    It's way better than single GPU cards that I've used in the past. I can have all the settings on max in Half Life 2 at a resolution of 1920 X 1200 and it does over 200 frames per second.      » READ MORE

     Rated by Tuan_V, June 18, 2008

    I got this card after using a pair of EVGA 9600GT in an Asus P5N-D, the card runs great, when it works, I am getting a lot of issues with the screen going black, and trying to update the drivers is a pain. Getting a new motherboard in the hopes that these are just incompatibility issues with the Nforce chipset.      » READ MORE
