Comment:
had two of them in sli and when they worked, they rocked with max settings @ 1920x1080 bought these cards at the end of september and its now three months later and i have 1 dead card sitting on the table next to me as i create this, and another one that is starting to flake out on me in my system. the initial card to die just wouldnt play 3d at all with out throwing out enormous artifacts, specifically with WoW. now the with the second card, SCII randomly freezes as if there are driver crashes which recover soon after a handful of moments. dunno how considerably longer the other card will hold out at this rate my fiance's brother had 1 of these in his technique and it as well died immediately after about three months of use. now mind you, these cards werent overclocked at all and temps had been cool due to enough case airflow. his RMA took about a month from the time he sent his card out to the time he got one particular back. i genuinely hope my rma isnt that slow, but im not holding my breath on it. in light of that reality with the high failure rates of this unique model, i will not be buying another gigabyte video card. it pains me to make these remarks as i have applied a gigabyte X38DQ6 and a P45-UD3P in the past and they have been wonderful. however 2 failures taking place within a weeks time is absurd Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for your comments.

Low temps! No accessory, no bundle, no additional!The bare card that's it!

This card is great when it performs. Like so several other individuals, mine has been artifacting out on WoW and Black Ops, crashing out, and acquiring NVidia driver recovery. I've heard stories of lengthy wait occasions on RMA's, and I can't be devoid of the card for a month plus. Nonetheless, my choices are quite limited. This series/model is defunct, I will not be getting Gigabyte once again. :( Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you for your comments.

Great when it worked...:- quick, quiet, standard temps even below load- amazing frame-prices in the games I play (WoW, Dragon Age Origins, SMRR, MC)- great for watching blu-ray high quality videos (using VDPAU)Was paired with i5 760, 8gigs ram, Gigabyte Mobo, Spinpoint HD Dead immediately after 6 months.Went from coding some OpenGL primitives to failure in a single day. Rebooted quite a few instances and began testing. Anything related with the GPU would lead to a hard-lockup (video games, VDPAU, even nvidia-settings). In short, a six month lemon.From what I study of other users evaluations this is not a one off issue. Anything like a 20% defective price. That speaks volumes about the (lack-of) quality of this item. In a cost-free-marketplace economy we vote with our dollars...don't vote here.

Fantastic video card for 3 months. It began with windows error "lost connection to device..." but the method would recover. Then it progressed exactly where I couldn't do the anything graphics intensive with-out crashing the system. At very first I believed it was a driver issue but a small investigation told me various. I replaced it with an further 9800GT from my components bin and all the errors went away. I guess it's RMA time I don't suggested you purchase this video card. Save oneself a headache and look elsewhere. I purchased a second one particular of these for my son for his new make. I told him his card will most probably fail next month. Gigabyte is a good organization they make good solutions and have good client service but they drooped the ball with this video card. What is truly worrisome is users who have received replacement cards and are seeing these cards fail soon after three months.It's time to step up Gigabyte and admit to a faulty product and get rid of them from the market.

Fast, cool, silent, directx11 and somewhat cheap. What much more could you ask for? none I haven't run into concerns with everything, purchased it back in november for my new rig. I play Battlefield Terrible corporation 2 and Starcraft two maxxed simple with this.

Comment:
Overclocks particularly effectively.Dual Fan design, keeps GPU quite cool on idle and load. Poor workmanship - flimsy design. Makes buzzing/grinding sound - could be defective.I am seriously questioning the high quality of Gigabyte's components. I received this graphics card just a couple of days ago. I installed it and it began to make this truly loud grinding noise. I inspected it myself and it turns out, the glossy black case/shell part is truly "flimsy" and "loose." If you appear meticulously, you can inform that it was not screw-ed on tight sufficient from the INSIDE. And we can't do something about it simply because it would void the warranty. So I had no choice but to RMA for replacement and I hope the replacement is in exceptional situation and not defective like this one.I can honestly say that I won't be purchasing from Gigabyte once again. The workmanship is quite poor and probabilities of you finding a "dud, DOA, or defective" solution due to poor workmanship and questionable style, are very high.My suggestion to Gigabyte would be to perform closely to your manufacturer workers. I also recommend producing superior high quality components that don't fall apart. Idea, design and style, technology, can be all good but execution is every little thing. Nice notion but poorly executed. Shoddy workmanship. Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you for your comments. We apologize for your difficulty with your Gigabyte solution.

Quickly card, when it operates. It doesn't function practically long sufficient. Very first card was DoA, second card has now died after only six months. I initial ordered this card on July 26, 2010. Initially 1 was DoA. *sigh* Not super content, but ok, it takes place. I returned it, got a new 1 and the RMA was resolved as painlessly as these sorts of points go and on August 17, 2010 my new card was sent out to me.It went in fine, common instal of a card, though folks need to be aware it takes two PCI-e power connectors, not just 1. And then it worked really nicelly. Ran fast, all the games I wanted to play at the absurdly maxed settings I hoped for, graphics function in photoshop was no issue, everything you'd anticipate out of a excellent video card. Regrettably, a few days ago (February 17, 2011 to be distinct) issues began to go bad. I began acquiring odd draw errors in windows, which would turn out to be worse until the system had to be rebooted, usualy inside a couple of hours of startup. Updating drivers didn't assist, but as quickly as I went back to my old video card, everything ran completely once more. Not really hard to guess the culprit.

It's nice and quiet. Two in SLI are a bit louder and hotter, but I'm capable to maintain temps beneath 70c on the top rated card with a fan blowing on the side of the case.Two cards is still very good bang for your buck compared to the 560 selection or an AMD setup. Bug-prone as other individuals have noted, but Gigabyte's RMA dept. was effective and qualified. I'm back to two cards and performing like a champ. A hidden advantage of SLI: you have a backup card to rule out any other component as the issue. RMA departments like to know you've checked each and every doable challenge. Plus, you have a backup card for the duration of the course of action. If I'd had a single flagship GPU, I'd have been staring at a blank monitor for about a week and a half.Anticipate to pay for your own shipping on an RMA; that's life.

Worked wonderful for a few months. When I play games my Computer randomly freezes and crashes. Can't play a game for a lot more than 15 minutes with out this point crashing my comp. I originally bought this card on the initial testimonials of it becoming 1 of the cooler 460's. Money shot down the drain. I've under no circumstances had troubles like this with any graphic cards I've had in the past. First time with Gigabyte and possibly the last time.

Quite highly effective compared to my old card. It ran FFXIV quite properly. It crashes my computer. Randomly, any game I'm playing, or any full screen flash application, or complete screen video will freeze my personal computer forcing a challenging reboot, no blue screen. I switched it out for my old video card and had no issues (Played a game for about an hour, and ran a 1 hour youtube video flawlessly). I switched it back and the computer crashed inside 10 minutes of a full screen youtube video. Gigabyte appears like they know what theyre doing as far as motherboards are concerned, but theyre nonetheless working out the kinks in their video cards apparently.

Everything. Amazing card. Graphics turned on max and it still offers higher frame prices with WoW, TF2 and SC2. None Lots of 1 egg ratings. I don't think they are correct. I believe somebody has a grudge out for Gigabyte and are spamming newegg with bad testimonials. If you appear at each one particular of the 1 egg testimonials, they all have difficulties. 1 of the latest says he/she spent five hundred dollars on two. That is not true. They are 189$ every single suitable now and even a few months back they have been 200 if not 210$. Don't be persuaded by the 1 egg testimonials.

In expensive DX11 Card that was much less high priced than the ATI 5850 with nearly the exact same amount of performance. Card died on me after 3 months with no extra over clocking, sent in for an RMA, awaiting return. I had to take away 2 eggs because of extra shipping fees for the RMA and the burn out in three months. If it died on me immediately after a year of gaming, I could realize it, but not in that quick amount of time.

Quick, higher top quality CAPs & a 3 year warranty. Solid Nvidia drivers. Plays anything I throw at it, like obscure old stuff like Project Snowblind and indie stuff like Gratuitous Space Battles. As well costly for a year old chipset; but sadly Nvidia flubbed it with the 550 Ti series. Would be a prefect card for 贶.00. Not enough of a jump in quality to justify the leap from a GT 240, but I want to play Shogun two and the GT240 just won't cut it. This isn't about the card, but it is component of the general knowledge so I really feel justified in describing it. The Rebate method is just awful. Right here are the measuresɅ. Go to https://gigabyte.4myrebate.com.two. Register and click through to get to rebate kind (approx six pagesƝ. Print rebate kind & invoice. 4. (Here's exactly where I got upset) Reduce out a SHIPPING LABEL from the printed rebate form and GLUE it onto your envelope. 5. Sign type, Stuff necessary docs in envelope and wait.6. In approx. eight weeks you will get a pre-paid Amex present card.# 4 is what actually got me. I utilised superglue, but normal Elmers will probably come suitable off, resulting in a 'lost' rebate form. Honestly it's just plain petty of Gigabyte to do that. They could effortlessly do every thing electronically. I was also promised a ฮ rebate, but when I filled it out it was for ฤ.

Good solid card and effortless to repair. The worth is in the pcb although the stock cooler is not is as good as it looks.Mine has been modded and has been operating strong considering that the ninth of last September. More than all the card has survived more than 2k hours of use from each and every day web surfing to folding at 850mhz core. I have under no circumstances bothered with the vram considering the lack of cooling in that aspect. The cooler is not as excellent as every single 1 thinks and the fans are sharp. They are also incredibly fragile. I have currently had to do 1 repair when 1 of the fans started to make grinding sounds. It was a pain (literally) to eliminate. These fans basically pop off leaving the coil and base behind nevertheless attacked to the plastic face plate. I utilized heavy grade motor oil to lube the fan and hasn't created the noises due to the fact.Incredibly low price of airflow more than the cooler and pcb.Fragile and weak fans.Sharp fans and have reduce my fingers a couple of instances when messing with the usb front panel header. Lack of cooling for the vram.Incredibly hot energy vrm and capacitors.Have had to do two mods and one repair.Note to Gigabyte hire far more engineers who specialize in this area to increase item style. Do Not leave the card at stock fan settings or it will fail with in a handful of months on the grounds that the energy vrm is still finding on the hot side ࿦-90c) although the vram is also providing men and women difficulties and have had to stick thermal pads on four of the vram modules due to lack of airflow below the cooler's base plate. I leave my fan setting at one hundred% all the time and am contemplating on searching for an aftermarket cooler.

The card performs effectively, when it performs I ordered this card in Sept. 2010. It began exhibiting graphical glitches when playing 3d games or H264 films. I RMA'ed the card with NewEgg and got a replacement. Now, three months later, the replacement card is also showing the similar indicators of failure. I will no longer purchase or suggest Gigabyte items.I can't fault NewEgg for this considering that it's been more than 30 days after my RMA. At least they have been good and processed my original RMA speedily. Time to look at Gigabyte's competitors. Manufacturer Response:Dear Buyer,Thank you for your comments.

Very good specs Got the 1st one particular and died inside two days. RMA'd and got one other a single. 40 days into second card (just previous RMA timeline), it died out once more.

When it worked, the card rocked. Like several other purchasers of this card, mine began artifacting about a month after buy. Oddly sufficient the artifacting went away at 1st but has just come back in full force. Now I have to send the card back to Gigabyte and hope the subsequent a single lasts. There is one thing naturally flawed with this card. It appears a lot of people are acquiring problems with the card dying. I was thinking about obtaining a second card then hooking up SLI after the existing card is repaired. After reading all the negative reviews, there is no way I am going to get yet another Gigabyte card. Manufacturer Response:Dear Customer,Thank you for your comments.

Its a very good card, and Incredibly straightforward to OC. I've OC'd mine to 810MHz core, 1900MHz memory. It runs all the latest games complete blast with no any screen lag whatsoever. It stays truly cool under load even when OC'd, 55-58C below load. Perfect efficiency when paired with a 965BE. I've had it for about 4 months now, and it's nevertheless destroying each game I've thrown at it. Haven't discovered something unfavorable factor about it yet. I bought it when it was 232.98$, and still feel it's worth that. But for 200$, I urge persons to discover a card that will out execute this 1 for the funds. Great video card!
