   I just got this card and it is great. What is not great is that I need to sign-up to access EVGA forums. And registration is not just email and password, which is somewhat annoying as it is, but they want your address, phone number, etc. Give me a break. Where the heck does anyone have you provide this amount of personal info to access product forums? For one, they should be easily accessible by the public; well, maybe not if you do not want the public to know certain things. For this reason, EVGA gets two stars down for being overly ambitious in collecting information on their customers that they do not need. I would rather continue googling anonymously than have to identify myself beyond email. Sure, EVGA may be trying to prevent competitors from spoiling their forums, but I suggest another means of achieving this. However, business people suck and they do not have a creative bone in them so this is probably the only solution they can come up with or think meets their needs.

   Fallout 3
   
   WoW
   
   Eve online

   BioShock
   
   L4d hammer World editor

   All of these games were played with setting maxed out. All ran with no issues. With 1 exception….GTA 4 was choppy, slow and terrible and would not allow me to surpass 896mb memory ceiling when setting the graphics. I think they have changed this now but that was my experience then…sad..it was one of the first games i played on this card…and i paid 260.00$.

   I have a 52 inch plasma screen and the cords to connect my computer to it, I was able to play all of the above games at highest settings just as I did on my 1400×900 screen. I think the max resolution was 1900×1100 or something. It was impressive but gave me a headache LOL.

   The card is quite HUGE but runs cool and quiet I reccomend this but if you want a better BANG:Buck ratio than I highly suggest going with an ATI, they have caught up with (even surpassed) Nvidia. Also, Nvidia knew of a problem with Vista premium and their 9600 series cards and when asked about it said “Yes we know.” And deleted your forum post with no explanation given or way to work it out. What happened to you Nvidia?!

   I’ve Got This Card And Was Working At 1X.
   
   Not At 16 X.
   
   It Wasn’t Motherboard’s Fault,Because I Tryed This Card On The Other Motherboards (Rampage Forumla,Rampage Extreme And Gigabyte P35 )
   
   So,I Couldn’t Keep This Card,I Can’t Play Games On Max Settings

   I Sold It For 40 $

   It Was Worst Purchase By Me

   Placa de Video muito boa. Só não consegui fazer overclock. Quando utilizo o programa ele dá erro na imagem e tenho que reiniciar o computador. Talvez seja problema de compatibilidade com o Vista 64bits e Se7en 64bits, testei com os dois sistemas.
