Rating: - Can't give it any more power captin
This thing REQUIRES one 8-pin AND one 6-pin PCI Express power cords
-OR-
Two 6-pin PCI Express cords AND two 4-pin/old style power cords.
I thought the y adapter power cords were so it wouldn't use up a 6pin or a 4pin cable, and it was a pass through. Nope, it needs 2 of each for the alternative setup.
So... I couldn't get it to run. Normally I wouldn't count this against the item except that I have a new top of the line Dell dual-quad core PC with a 750w power ... Read More
Rating: - Great Card!
As someone who used to run an sli system and could see microstutter first hand, I'm completely converted to the single chip solution now. Don't give me a 4870x2 which is nothing more than sli on a single card (crossfire actually). Until microstutter is removed I want the biggest baddest single gpu solution you have.

Rating: - THIS IS A BEAST!
I got this as well as a 750w Corsair and an Antec Cyclone case fan as new additions to my new, but inferior XPS 420. The GTX 280 replaced an 8800GT 512MB and the performance boost was incredible.
I can make Crysis run 1920 x 1200 with settings on very high and AA set to 4x with frames of about 37. Medieval 2 will run at all settings and resolutions maxed out no problem, Company of Heroes is surprisingly a little problematic, I can't get it to run Ultra Textures with AA without FPS inconsistencies, ...

Rating: - Best card I ever had!!!
This is truly a keeper. This is the best card I ever had and worth every penny. Not too much a big fan of the latest tech out there so obviously, I have no complaints at this time. I f there was a complaint, it would have to be that these cards are not compatible with Vista. Well, I have XP Pro, so I may reserve that complaint for later. As for now, this is a really good card!

Tengo un E6750 con OC a 3.4 Mhz con 2 gigas Ballistix DDR2 8500 en ram, T.M 780i sli y DD sata 7200 rpm, fuente 850 Watts thermaltake, todo esto dentro de un case thermaltake modelo Shark, con esta configuracion logre un 3dmark de 15.280 bajo Windows Vista 32 Bit, antes tenia una 8800 gts 512 y la diferencia es impresionante, la tarjeta es realmente super Rapida, considero que sigue siendo la tarjeta single Gpu mas rapida del mercado ya que la ati 4870x2 tiene dos gpu y no son justas las comparaciones entre ambas, ...
