Aside from Tigerdirect's great service. This video card is performing flawlessly so far. Installed on AMD64 based PC with Windows 7 64bit. I recommend downloading drivers directly from Nvidia as the windows update does not update to the version Nvidia has. My computer performance has increased and my games are perfect!

This card is so easy to install and plug and play you're up and running and using small amounts of power. I'm running two hard drives, 2 burners and I'm not short on power with a 350 watt ps. AMD takes less juice but everything smokes and now HDMI. Got everything setup for now.
