Pros: This card kicks butt!I have two of them and they are great! I am staying right at 43c at load with a single loop. I would buy from this company again because their customer service is top notch!
Cons: I have had to RMA one of the cards after only a month of service and now I an needing to send the RMA'ed board back as well. The turn around time is good and the customer service is great but frustrating to have the hassel. The card is long, so make sure you have the room for the card and weighs about 5.5 lbs.
Notes: The card is inpressive with copper and black finish. The downloadable game is really great - not a cheap game to get you to buy the product.
awesome performance, great temps!

I bought two of these. One of the cards did have an issue with one GPU running hotter -- but EVGA was awesome and swapped the card out. Both cards (all 4 GPU's) are running about 45c at load. I've been running FSX maxed -- and getting great fps, as well as Elder Scrolls Oblivion -- with great effects and performance. These cards are top of the line -- you are paying to have EVGA take care of the waterblock -- definitely worth it! Running two loops -- one loop is for both cards (which run in parallel) -- other loop is cpu 4.2ghz, vr, nb, sb -- both loops share one pump and res -- great temps!

Using EVA Precision it was easy to crank this card up without worries of overheating. Runs 2 instances of folding@home at 20% overclock below 62 degrees.
Did note that the direction of water flow affects whether GPU1 or GPU2 runs hottest.

$200.00 for a waterblock is pricey, but if you want a GTX top of the line, you have to pay the price. Very heavy video card almost ten pounds. Installed very easy just had to download the lastest driver from EVGA 190.38 64 bit because Windows 7 installed a Microsoft driver. I am pleased with the performance after OC'ed (downloaded EVGA precision for OCing)
Monitors come supporting different video connector technologies:
VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, or combinations. Not every monitor
supports these, so check the specifications carefully before making your
selection.
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is the
most popular high-quality digital connection for monitors (though HDMI is
quickly becoming its equal in popularity). DVI is a video interface
standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices
such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. It was
developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG).
It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data to a compatible
monitor or projector, and is partially compatible with the High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D).
DVI represents a major improvement in image quality over the older VGA
standard.
The DVI interface uses a digital protocol
in which the desired illumination of pixels is transmitted as binary data.
When the display is driven at its native resolution, it will read each
number and apply that brightness to the appropriate pixel. In this way, each
pixel in the output buffer of the source device corresponds directly to one
pixel in the display device, whereas with an analog signal the appearance of
each pixel may be affected by its adjacent pixels as well as by electrical
noise and other forms of analog distortion.
Previous standards such as the analog VGA were designed for CRT-based
devices and thus did not use discrete time display addressing. As the analog
source transmits each horizontal line of the image, it varies its output
voltage to represent the desired brightness. In a CRT device, this is used
to vary the intensity of the scanning beam as it moves across the screen.
The two types of DVI interfaces are Single
Link and Dual Link. Following are the features and benefits of each:
Single Link - The Single Link interface is limited to a maximum pixel
clock of 165 Hz. It uses four (4) twisted pairs of wires (one each of Red,
Green, Blue and Clock). Maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz.
Dual Link - The Dual Link interface is most common for today’s modern
LCD monitors. It provides three times as many pixels as the Single Link
interface. And its maximum clock may exceed 165 Hz. Dual Link uses six (6)
twisted pairs wires with two (2) each for Red, Green, and Blue, as well as a
pair for Clock. Dual Link’s maximum resolution is 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz. When
you use the Dual Link Interface you can use a longer cable because of its
higher bandwidth. Dual Link also provides HDCP support, which is required
for Blu-Ray playback.
If your Computer supports DVI ports, but
the Monitor does not, then a DVI to VGA adaptor is available at low cost to
solve this. Or inversely, if the Computer output is only VGA, and the
Monitor supports DVI, adaptors are available for this as well.

Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!
PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
PCI
Express 2.0 - High End Graphics Have Arrived
PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from
2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance
boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express
2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of
a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow
product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve
high performance while reducing cost.
A number
of optimizations and improvements have been made to the protocol and software
layers of the PCI Express architecture in the PCI Express Base 2.0 specification.
These include:
Dynamic
link speed management – to control the speed at which the link is operating
Link bandwidth
notification – to notify software (operating system, device drivers,
etc) of changes in link speed and width
Capability
structure expansion – to expand the control registers to better manage
devices, slots and the interconnect
Access
control services – optional controls to manage peer-peer transactions
Completion
timeout control – to define a required disable mechanism plus related
optional enhancements
Function-level
reset – optional mechanism to reset functions within a device
Power
limit redefinition – to redefine slot power limit values to accommodate
devices that consume higher power
Video Card Designs
Today's high performance video cards
enable amazing graphics, and frequently come emblazoned with high-impact
graphics, or in brilliant colors. These help to enhance the appeal of
the card. However, from time to time, manufacturers do change these
designs and colors, but this has no effect on the features, specifications,
or performance of the specific video card model, and will usually retain the
same manufacturer's model and part number. The images displayed for a
video card are based upon the sample provided by the manufacturer, and the
specific visual design you receive may vary. So remember, while the
card may look cool, it's the specs that matter!
Will Your
Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...
Before you
buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this video card. For
example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed
only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Please read the specifications
carefully or call us for expert advice.
Close-Up:
PCI, AGP, and PCI-E (PCI Express)
Check
your motherboard and make sure you are purchasing the correct cardbus
type.
There are 3 types of cardbus slots currently available:
PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot)
PCI
- The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between
the CPU and peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and
RAID cards. Though limited in terms of performance, they are considered
the best value when you upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI
interface can be found and used in nearly any motherboard. Click

AGP
- The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed
especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to
8x improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It
provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one
AGP slot is on the motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with
an AGP bus slot for an AGP card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data
transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1
Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.) Click
here to view our selection of AGP Cards
PCI
Express - PCI Express is the newest technology that
is superior to both PCI and AGP, in terms of graphic performance. It offers
performance as much as 4x faster than the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express
connections can support fast data transfer rates, which can be used to
connect high-speed devices such as high-end video cards. The slots come
in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8, and x16. Presently,
most high-end motherboards meant for design, video production, or gaming
come with PCI express slots. To use a PCI Express card, your computer
must have at least one available PCI Express slot. Click
