5 of 5This video card is great Monday, May 04, 2009 A Customer from Corpus Christi, TX
I bought 2 of these cards and have them in SLI. They run great and all of my games are smooth as silk with graphics all the way up.

5 of 5Graphics card is not the weakest link anymore Tuesday, September 09, 2008 A Customer from Palm Coast, FL
Well Battlefield 2, Star Wars Galaxies and Spore have never looked so good in DirecX 9.0c. And CoD4, MS Flight Sim X and Crysis have knocked my socks off! BUT ... it seems now my CPU and RAM can't keep up with the 280GX OC. Time to get a 790i...and I'm not complaining...LOL
I gave it a 4 in value because I believe the cards need to be a little more price competative with ATI.
