1 out of 5 stars Won't work - reboots continuously   June 9, 2008
Samuel Abbe (Alexandria, VA)

Two things to consider on power supplies and graphics cards: The total wattage (W) and the amps (A) available at 12 Volts (V). Higher end graphics cards can't get enough power through the motherboard and require a direct connection to the power supply. The 12V is normally split between several rails/plugs. First rail supplies the computer, 2nd supplies the 1st video card, 3rd rail supplies the 2nd video card, etc.

Even though my system (500W & 34A) exceeds the minmum requirements (400W & 26A) this card puts my system into a continuous reboot, restarting every few seconds never mind starting windows.

Contacted PNY and they said buy a new power supply that can supply 26A on a single 12V rail. Turns ou there is no such thing. Even the most advanced power supplies only supply 18A per rail (like my current system).

Of course ANTOnline happily accepts return except on computer parts so now I'm stuck with a $160 card I can't use.

Lastly unless the game is on the driver disk I didn't get the copy of Frontlines that is supposed to come with this package.

Frontlines: Fuel Of War was to come with this card, but the shipper, TigerDirect did not ship the game with the card. After talking with TigerDirect, they would not honor their agreement. I would suggest not buying from TigerDirect and purchase this card elsewhere.


5 out of 5 stars GREAT PERFORMANCE FOR THE MONEY   May 27, 2008
Marco Antonio Rodriguez Molina (HERMOSILLO,MEXICO)
GREAT CARD, GREAT PERFORMANCE ON ALL GAMES, AND WITH A LITTLE OVERCLOCK PERFORMS EQUAL TO A 8800GT, AT THIS TIME THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO CARD THAT I EVER USED. IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM A 8600GT/GTS YOU WILL SEE THE BIG DIFERENCE ON PERFORMANCE ON THE NEW MID RANGE NVIDIA CARDS. COOL DESIGN TOO.

The card ran from the first try. its performance is as expected. it's not noisy. However, it makes a really noisy sound only when the computer is booting up!

I was dissapointed in the performance of this vga card. My old Evga 7800gt seemed to do better than it did despite having have the ram and being 2 generations older.
