I currently play both at 1440x900 with everything max out, DX10 tweaked, and modified for Ultra mode (done in Warhead benchmark), and practically never goes below 30 fps, almost always at 35-40 fps. It's pointless to talk about every other game benchmarks, but I can say that all of them plays at maxed visuals (1680x1050) without a hinch!!!

P.D.: EVGA 275 looks great too!!! If u have the money go for that one.

Another win from EVGA and nVidia

ByRonald Krumlandon January 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

I got this card as a replacement for my ATI HD4850. Definitely an upgrade and performs every bit as well as I had hoped.
As with all video cards in the $175 to $250 range, you get the best performance for the money. It doesn't matter if you go with ATI or nVidia - just make sure the maker of your card has a good warranty program.
If you game at 1680x1050 resolution, this card is going to run almost everything you throw at it, assuming that you have the CPU and RAM to back it up.
Most importantly, this card is from EVGA. With EVGA, you get an excellent lifetime warranty and technical support. If the card ever breaks, you can send it in and they will replace it with virtually no hassle.

There are several things to be aware of before you get this card.
1. Don't forget to register the card WITHIN 30 DAYS of purchase with EVGA. Failure to do this voids your lifetime warranty.
2. This card is BIG. Make sure you have enough room in your case. It takes up 2 slots and is very long.
3. Make sure your power supply is up to the task of powering this card. It does consume quite a bit of juice. This doesn't mean that you need a 750 watt power supply, just make sure the 12V rail(s) on the power supply can handle the addition of this card.

EVGA graphics, beautiful and a perfect purchase...

ByCeri Bon May 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am a first time computer builder and have heard many stories about the different parts you should and should not use. I had heard of EVGA before and owned a similar model that did not work with my drivers so I never actually used it. I was a little nervous about this card at first but I am very glad I bought it.
It has very good quality graphics, fits wonderfully... Smooth and high fps while playing my World of Warcraft games and the like.
I would really recommend this card for anyone building a durable and playable computer.
So far I have had no bad qualities to this card. If I do, I will let you know.
Just make sure that you have good drivers..

Best Bang for your buck for a PCIX Video Card

ByTheShadowon November 22, 2009

Verified Purchase

At the Amazon price of $189.99 this card offers exceptional performance at an extremely attractive price. When combining two GTX 260 Core 216 cards in SLi mode the performance exceeds that of a GTX295 costing hundreds more. I am definitely a proponent of Evga and Nvidia based cards. Evga was one of the first to offer a lifetime warranty even if you overclock. This still holds true with all their top shelf video cards and motherboards. Some of the sub-$100 video cards no longer offer a lifetime warranty. Another reason I choose Evga is that their corporate headquarters is 15 miles from mine. Returns are simple. I have installed 28 Evga video cards and 32 Evga motherboards. I have had to return 2 video cards, and required a new SPP fan for one motherboard so far. This card performs well under pressure.

GeForce GTX260 very good used!

Byskepticon July 25, 2012

Verified Purchase

I ordered this Video card Used, it works properly, It is a huge video card, needs a lot of room, but fits in my standard Case after moving things around a little.
One thing leads to another, after I got the card, found out it needs special power hook ups,(I forget now, but think they are called PCI-E1, 6 pin adapters),and use's more power than a 400 watt supply can deliver , so I had to upgrade my power supply and put in a 600 watt supply.
I like ordering through Amazon, if there is a problem you can return the merchandise no questions asked.

Nice For the Price

ByAnyone Seen My Commodore 64?on October 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

Bought to upgrade a two year old machine with a GeForce 7300 card and it was worth every penny. While I would not buy for a new build, for the money and what I was looking for this was the perfect choice. Frame rates across all resolutions are better than I expected given the machine it is installed in. Easy install with extra pin converters supplied if needed. Superclocking utility is simple but works well.

If upgrading, ensure you have the power and space required before buying! If doing a new build, depending on your other hardware you may want to look a bit higher up the food chain.
