- I have 2 of these cards running in SLI and they run pretty cool just make sure to install a program to control the fans (MSI Afterburner) because the auto feature just keeps the fans running at 30% 100% of the time. They run BF3, Skyrim, MW3, and Starcraft 2 maxed out on 1080p at around 40 - 60 fps, those are the only games I have tried out. Message me for any questions you may have.
- There are better cards out there and unless you have a huge bank account that allows you to buy what ever you want this card hits the mark.I've run Tribes Ascend at 720P and highest settings without a hitch. The only issue, not much of one at that, I have is that I read in reviews I could've gone with the model that was $20 cheaper and pushed it to the same limits I can get from this card. Without actually having one of those cards for testing though I am completely satisified with my purchase.The fan noise is non existant and from what I could see the thing stays cool under pressure. Obviously at 720P I'm not pushing this card to hard but for what I'm running and what I'm expecting this card…

- I ordered this card to upgrade my Dell Precision 370 so that I could use it as a gaming box. I installed the card in my cpu and it was able to give me signal off of the HDMI port right out of the box. Of course I downloaded the drivers but I was very happy that I could hook it up to my 40" Sony Bravia right away to look for them online. The card runs fairly quiet. You can hear the fan but I was surprised how quiet it was for such a large fan. Overall I am very happy with it.
- I bought this card because the 9800GT that came with my HP computer gave up the ghost after 2 years. I've been extremely happy with the performance of the 9800...it runs everything that has come out in the past 2 years with graphics quality maxed out and at 1920x1200. The thing I didn't like about the original one was that it had a large heat sink and a cheap little fan to cool it, which is what I attribute to it's demise. This card, on the other hand, has a monster of a fan. The picture that some user submitted with the gigantic black fan on this card is the same as what I received. (120mm maybe?) For it's size it is very quiet.The card takes up 2 slots in the machine, so keep that in mind…

XFX GeForce 7600GT 560MHz 256MB AGP 8x Video Card (Dual DVI)

- I am trying to gain just a little more time from an aging P4 system with an AGP 4X video port. This card fills the bill. It's backwards compatible with AGP 4X. The nVidea drivers installed without a hitch. The card is working great with no problems. Noticeable improvement over my old card from 4 years ago when playing games. Did have to upgrade the power supply though.
- I upgraded from ATI 9600XT on my old Dell Dimension 4550 with stock 250W PSU. This card has been stable and I'm playing all the first person shooter games I own at 1440x900 (even 1680x1050) resolution at mostly high settings (I used to play F.E.A.R. with 640x480 resolution at low settings). This card just extended the life of my PC for probably another year.

- This is a solidly build card for $30. It installed fairly easily. I initially downloaded and installed the latest driver manually. This made the card very slow and jittery. To fix this I install the default driver from the supplied disk, then automatically updated to the latest using Windows 7 driver update. Once finished, everything ran smoothly. Video is very smooth and saturated. I have posted off the rebate forms, etc, and will have to see how this fares.

- Thing is huge so make sure it fit in your case mine did but made me lose a SATA. Its super clockable and so very fast nice gift for a person who like games on the pc
- I built 2 systems with identical video cards, over a year of rock solid stable performance.My System:Intel Core2Quad, 6 gigs of ram, 2 Terrabytes of HD space on 3 sata HD's, GTX 260 video card, XFX 780i SLI motherboard. 750 watt EPS PFC PSUMy WifesAMD Phenom 2 - Quad core, 4 gigs of ram, 500 gigs of HD space on 1 sata drive, GTX 260 Video card, Low end $20 AMD board. 35 dollar off brand 800 watt PSU.Surprisingly, despite her system costing about 1/8th of mine, we are nearly identical in all benchmarking. Both systems have been running 24/7 for a year, rarely needing reboots, and never any issues. Point of this, was to say that an expensive system, and a cheap system both can achieve some amazing…

- I purchased this several months ago to replace my aging EVGA 8800s. It was part of an overall upgrade to my rig and probably my favorite component. I was only slightly concerned that I had been using EVGA and liked the brand but wasn't familiar with Zotac. I can keep this short and sweet and say this card is blazing fast. I have new games maxed out on graphics and it maintains a high FPS. I am purchasing another one of these to SLI them together in anticipation of Battlefield 3.I'll also happily recommend Zotac as a brand.. I'm very happy with this card and the tools that come to control it. I don't tweak anything further but the GUI provided is very easy to use and monitors temperatures if you're one of the tweaking types. I'm running at around 70 degrees fully maxed out at the moment. Be aware that I also have an Antec 1200 case which includes 7 fans. I strongly suggest a cool case. In addition to this I'm using an 850W power supply by Corsair and recommend a high-end power supply to…

- Bought this card when it was on sale; great card for the value! I needed a fast, DX11 card and this fit the bill perfectly
- Doesn't run too hot and much quieter than I expected. With no extra cooling built into the card I was afraid that it would either run hot, sound like a jet or fail from the heat...none of that happened. When you consider the price and the fact that Zotac is not as well known as some of the other brands I think this is a great buy.

- I bought this for my HP PC that came with built in Nvidea 9100 graphics. It has boosted the graphics capability dramatically, with experience scores from 4 to 6.8. More importantly, the performance in games is excellent. Bioshock and Silent Hunter IV run at max detail settings on my 20" monitor at native resolution of 1440X900. The card is quiet and only heard when playing the above graphics intensive games. All in all, an excellent card to upgrade a mid-level system.
- I bought this card to replace a dying GeForce 8600GT, and the difference between the two cards is dramatic. Frame rates have more than doubled. HAWX plays smoothly with no jarring or hesitations. Moreover, the temperature of the GPU rarely rises above 120F and usually hovers around 105F. The card is solidly built and well laid out, with the fan placed amid the large heatsink.My choice of card was limited by the power of the PSU -- 300 watts. I could have upgraded the PSU, but for my needs the GT240 works well enough. I strongly recommend downloading the latest drivers from Nvidia. The installation disc contains separate PhysX divers, which should be avoided like poison. I initially had problems…

- Everything worked as intended on the first try, the board fit easily inside the case, and was able to overclock with plenty of headroom, which means this was well designed.
- this is the first video card i ever bought so i didnt know what to expect.this was easy to install came with all the necessary cables and adapters. i love it.

- Just before purchasing of a new card I did an extensive search on forums and review sites to find a card that will get me through another 3 years of gaming. Previous experience told me that new card should be in $300-$400 range. Cheaper stuff gets outdated too fast and more expensive cards might buy you some extra FPS today, but when the technology leaps again they will become as obsolete.I don't believe in SLing in the future, but I was considering getting two 1Gb 6850s to flash them to 6870 and putting in X-fire today. Similar money, similar or better performance in some games. But at the end I've decided to stay with one EVGA 560 card - less heat, less noise, easier to install, no need to…
- awesome card, plays everything thrown at it, great condition arrived on time, very satisfied, idles at 38c at intense gaming it gets up to around 65c, old one 8800gt would get up to 85c

- WOW... am I impressed with this piece of marvelous video, graffix hardware.. Got this baby in the mail installed her in my duo core 6000+ amd pc... And off I went into the most amazing experience I've ever had playing wow and many other games I have in my collection.."ON MAXED SETTINGS" The installation was a blast no problems what so ever.. I'm thoroughly please with this product.. There is one issue though which didn't take away from my review, because the product makes up for it.. I figured there was a 3d config for the glasses.. well turns out there's hardware you have to buy.. This card is a none based SLI card.. but lol you wouldn't have guessed it.... plays high 3 dimensional…
- I'm not using the 3D features of the card, but the video performance is solid for my HTPC, and the card makes no noise.

- This card is an uncomplicated workhorse. Not super-fancy & loaded with the latest power, but it installs/configures easily, there is no fan to add noise and potentially fail and the software/drivers are straight-forward and unobtrusive. Great as a replacement or 2nd adapter.
- I needed to replace a failed video card in a mini tower PC that was ageing a bit. The client did not want to spend much since the computer was old and just being used to run a looping video. This card fit perfectly and freed up a slot that was blocked by the previous card's second output connector. It was immediately recognized in Windows XP. After downloading the latest drivers the card was up and running at the correct resolution for both displays.
