- I have always been an NVIDIA fan. The first time I saw PHYSX do its thing I was hooked. I agonized for months about spending this much on a video card. But when I finally decided to build a new system after having nothing at all for some time, I figured there was little sense it just going middle of the road.It was a good decision. Games play like never before. I had an 8600gt before. Games were playable but newer games were dumbed down to run smooth enough to enjoy. But not with this thing. It puts out. The difference is like night and day. But then that is what I expected for the money.As for the heat problems others have been reporting, it may be so, but I don't know enough to tell. I ran…
- While I'll keep this shorter, the heat issues, dont really exsist in the manner most think it would, yes it runs warm but well within tolerance, and as bout as warm as any other card I've owned, to be honest anyone buying it now is pretty much an early adopter as not too many dx11 games are out yet, but there are a few, Bad Company Two has a bit of support adding soft shadows which is just one extra detail to make the game look even prettier, Dirt 2 is also just a fun game to look at although there isnt too muh tesselation in that game but with all the tech in the card be on the lookout for games to take advantage of it down the road. Perfromance is amazing, I can max whatever I want at 1920x1200…
