Bleh I need to AS5 my Q6600, then maybe it will cooperate with OC'ing.

And just noticed your EVGA comment lol...Man they are one of the best in brand out there. I think you need to replace that Economy with "Exceptional".

Personally I am running an MSI card. (which is also lifetime warranty w/OC coverage.)

I think you need to see this. This shows that EVGA's customer service alone speaks volumes.

Pros: Everything that everyone else is saying...it is a GTX after all

Cons: I am positive that all people that gave this card 5 eggs did not have to deal with EVGA support. If you are going to spend all this money to buy a component choose a company that has real support.

Other Thoughts: The card literary blew up, frying everything (i guess) on my system. Nothing oc'ed and sparks were coming out the PCIEx power connectors. I hope this does not happen to you and you have to deal with EVGA support. 5 hours on hold, people hanging up on you and blaming the VoIP that they use...ridiculous


Manufacturer Response:Please contact me directly because I would like to extend some type of compensation to you for the unacceptable customer service that you recieved.

Since then, I've sent back my BFG Tech and picked up an EVGA 8800GTX. I had a EVGA 7950 GT and loved it, don't know why I went to another company, however for the limited time I had the BFG, it gave me no problems.

A name isn't everything either. I bought a pair of KSwiss sneakers a few years back, and within three months they had literally fallen apart. Just goes to show that you can't base everything off a few constanents and vowels aligned in a four letter, random pattern.

I've got no complaints about my EVGA products - been using them for a while now. Another plus for them is their forum ... lots of activity there and easy to get answers to questions.

err? my card...Reviews look fine to me ( and does not take into account the fact I never put in my review.) THis is the card I use in my sig & runs at 713/2.3GHz 61c Idle/85c max temps) with air cooling. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127288

PNY is a better sounding name?

I think it's because they only have three letters and evga is four..

you lazy bastard lol

PNY? Aren't those Pathetic Northern Yankees? don't know if I would want a card from them lol!

Every PNY card I've seen has been awful and broke. Every EVGA card I've seen works flawlessly, above and beyond what its supposed to be.

PNY reminds me of 'puny' or something similar.

But, if they had excellent reviews, I'd give them a shot. It's all about reviews and customer testimonials.

I'm not going to argue with you considering you pulled the O-word, however statisically speaking when someone reviews a product, either food, clothes, stores, essentially experience... it tends to be everything bad. When all you hear is the good of a company, then that speaks volumes.

Of course, if you've had nothing but a swell time with a certain company while everyone else has been dragged through the mud, well... nothing is going to change your mind. If it's not broke, don't fix it, right?
