Effectively i bought this card with high expectations, failed miserably, Comming from a buggy 9800GTX+ to this, properly im already to return it and get my funds back, this card cant handle running aion over 30fps, and an average of 102fps working with Counter strike supply's video stress test, Not A Fan. Invest the additional cash get a far better card, really this card may be inexpensive but its efficiency is very undesirable.

This card is remarkable took overclocking like a champ 925mhz core clock stable and its stays beneath 50c not bad and its wisper fairly even at 50 % fan quite effectively constructed None These cards are a bit weird I know folks who couldn't overclock it at all. And some folks got like 950 just got to get lucky

It's quieter than my final card 񢵲) which didn't have an exhaust port. This in itself is an achievement. I don't but know how it compares with my last card, since I haven't run benchmarking tests on it yet. I can say that Crysis and SC2 are running at Ultra and Enthusiast settings with no issue. It's a bit power-hungry; nevertheless I knew this when I bought it. Looks like I ordered the final card before they deactivated. :D Absolutely nothing like getting the final 1 to punch. Also the rebate is like walking by way of a labyrinth. It's confusing and requires a bit of time to figure out what to do. Not going to take an egg off for that since that's a marketing issue and not connected with the hardware.Got this beast installed in my new i7 build. I'm excited simply because the fermi chipsets are now supported by the h'tosh community!

Very excellent video card for the cost. Plays all of the games I play at the highest settings which is mostly WOW. none

Works wellRuns SilentGood buy for price + rebate (๩ overall for this card if u get rebate). Doesn't preform as fantastic as i thought, But it runs well adequate to play the games i like in Very good Quality to Ultra in sum games. Heat Sink is pretty dang cheat and flimsy. Temps. jump up quick when playing games by what I've noticed. but haven't jumped more than 60 deg C. (idle ㅌ deg C, playing WoW in High-Ultra settings ㅯ deg C) Overall i am somewhat satisfied with this card. If your searching for decent card that can play a fair quantity of the new games in excellent setting, then this would be a great purchase in my opinion. If i could obtain one more i in all probability would.

Runs very cool, 33c idle, and 55-60 max load! Also surprisingly extremely quiet as well. Runs DX11 Games!! This was my initial purchase of a "budget gaming card" for my function Pc, and I was not expecting considerably, but overall I am Very pleased with the performance and characteristics! Runs all the games I play with extremely playable frame rates all though operating 򜮀X1080 resolution! I do have two of these operating in SLI on a Evga X-58 Mobo with a Core i7 to help these puppies run at their best, all of which was purchased at Newegg! Cant run three-way SLI Extremely happy with the acquire, cards have worked great from day a single, and with the top quality of EVGA, and Nvidia, I know they will run fine for a lot of years to come! I have been an EVGA consumer for about 5 years now, and have bought over 50 motherboards/video cards from this firm and I can honestly say that I have not had a single piece of hardware fail!! (Yes, Genuinely!!) That is why I remain with EVGA, High quality hardware, Service that is second to NONE, and they are located right right here in the USA!! If you want tech support, you wont be directed to India which I cant stand!! Great Job EVGA, and Nvidia!! Special thanks to NewEgg as effectively for obtaining me the hardware super rapidly and difficulty totally free as constantly!!

Its a great GUP for the price. I can max out a lot of new games, runs cool. The very first one particular i got was a DOA (Dead On Arrival) For the price tag its a excellent card but with the way games are going youll have you upgrade it soon. I got this card simply because i didnt have considerably income, I wish i saved a lot more and got one thing a little beter.

A massive upgrade from my 7950GTX in my laptop, the final desktop card I bought was a GeForce 4TI for my parents personal computer and that just gave up the ghost. It runs Mafia II and BFBC2 at 1920x1080 at near max settings flawlessly ࿈-60FPS). I have it overclocked to core clock 910 and mem clock 1970, Nvidia isn't lying when they say this card is built for overclocking. As soon as you adjust the fan speeds in EVGA Precision it won't go above 55c on full load. I thought the card was DOA due to the fact wouldn't show a picture on the monitor no matter what I did. I place in an RMA for it then the next day I decided to give it one more try and it worked perfectly. You can't hear the fan on the card until you turn it up over 55%, then it get incrementally louder but nothing that can't be covered up by game audio. Also if you do F@H then either have a totally closed case or place it a approaches away from you. F@H tends to make the caps scream like nothing you've heard before, I hear it's a widespread problem with all video cards that don't have a digital pwm technique on them although. It beat my good friends 5750, Unigine heaven benchmarks gave him 720 score and I got 804.

It had potential based on the specs displayed. It will display on a monitor employing generic Windows driver from 2006 but as soon as you load the driver on the included disc and reboot, it produces a black screen promptly after the words "Starting Windows" seem. A reboot produces the very same outcome more than and over. Beginning in Protected Mode enabled me to uninstall the driver, right after which a reboot will allow the monitor to keep on, once more working with the generic Windows driver. This sequence can be duplicated over and more than once more. Downloading the driver on the EVGA internet site produces the precise similar driver - thus the precise same symptoms. It appears that it will be a RMA but I'm afraid to get the same brand board since my study on the internet indicates quite a few occurrences of this type of "freezing" problem with specific motherboards. Employing the windows driver is not an alternative due to the fact none of the functions of the board are useable. I'm employing a Gigabyte 870A-UD3 AM3 MB and Windows 7 64bit with an AMD Phenom three.two Quad Core and 8GB of RAM. I've got no other software on the pc other than the MB chipset drivers and the software than enabled LAN. Realtek audio on the board is also installed. I haven't however tried to download any drivers from Nvidia, despite the fact that supposedly I'm supposed to stick to the actual manufacturer (EVGA) when choosing drivers.

Working with this as a committed physx card behind an AS*S GTX 580. Performs wonderful, doesn't get as well hot and is silent. Physical dimensions are great for smaller mid-level gaming systems. Only calls for one 6-pin energy connection and doesn't require a enormous PSU. I have utilized this card in a few entry to mid-range gaming systems that I've built for other persons. Card is capable of playing most games on the marketplace at reasonably high settings, delivering you aren't making use of also high of a resolution. Covered by EVGA's lifetime warranty. None. Trustworthy and nicely built. Advertised as getting sold with "Free" Precision software program. That's all nicely and excellent, but EVGA's precision software program can be aquired free directly from EVGA's site as soon as you register. I have had the Precision software program for a extended time, extended just before I got this card and lengthy just before I purchased an EVGA item (this is my 1st EVGA card, I generally use XF* and A*US).

Utilised this in my most recent create! I use it for gaming and 3D modeling in Autodesk Inventor. As for gaming, I can run Grand Theft Automobile on complete settings EXCEPT for view distance, and it has veryy minimal lagging. It's best for the modeling i do; supplying adequate oomph to work long days at stable temperatures. Operates as advertised, so none! :) Quit reading my comment and get it!

Until now you could not get a Graphics card for 贝.00 with the power these 450 (fermi) can dish out. I play the Arcania Gothic four nearly Maxed settings with great FPS....The Witcher I have every attainable setting maxed. Just an awsome card. Idle 31c load 55 to 60 thats sweet. None for this cost gunna get another for sli and use my 8600GTS for PhyX have not OC it yet but program to bump it up a hair

Comment:
Installed uncomplicated, graphics look fantastic. nothing at all I planned on getting the 460 SE, but the one day I planned to order all my system components, the SE cost went up ุ bucks. And then down again immediately after I ordered this 1. Only Newegg gripe I ever had. But I'm quite pleased with this card no doubt

Comment:
Got this card about four months ago, served me well and nevertheless is! Card could play BF BC2 at max settings 60FPS. Ran decent on the Heaven 3D Benchmark computer software, didn't expect it to run great, but it ran it at mid-high settings at 19 FPS wǚGB RAM & a three.2GHZ Tri core AMD processor. None! The good quality of this card will lead me to getting an EVGA 560Ti on my subsequent construct(once SandyBridge is out again!)

Comment:
This card has carried out anything I have asked of it. It runs Medal of Honor and Battlefield Veitnam, on high . The rebate center that you have to deal with is incredibly slow, then declines to spend. When you call them up they say you should fax them a lot more info. They can not take any other forms ( you cant email it to them). Then they get upset with you when you point this out to them. I would buy this card even with out the rebate. It excellent at 35c and never ever goes over 70 under complete load. Manufacturer Response:Hi,Can you speak to us as rebates@evga.com so we can help you with the rebate.Thanks,Jacob

Runs all my games (DDO, LoTRO) in outstanding high quality. Doesn't run tough. Works under Windows 7 64 bit and Kubuntu ten.04 (Lucid) 64-bit. This IS PCIE 1. compatible, and operates well in with my ASUS P5W DH Deluxe. The packaging is really vague that this is a GTX 460 **SE**. That matters when you download the drivers. Therefore, I dock this an egg due to the fact I had to fiddle about with drivers till I found the "SE" bit by trial-and-error. The specs ought to truly be updated to be clear that this is an SE. I went from a 7900 GS KO, so, for me, this was a huge improvement. Reading all of the digs against this card make me wonder if some folks are upgrading every time a new card comes out. If I was going from an 8800 or a 9k series, perhaps I would be much less impressed. Nonetheless, from a 7k series, this was a fantastic improvement.

upgraded from a 9800GT (evga) to 2x GTS 450's in SLI, was on the fence as to weather or not i wanted two of these or a single 1GB GTX 460, there are alot of articles on the net bashing this card vs the 460 but i'll break it down straightforward...most of us arent elite gaming/computer nerds that strive to have the latest and greatest and every thing else is just junk! 2x GTS 450's in SLI outpreforms a 1GB GTX 460 by about 20%, now element in that my cards are overclocked and now we're in the ballpark of 30% preformance over a gtx 460...i got these 3 months ago, 130$ and -30$ mail in rebate...100$/each...GTX 460 1GB version was 230$ at the time...bang for buck...2x 450's > 1x 460...and less costly, EVGA is a quite respected organization, these two videocards in windows index score a 7.6ǝ.9 my buddy has a 1gb gtx460 which also scores 7.6, benchmark tests on-line show the GTS 450's SLI'd vs GTX 460 as a 20% preformance acquire i'm not gonna con these cards because i actually have no complaints, but of course i knew what i was getting...something that wasnt top of the line but in SLI would be future proof for about two-three years...for those of you who hear negative points about the 450 and are weary of purchasing 1 (or 2) just know that most men and women that critisize are the people that dont mind spending 400$+ on video cards so clearly these are junk to them, dont listen to them...i only use my Pc for gaming and net of course, these cards get me 130-200 FPS in starcraft two in ultra settings the build:i7 950 Ɣ.2gig)X58 Sabertooth (get this! awesome...just greatတGB ddr3 GSkill Ripjaw1100W Apevia Warlock PSU2x Gforce GTS 450Xclio mid tower advanced cooler boxNoctua CPU cooler (must have for overclocking i7's, dont settle, just get itƜx WD Velociraptor raid

Fantastic price, acceptable performance, and nice fan. I like that this card has a low power consumption that didn't call for upgrading my 430 W power supply. Installing into Windows XP, required 2 reboots, to get all the prior drivers cleaned. 1st two installs failed. Not actually a Con, I could have been a lot more cautious to take away original. I have but to try overclocking, and may possibly or might not attempt to push it further.

Comment:
Its medium fast, dead silent, only 1 6pin, 1GB graphics memory, HDMI. it dosent help 3 or 4 way SLI, not 192 or 256 bit memory, but knew that just trying to think of issues to put right here... hmmmm... I use it for mid level gaming, NFS: HP, HAWX two, DiRT two all truly smooth at 1680X1050, receiving a different monitor within three days so we'll see how that operates out.

Comment:
Fantastic card for a excellent value. Purchased it to replace an old 8800GT that just up and died on me. Wow - what a distinction (when now paired with an upgraded CPU & mobo...)Runs games excellent - most of mine are a year older or a lot more, but almost everything is gorgeous and smooth at full HD resolution 1920x1080. Yum. None Not a con, but an aside - originally tried to just swap my dead 8800GT for this card on my old mobo (ASRock 775 4Core-DualSATA2). I assume it was just some weirdness related to the quite odd PCI 1.1ǘ. implementation in the Through chipset for that board. So - I was forced to upgrade my mobo & CPU to use the card... Darn! :-)

Newegg RMA process was rapid and painless Was hoping for some improvement more than my 8800GTX though playing WOW, but performance was lack luster (ㅇ fps in major cities on "Fair" settings, Ultra was a bit lower even with Shadows and Sunbeams turned off) although GPU was only maxing at 20% usage. Didn't attempt over clocking to see if it helped. Turned out to be a defective card, immediately after an hour of minor use the whole screen turned to artifacts and GPU was operating at 100% regularly. Returning for a refund, will almost certainly upgrade to a EVGA 465 even though I am at it. five stars to Newegg, simple RMA course of action, even issued me a prepaid return label.

Cost,Easy Install,Runs Cool. None so far. EVGA Client Service is lousy. Did not get my rebate. But nonetheless a nice upgrade. I was operating two XFX 8600 GTS in SLI with a Windows Score of 6.8. With the 450 windows score jumped to 7.2 with just one particular card. Just ordered a second one particular for SLI.

Comment:
Runs 1 Screen on max amazingly. I run a dual monitor setup to watch films (in blu-ray def) even though gaming (also in blu-ray def) and it functions nice and smooth. I assume with only 1 monitor it would be even far better. Not "perfect" playback if I'm in an intense graphic region whilst gaming and watching movies, but singular will do great. Love the card, possibly get an additional for recording though playing somewhere down the road. I mainly play WoW, if you're upgrading for that, it'll do the trick

Comment:
smaller then my earlier 9600 GT, free of charge precision eh not poor but don't truly know how to use it. It says its totally free yippee (whatever). none so far. I only had it for about a month The thickness of the cards take up two spaces. not all mother boards that support SLI would support each theses cards.
