Great product. Great DX10 performance. Easily configured into 3x SLI. This card is HUGE and takes up alot of room. It runs very (very) hot especially when you stack them inside one case. Card is EVGA quality and comes with a lifetime warranty!

Upgrading from a busted Geforce 9800 to a GTX260, which is said to be a small upgrade if you look at FPS charts from playing Crysis, I am totally impressed on how big this upgrade is. If backed up by a decent system, this GPU will really do an awesome job.
really good producct. the graphic is great. Recommend for people who r looking to buy a grpahic card. i bought it for a more expensive price though ><

I purchased this card after being terribly disappointed with the HD 4890.. What a delight! This card is surely not as highly performing, however it stays much cooler, produces significantly less noise, and most importantly does not produce an electrical squeal/coil noise at all! This makes the card better in my mind, as I personally dislike noise, and video cards that act as ovens.
I have this card for liek 2 weeks so far and I am LOVING IT! I have overclocked it to 710/1420/1200 with jsut a little bit of effort and it can go higher.fan speed is on 60% (i find it a bit loud) and it doesnt go above 83C on an OCCT burn test (really stressfull so that temp is normal), and doesnt go above 80 on ATI tool, and doesnt go above 75 on crysis all high no AA and on 1920x1200 resoltion. Speaking of crysis... I run crysis on all high 1920x1200 no AA and get around liek 25 fps.
Purchased just before the latest 4870 1gb price drop, but happy with the performance just the same. Used the Evga software for fan control and the heatsink is quite capable.
Paired with an E8400 b 3.6ghz and plays everything thrown at it.
