This wasn't even a higher end card. I bought it because the system it was on...an HP...had the AGP slot removed from the board so I was stuck using PCI (not PCI-E) cards and EVGA had one of the few that was still being produced. She was just surfing the web at the time, so it's not like she was trying to game or anything on it. My customer service experience really sucked with them. I would never buy another EVGA product again.

You have to be careful with those higher end cards. You have to watch the temps. If you rely on the default fan speed settings, your card might get up to the 90's under heavy load. A single card shouldn't be a problem under normal load, but it's really something to watch for in SLI configs. My top card runs 10C hotter than the bottom card because it is getting all of the bottom card's excess heat. Still, the card's are supposed to drop the core clock if they overheat. I have never been interested in testing this functionality. What series card was it? On 2/11/2012 3:26 PM, Eric Roberts wrote: > > I have had a lot of problems with EVGA cards.
