Runs as expected
Comment:
EVGA Precision say this card runs at roughly 50C idle. EVGA's website says that they typically run around 80-90C under load. Mine hit 95C in an Antec case under auto fan adjustment. Now when I game, I crank the GPU fan to 100% Battlefield 2142 and L4D run at full graphics without any problems. |

WOW... What a card!
Comment:
I've had good cards in the past, always opting for a PC instead of console games, and with this card it brings my games to a new level. Titan Quest is a great game and with this card it POPS out of the screen!! You can't go wrong with this card!! |

I love them
Comment:
I purchased 2 to run in SLI and they work great. Very big cards, but if you have the room I highly recommend these cards. |

Excellent card
Comment:
Replaced my constantly-overheating ATI X1900XTX with this card, works extremely well, good cooling even with mild overclocking (using only air), a solid deal. Large enough it makes for a tight fit in my case, though, so check your dimensions! |

Cons:Huge, very long card!
Pros:Already pre overclockedGreat performance for well under $200 (after MIR & weekly sale) Comment:
Purchased just before the latest 4870 1gb price drop, but happy with the performance just the same. Used the Evga software for fan control and the heatsink is quite capable.Paired with an E8400 b 3.6ghz and plays everything thrown at it. |

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896-P3-1257-AR Video Card
Cons:- PCB is too long
Pros:- live up to my expectation Comment:
I bought two GTX 260's for my 3 monitors (for playing flight sim). They work quite well, but I have 2 small complaints... 1) When I set the flight sim display option to the max, the game halts with an "out of memory" error after flying for several minutes (system memory is only half used, so I assume it's the graphics card memory). 2) After I've updated to the latest driver, the resolution of the main (24") monitor is automatically reset to 1280x1024 every time windows is started or wake up from standby. I've tried to fix this but to no avail, I ended up rolling back to the old driver. |

Great Card!
Comment:
I replaced 2 8800gts cards in sli with 2 of these in sli. No more micro scaling or low FPS. They work great, the precision software is also nice, lets you tweak your fans setting etc. I would recommend to anyone wanting more bang for thier buck. Doubled and almost tripled my FPS on WoW maxed settings. Runs quiet and cool. One last thing....VERY LARGE CARD!! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROOM! (check the dimesions) |

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896-P3-1257-AR Video Card
Cons:none
Pros:powerful, great value Comment:
Those are great card for any game. Running those in SLI gives slightly better performance than a single GTX295. If your on the market for a gtx295 but your board can handle SLI, you should definately get those 2 in SLI instead. Almost half the price and better performance. |

Cons:none except very large
Pros:runs my games great with no issues Comment:
Though it was large it fit into my case fine. I love the graphics that it has and it runs my games that I like to play. It's nice to be able to have the high end of the graphics on a game instead of it being medium or less :) |

Cons:BIG
Pros:Low noiseRuns coolExcellent performance Comment:
This card is excellent so far. Low noise, keeps relatively cool for a GPU when playing any games. It's pretty big so make sure that the dimensions will fit in your case. I have an Antec 900 and it fits no problem. Would definitely buy this again! |

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896-P3-1257-AR Video Card
Cons:-didn't come with a DVI->HDMI adapter and the GTX260 process has been revised to a cost-effective P897 PCB process-doesn't come with a backplate compared to its brother, the 65NM.-unable to use eVGA's voltage tuner as the 55NM version comes with a cheaper VRM part.
Pros:-Pre-OCed for those who aren't interested in OCing-Great n $200 pricepoint-cooler than the 65NM counterpart Comment:
An excellent card that performs quite well for the money. Overall, despite some mishaps, it's a definite recommendation from me as you can't go wrong with $200 here. |

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896-P3-1257-AR Video Card
Cons:not gt300 40nm, but hey we have to wait
Pros:Most fps per buck, will handle almost all but crysis maxed on a 30". Comment:
At 1920x1200 no matter what (except maybe crysis dx10 with AA), everything is golden with this card.This is a very good value. Spend any more and diminishing returns kick in.896MB is good, 512MB will get you into trouble...This is a very quiet card at idle which is nice...You can overclock more with the included evga precision to say 675mhz safely and its about = a gtx280 then.Oh- if you register within a month this card has full lifetime warranty- I guess thats pretty good too.A 4870 depending on your game might be better than this, but this is faster for gtaIV. |

Ugraded to this card from an 8600 GT, I was a little surprised by the length of the card, it alsmost didn't fit in my case. I have been able to run the max settings for NFS Undercover...Beauty.Heat is no issue and cover has some flashy colours too. |

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896-P3-1257-AR Video Card
Cons:Pas d'adaptateur DVI à HDMI inclus.Carte très longue qui ne peux pas être utlisée dans les boitiers moyens.Pas beaucoup plus vite que mon ancienne Gigabyte 8800GTS 512MB (G92) payé le même prix il y a un an.Un seul adaptateur DVI à VGA fournit.Aucun adaptateur DVI à Composante et aucun sticker EVGA inclus comme montre les images dans la description du produit.
Pros:Bon rapport performence/prix.Manufacturier fiable.Rapide avec tous les jeux et à haute résolution.Pas énergivore.Bon refroidissement et meillleur que mon ancienne 8800GTS 512MB (G92). Comment:
À 200$ cette carte graphique est la meilleure affaire du moment. Elle est assez performente pour les jeux actuels avec une résolution de 1680x1050 et même 1920x1200. J'aurais apprécié que EVGA fournisse un adaptateur DVI à HDMI dans la boîte en plus des autres adaptateurs qui devraient être inclus selon les images du produit. |

Superclocked is the new Concorde
Comment:
Bought this card to play Crysis. I figured it would only play it on high at a medium resolution...I was one surprised fool when it played Crysis on very high at 1366x1050 resolution without hiccup. The overclocking is great too. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE !!!!! WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!! Just make sure you have a case with at least 11 inhes from card slot to drive bay or it wont fit. I only have 1/8 inch to spare in my case, but its worth the big size!!! |

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896-P3-1257-AR Video Card
Cons:-Almost as long as a schoolbus!
Pros:+Play most of the games with maximum details in 1080P+HDCP Support+Come with every adapters needed for installation Comment:
Got this card this week for the same price of the lower clocked one(error from an unnamed store) :P. Play most of my game in full details in 1920X1080, and that's what I wanted out of this card.Burnout, The Last Remnant,Left 4 Dead play at max speed with 16X Antialiasing. Played Farcry 2 everything to Ultra, play on good speed with really minors lag (maybe due to my E6600 CPU).Had an hard time installing this monster, it's so long it almost enter my HDD bay at the end, had to displace one of my HDD and redo my whole cabling to fit this. It's almost as long as my mobo!I'm using a 18A 12V rail PSU, no problem so far. |
Okay, maybe a pair of GTX 260s won't outperform a SLI'D group of three 275s, 2852, or a pair of quad 295s, but the performance power will surprise you, and should keep you happily gaming for years to come. Why buy EVGA cards? The warranty, their boards, their customer service, and their overall attitude to the customer.
