bought this card because my old EVGA 8800GTS 640MB video card was starting to show its age and I needed more "UMPH" out of my rig without having to upgrade my old evga 680i mobo. The great thing about this card is that its not that expensive and it beats the ATI 4870 in just about every game, (ie. crysis, bioshock, DMC4) *Hardware canucks has a great review on this card*

I'm very happy with this product! I was able to overclock it to 710MHz stable using the EVGA Precision tool. After the overclock, it benchmarks higher than a GTX 280! I rarely see the fan go above 60% when playing games, and idles at 40%. This makes the cafe very quiet.

I RMA'd GTX 280 i bought from NCIX because it was DOA. I purchased this because I was afraid it will happen again. I haven't regret what I did! This card is really fast! Now I can play Crysis in high setting without any slowdown. It even underclock automatically so in the long run you save money in electricity bill (I'm guessing here...)

I got this on sale for only $80 more than a 9800GTX+. Plus it comes with Far Cry 2 from evga but for a limited time only. I've played everything from COD to BioShock and I am very pleased with the excellent performance.

Great card at the sale price, this single card replaced my 2 x 8800 Gt's and benchmarking shows it on par with them. Cant wait to get another and get back to sli goodness. Farcry2 runs at 1920 x 1080 on hi and very hi settings. This card is friggin huge so you better have a decent case. The cards core/shader/memory speeds throttle back when not it demand...nice to see.Very nice to handle and install this card being that its completely incased reducing risk of damage. Next up will be to see what overclocking will yield on this sc model. Ok so 1 week later i now have 2 in sli...niiiiice. Only at Hi res and AA etc do these cards show off there power on a big monitor.

Wow..Upgraded to this card from gtx 260 ssc, and with a little overclocking, reached 4513 on furmark benchmark. That's beats a lot of 280 and even more ATI 4800 scores. I am very pleased and seeing these kind of results, I can strongly recommend this card especially since I got it on weekly surprise price. Great card!!! Get one.....Thank you NCIX for allowing the upgrade.....once again you guys walk away from the rest of the pack when it comes to servicing your customers
