5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable speed for under $100, December 18, 2008

This card is just awesome for the price. It's super fast. It more than doubled my 3DMark score despite my system bottleneck due to an older Pentium D CPU. It's ridiculously cheap. It runs cool. It doesn't require a lot of power. (I'm running it on a Dell with the stock 305 watt PSU) What else can you ask for? If you're looking for a graphics upgrade, and don't want to spend a fortune, then this card is a winner.

This is a great video card, especially for the price.

You would find this card priced brand new at around 130-150 are local stores or anywhere else besides amazon.

This card is pretty big, and is quite loud though. But to me performance is all that matters so its not really a inconvenience. Make sure you have adequate space in your case so your card fits. Its about 5 inches long I think. It also requires its own power source from the PSU. It comes with a Y Adapter power connector for that purpose. Uses a 6pin connector into the card and than it converts the 6 pin into a 4 pin molex. So you will also need 2 available 4 pin molex connectors with your PSU. You may need a fairly good power supply of at least 400w for enough power and to keep your system nice and cool, because this card generates lots of heat and uses a good amount of power.

It also comes with the drivers on the installation disc, of course and lots of bonus material. Mainly just high definition Geforce wallpapers and some videos.

For those who need a affordable high end card for gaming, or intense video editing this is the card to get. It runs at almost twice the performance of your Geforce 8600 series cards, so it would be cheaper to buy this and less power consumption than SLIing 2 8000 series cards.


Another thing I like to add, I got the free 2 day shipping on this and got the card the very next day. Which was a super plus to get it a day ahead of schedule.

So last though, if you want performance over anything else this card will not let you down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing card for the price,, December 30, 2008

I love this card. Runs using my stock 350w Dell Internal Power Supply. Plug it in and go.

I edit lots of HD video with this card. It has sped the process dramatically. Using Windows Movie Maker I can see the edits immediately. Gone is the jerky play back in edit mode. Sure half that is due to my outstanding existing system. I would consider this card a must if your editing HD.

Play lots of Crysis with this. I am running with very high graphics settings and getting about 57-64 fps full screen 22" monitor. This is with a Q6600 2.4ghz quadcore 4gb ram. Gets a little Jerky but after rebooting things clean up nicely.
