Nice, i got an EVGA one, the box looks bigger, and it came with a huge skull poster.
This Graphics Card rulez!!

[VincenzoAvallone]

never had a problem from the day ive installed it till now

[HEDER]

great thanks I appreciate it that makes me feel better

[ninjakatana]

im thinking of painting the orange grill red, think it would look good?

[ninjakatana]

yea my case has a window on the side, and had red leds, i just think it would look better red than orange

[VincenzoAvallone]

@TheKuerbisaffe this is the shorter version..theres another with a slightly better cooling sistem but its longer and its too big for my rig

[PCsector]

@Darkvinx88 when it comes in with my MSI GD55, Corse air Vengance(blue) and 2500k ill make video of my RIG

[HEDER]

Hey I was wondering how stable this card is now with the latest drivers?
I just ordered it but i heard on a few forums from 2011 that the card was really unstable and it tends to crash

[VincenzoAvallone]

modern games dont even use all my 4gigs..more ram is useless right now..would be nice to have more GPU ram for future games but i think ill just sell this one and get a 680 or the next when they come out in the next years..for now works great

[VincenzoAvallone]

why overclock them? theres no game that will put your cards in crysis for now...also overclocking makes your cards to consume more energy and create more heat for a boost of performance around 1% 2% is it worth it? ive overclocked my card for test with the zotac firestorm app and ive seen it became a bit unstable..the performance boost was around 6-7 frames

[clodc]

si hai ragione ma la top di gamma adesso è la 690, io sarei veramente arrapato dalla 680 :)

[clodc]

si scusa era un pò una battuta è meglio la 680 o la tua?

[VincenzoAvallone]

e allora prenditi un buon alimentatore grosso e con molti ampere sulle linee cosi vai bene anche in caso di upgrade..farti una 680 o 690 ora e vederla soffrire tra un anno ti conviene? o è meglio spendere un po di meno ora e poi comprarsi una bestia quando cominciano ad uscire i giochi Unreal engine 4 powered? dipende da te..tanto i giochi attuali girano anche sui cellulari siccome sono in gran parte porting da x360

[VincenzoAvallone]

@PCsector ive got my rig from a friend for a ridiculus price it was one week old lol

[VincenzoAvallone]

why painting it? do you have an open or transparent case? xD

[clodc]

Alimentatore PC Cooler Master GX 750W 80plus Bronze 12V avevo pensato ma poi penso che una 680 li reggerà questo nuovi giochi con l'engine 4 no?

[VincenzoAvallone]

no non è detto..il motore gira su una 680 ma non si sà se i giochi saranno piu pesanti..è come la 9800gt per la generazione attuale..cioe se devi spendere 400 euro risparmiali e prenditi una piu potente tra un anno..piu che tenerti questa per due tre anni

[VincenzoAvallone]

@TechcoreIsSexy thanks :) ive just installed it and its 5 times faster then my 9800gt :Q_

[adryanvalhallatier]

8gigs is what most people recommend and not 4 gigs just google it... windows 7 eats a lot of RAM btw. above 8 gigs and you can't see any difference

[VincenzoAvallone]

indovina? xD ma costa molto molto in piu..e all'epoca non esisteva nemmeno..cmq non so se conviene prendere una scheda top di gamma ora siccome stiamo all'alba di una nuova generazione sia di console che di giochi per pc e ne la mia ne la 680 ce la faranno a gestire i giochi next gen a palla..quindi per ora io consiglio a tutti di prendere un'onesta 560ti e semai poi aggiornare alle nuove serie per i giochi che arriveranno.
