This review is from: PNY VCGGTX275XPB XLR8 GTX 275 896MB DVI + DVI + Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
This card eats up everything I throw at it, I can play Crysis on high at 1650x1080 with x4 AA and get a solid 45 FPS.
More powerful than a similarly priced Radeon HD 4890, quieter, and a few bucks cheaper to boot. (Though less overclocking potential, which doesn't matter to the average user anyway.)
Be careful though, this card is GIGANTIC! Its about the length of my elbow to my wrist and weighs like four pounds, make sure you have a big clear area inside your computer to put this bad boy.
Such a great deal for 190$ after rebate.
Works great,

Had this card about a year now , and the only issue ever (not even card related) was trying to figure out how to get the free Batman game that came with it. That was a saga in and of itself calling Amazon support.
Back the card. Plug and play simple, even with two different monitors. Never gives me any problems whatsoever. Great card for the price and glad I bought it.
Excellent Card!,

Upgraded from a 8800GT. This card is a beast. I play at 1650x1080 and it chews everything up max settings. Would of went with EVGA but they were all sold out for months. EVGA has the 90 day step up and a better warranty.
Purchased this over the 4890 because I use CUDA for video encoding (CUDA > STREAM) and I also fold. Performance is pretty much the same otherwise.
Most people who had a downgrade in performance from a previous generation probably didn't set their computer up right.
-Completely wipe all old drivers. This ensures your installation is fresh and there are no conflicts.
-Change the fan settings. (it is defaulted at 30%) If you don't when the card gets hot your performance will suffer. This can be done with programs like Rivatuner or Speedfan.
-Make sure your PSU meets not only the wattage but also the AMP requirement. It will still work but performance will suffer and possible BSODs. Older/cheaper PSUs fall short in AMPS...Read more
