. They perform greatly, and with a very minor bit of overclocking using the program from EVGA's website, these cards will run Fallout 3 at the Ultra setting on the highest resolution with the FPS being pinned at the max amount. And not to mention these cards don't take up 2 slots on your mobo. In order to run some of the "better" cards that take up 2, I'd lose 4 slots total, meaning I'd be loosing PCI slots that my mobo is meant to have. |
The card was a great upgrade over my 8000 series, and worked well on high settings. A year later it's about to die, I thought this brand was supposed to be the best. It seems like I spent too much for the amount of usage I got out of it.
