Comment: Installing the card was really easy. Keep in mind the card sucks up 2 slots from your computer so if you're going for SLI with these and your PCI-E slots are right next to each other, you won't be able to do it.
On factory default settings, the card is really quiet and doesn't heat up very much. During WoW I was getting about 20 FPS in Dalaran, 65ish in ICC, 65ish in dungeons using all the Ultra settings, highest color settings, highest sound soft/hardware settings, and using the nvidia 3D vision glasses.
This card was an upgrade from my 8800GTs SLI configuration from a Dell XPS 630i i've had for a few years. Its the only thing I have upgraded since then. If you want a comparison my system has a 2.33GHZ Quad-Core, 4GB DDR2 RAM (800mhz) and the 8800GTs were 512MB each.
I am definitely happy with my purchase. It was a large step up for my games, especially games like MW2, L4D2, and Crysis.

Comment: Nice card but broke within 2 hours. Called support and didnt mind the basica troubleshooting. Then the tech suggested some program which I have to pay for to get the replacement. Standard warranty takes several weeks to process (EVGA Supports words). They added since the card is within 30 days I should get a like new item. Like new? What? I guess its my fault they I received defective product. I believe a good company would cross shipped a replacement. Then they added call Amazon and get them to just replace the product (which of course I could do). On EVGA's box it states " Please Note, Do not return to the store. EVGA offers direct customer service"
