This review is from: EVGA 01G-P3-1180-AR GeForce GTX285 1024 MB DDR3 PCI-Express 2.0 Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
Installed in my Windows 7 64 bit system along side my old Geforce 8800 (for 3 monitors, not SLI). Works great. I have 8x antialiasing and anisotropic filtering enabled in all my games at 1920x1200 and I can't see any slow down. Need to get something like Far Cry 2 to really try stressing this card out.

Cons: This card is as long as my motherboard, meaning it makes the SATA ports under it hard to or impossible to get to. I'm thinking it might be time to get a full tower computer case if I ever go SLI because right now it's pretty cramped. You'll also need a special power supply with 4 pci-e power connectors if you ever want to go SLI mode.

Long story short, this card is fantastic. I've had stable performance, very high FPS in modern games, and the fan is fairly quiet. Overall very pleased. Using under windows 7 on an i7 system.

Just make sure you have room in your case!. I had to move a hard drive in my mid-tower case because this card is so long.

I was going to get an ATI HD 4870X2 because it is a little faster than this card and a little cheaper, but here's this issue. The ATI HD 4870X2 requires 700 Watt PSU and it runs so HOT!

But, this card runs cool therefore you can overclock it as high as you want. And, second of all, it saves so much power, you can upgrade with just a 585 Watt PSU.

In TRI-SLI this is the fastest graphics card setup in the world. And, this is obviously the fastest single card GPU on the market.

5 STARS!
