Picked this card up as a replacement for my EVGA 8800 GTX. Got it on sale for $199. That's comparable to online sites regular prices but there's no shipping involved! This was pretty much the best card I could get for my four year old system board (EVGA 680i) and power supply I have (700w). Fully compatible with the older PCIe x16 spec. Right off the bat I noticed this card runs much cooler than the 8800, even under load. I primarily play SC2, CounterStrike, and BF Bad Company 2 and this card breezed through them all. Installed in minutes. Went to NVIDIA's web site and got the latest drives so I didn't even bother with the install CD. It's shorter and lighter than the 8800 so fitting it in smaller cases shouldn't be an issue. If you're budget limited like I am this card blends price and performance like no other!

This card is doing very well matched with a Phenom II X4 955. With a 1680x1050 monitor I'm able to max or almost max every in game setting and keep a good FPS. The card is physically small considering its ability so it will fit in almost any case. Its very cool running and extremely quiet. PNY uses Nvidia's "reference" cooler and its a good one. While game it only hits 64C maximum and that's quite low. At idle the card throttles down and is only using 15W of power, so its very thrifty and cool running while surfing the web in 2D mode. Its definitely the best value in graphics cards at this moment.

This is an excellent graphics card. The card supports the latest Direct X 11 features, and has CUDA acceleration for video editing. The price/performance on these cards is great, and they are short, quiet, and cool running. Installation is a breeze, and my PC is now able to run most games completely smoothly at full HD resolution with all of the features turned on. Highly recommended.
