This graphics card gets an excellent overall review! This is a brand by the manufacturer “BFG Tech” that is the most common product in the Geforce GTX 200 Series. So I will go over a review of this product.
There is great image quality and media playability. It is very reliable and stable when overclocked whilst under even the most heaviest of loads. Though, you might want to make room in your case, so make some measurements before purchasing this card for it is quite large; approximately 4-inches longer and somewhat taller than the older video cards that users had to replace.
It is also great for budgetary reasons compared to the latest and most recent cards. As far as noise is concerned, it runs smoothly and rather quietly.
It’s very good for your hardcore gamer and you can pretty much play any game without any crashes nor lag. As an example, the graphics intense game “Crysis” was playable just fine with all the graphical settings turned all the way up!
There aren’t many complaints but there are some things to note. Adjustments might need to be made. For instance, this card doesn’t self-adjust it’s speed to compensate for efficient cooling of the card, so you might want to download an application known as “Nvidia’s Ntune” program where you can go in and make the necessary adjustments in the application; make the settings for around 65-70% when running games for an ideal temperature. Also, you might want to provide a decent amount of case space to allow for decent airflow and circulation to optimize cooling in the case.
Other things to note, for any kind of resale, the warranty is non-transferable and is only a valid for the original purchaser. The artistic design of the heat sink is impressive as well as good packaging and attention to detail with great customer service and technical support.
