Aside from stellar graphics performance, I love the heat sink design. Having it vent out of the case on it's own drastically reduces the heat generated with in the case. Beware though, this card is a monster! You definitely want to make sure that there is nothing directly behind your graphics slot cuz this thing takes up a ton of room. I had to move a few of my hard disks around but it was well worth it. Awesome Card!

Gorgeous output and very well worth the money. A shame its for my stepson! As per previous comments its worth checking the size out before you buy, tis a tight squeeze even in the largish midi-tower we are using.

I loved my first one so much that I just HAD to buy a new MoBo and a second GTX 260 so that I could SLI them! The single card worked wonderful but, now I'm twice as happy. I am running them overclocked at the SSC card spex. No need to spend the extra $$ for a SSC card when you can use the EVGA Precision Tool and crank it up yourself WITHOUT voiding the warranty. I am quite sure they will OC even farther but, they perform very well and run cool and stable as I have them. Make sure you register your card(s) with EVGA within 30 days of purchase to activate the Full Lifetime Warranty.

New card right from the box and nothing. The fan doesn't turn over which means power isn't getting to the card. Even tho I have more power then what the card needs... was looking up to getting it to run. Looks like time to get call tech support on the line and hope they know the bases of what a computer is. maybe they will tell me that this card needs a 1000 watts to run... keep an eye out when you buy this card.
