  • Reviewed by: Sumon

    Duration of ownership: 1 Month

    Strengths: This card rocks the world........The most interesting thing is that: 1.Full support for HD and 2000MHz MEM NOT 2GHz 32 Stream processors work grat. I have got 146+ FPS in F.E.A.R.

    Weaknesses: What??????IS.IS.IS.It has not built an era for DX10 Gaming.

    Overall Evaluation: Now this is the main thing that you have to buy it at SLI mode With 680i SLI motherboard.I recommend the spec below: 1.Intel Core 2 Q6600 [O.C.= 3.0 GHz, 333 MHz Each core easily.] 2.Evga Nforce 680i SLI MOBO 3.4 GB RAM 1200MHz SLI active 4.2 of EVga 512 mb of 8600 GTS [not overclocked] 5.800W Ultra PSU 6.ANTEC 900 Case Taht would be best for a $1500 Gamer.

    Strengths: Price, performance, warranty.

    Weaknesses: Not as high end as I would have liked but does the trick!

    Overall Evaluation: This card replaced my older video card and has totally shocked me! The performance on wow and other games have been flawless! I have found that I could have got a better card for the money spent but overall I do not regret the purchase. I am not much in to overclocking but I will update the review if I found out if it is possible and what the gains are. Highly recommended!!

    Strengths: These card yielded a huge performance upgrade from my old card, granted it was a PCI Radeon 9200. My framerate has increased 400%. It came packaged with two DVI-to-VGA adapters which was nice.

    Weaknesses: The memory interface (128-bit) and the Stream Processors (32) are a bottleneck.

    Overall Evaluation: Like I said, this card has some drawbacks. It definitely is not the highest end card you can get. But for most gaming, I would say that it is more than adequate. It's hard not to enjoy playing on it given the outdated card I did have.

    Strengths: Easy software installation with EVGA CD. Supports almost any mode of monitor resolution.

    Weaknesses: The NVidia graphics driver only offers 60 Hz at the 1680 x 1050 resolution on my Samsung Monitor

    Overall Evaluation: The onboard video processor of my motherboard only yielded at 3.3 Performance Rating and was the limiting item. This board reached 5.6. All the graphics are sharp and my ability to read the online edition of my newspaper has been enhanced. I do not know if the 60 Hz refresh limitation is in the monitor or the video card; however I do not see any flicker on the screen even when viewing with fluorescent lights in the room

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast, 512mb, single slot, full support for HD

    Weaknesses: slower than 8800's, price is high for this 512mb card compared to it's 256mb sibling

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this card even though I had the money for 8800gtx because this had full support for HD when the 8800's do not. This card is also single slot and consumes less power. I believe this was worth the money for me since I think it's very stupid for the 8800 graphics card to take up two slot spaces and use ridicuously large amounts of wattage. So for now, this is the best direct x 10 graphics card out there for my interests. I've played every game maxed out with playable frame rates and 512mb with games that require more than just 256mb or 320mb memory.
