Extremely cost efficient

I upgraded from a 6800 and wow. I tried playing the Crysis demo with my 6800 and had to turn every graphics setting off or on low, thats when i decided it was time to upgrade. Didn't wan't to spend a lot of money but wanted somthing that could handle thegraphics for today's games. Granted, this is nowhere near the best, but at least I could enjoy the visual effects for once : ) . I turned almost every setting on high and it ran like a champ!
Only comes with small fan but is surprisingly cool (high 40's C idle - mid to high 60's C dureing full load). Easy to install and with no problems so far, though i've only had it for a few days. Comes with drivers from Evga but download and install drivers from nVidia if you wan't the full benifits.
I was hopeing for, but not really expecting, the quality and performance this thing provides. A must buy for upgrading without spending a fortune.

Not worth the effort

I bought this card to replace a failing 7600GT expecting at least the same performance. It failed terribly. Dont waste your money or time to purchase this card if you have an older GeForce card and expect it to perform. Save your money and get the 8800.
