Comment:
-Price tag. I got this card on black Friday, so it was below 贄.-Temperature. Relatively cool, 61 under full load, with 80F ambient temperature.-Size. It is a couple inches longer than most existing cards, BUT the fan is 1 of the thinner I have observed. Could possibly fit another pciex1 card, without too considerably heat affecting it.-Energy. Excellent card for the cash. I play LoL, CoD4, L4D2, all at maxed settings. CoD:BO, Crysis, SC2, new games, at medium to high. Not bad.SLI Scaling- Phenomenal SLI scaling. Can play most new games at max and some AA, AF with a 23" monitor. -Sound. Some people today have complained about the fan, even though it is not considerably louder than the 4 case fans I have next to me. Does not bother me substantially.-Only two way SLI. Best card for the income. Used to be an ATI fanboy, but have been converted. 2 of these with slight OC beat my buddies 5770x2 stock. Can't beat that.

Fantastic, wonderful card. This card is a beast for most newer games such as BFBC2, Metro, Cryostasis... and quite a few much more NONE AT ALL! Greatest CARD, I WILL Maintain Getting FROM NVIDIA.

Comment:
Great mid-range card. Runs all the games and programs I require it to. Got it on black friday for virtually half off, so that was a massive plus as properly. Simple to overclock Not that effective, but like I said straightforward to overclock. I'm really concerned about the price/performance of the components of my computers so this was a good obtain.

Sturdy Shadow Rendering and acceptable cooling. My old card had a tough time rendering shadows and would overheat if pushed tough this card has been drastic improvement. no actual cons. if your video card is two+ years old & mid-range this is one thing you should consider.

I heard card was obnoxiously loud according to some evaluations and monstrously major. Perhaps I'm use to a racket but card is hardly any louder than my 7800GT PCI-E card and is the precise identical size. Was ready to take away the shroud when I got it per yet another reviewers recommendation but I have no issue with the current noise volume so dismantling was not necessary. None so far. In a couple of months I will come back and write a stick to up evaluation to see if anything alterations.

Worked good minus solid 1080p graphics... Often had to use 720p resolutions; but for the value I wasn't complaining. What I am complaining about, is the fact that my card just decided to go out on me in the middle of shutting down Windows the other day. I noticed that the blackout points were odd although the shutdown process was taking spot, and I saw the BIOS screen for a split second, then suddenly my monitor switches off! Shock! I did some testing and figured out that it was indeed the video card. Nevertheless waiting on Gigglebit to send me the RMA number so I can get the switch.

Good graphics and quickly card, capable to max out World of Warcraft settings and nonetheless get affordable frame rates Card is Quite loud, and continually crashes.After 2 months I gave up and sent to Gigabyte for warranty service. Meanwhile had different nVidia 430 card in my personal computer - silent and stable, but not as rapid.Got back card from Gigabyte 2 days ago - not a word on what they did (if something). Card nevertheless incredibly loud and still crashes (but perhaps less frequently, can't inform)...

Comment:
Not found however, given that I can't use it :( with X58A-UD3R freezes on W7-64 "welcome" screen, no mouse, no keyboard, harddrive nonetheless crunching.Moved card from PCIEx16_1 to PCIEx8_1 slot - all functions as expectedmoved to PCIEx16_2 - same challengeTried Regular VGA driver - OKReading other forums - thousands of people today complain about the exact same issue with X58 and 400 series card - see posts at nVidia, guru3d and so on.I guess there are superior combinations

Simply put, I don't know if you can beat this card for the cost I paid. The final comment quoted ๟.99 which is the very same price tag I paid once I get the ฮ rebate back. - It enables me to play anything in full settings. Black Ops @ 1440x900 (not 1080, yes I know..) runs like a champ on max settings for almost everything with no a hitch.- Crysis gets at worst 15FPS with anything maxed out (Highest setting, Win7 64 bit DX10). Even on High setting, doubles to about 30fps at worst. - Additional nVidia drivers let for simple over clocking- Not terribly loud or hot even with overclocking- Supports SLI if you have two PCIe x16 or more quickly slots - It's massive, but that could be stated for any gaming class video card. - No video in, but yet again, not usually typical- Needs added power, make certain your power provide has an added 6 prong connection free of charge If this card goes on sale yet again, I very recommend it for gamers on a spending budget. If not on a spending budget, jump up to the 460 :)

Speed was fantastic compared to the XFX 8500GT I had been working with. I liked that you could go up to 90% on fan speed with MSI Afterburner. I ordered two GTS 450 on black Friday, this one and a regular EVGA FPB model. The EVGA is quieter by far, and I like the cooling method on it greater. This Gigabyte a single did have one particular benefit if you can call it that, and that’s that you can set the cooling fan up to 90% compared the 70% of the EVGA. An EVGA Superclocked or F.T.W. offers you the capacity to go up to 100%, and a firmware reflash on a normal one can get you the very same. For me, considering that I paid ๟.99 for every of them, I chose to return this Gigabyte one particular. They were generally meant to be a temporary upgrade till Sandy Bridge launches in Q1, and then I will put the EVGA GTS 450 as Physx and get one or two EVGA GTX 460 for gaming. Fan is just too loud compared to EVGA typical model. For ๟.99 this was a good deal, but I got the EVGA for the identical price and it is better overall for me.

Functions fantastic Handled most of my games on medium with a 25'' monitorGot it on sale so it was low cost Had it for about 2 months and the weight the 6 pin cable connected at the end started bending the board a tiny dont know if its just me but just got also annoying For the price it is now may aswell save up for a HD6850

Comment:
- Got if for ๠ right after rebate, which was great.- Handled all my games on max resolution- Fan was fairly compared with Galaxy GTX 460 768 that I put in immediately after this card. - none Excellent card, and a fantastic price. It appears that every person desires to say you'll regret not receiving a GTX 460, but I don't see any improvement from this GTS 450 to the GTX 460 (and the Galaxy one is FRICKEN LOUD).

Comment:
I get 60 fps in W.O.W. as compared to my earlier 34 fps on my old outdated card. This handles all settings at Ultra. Fantastic card for the cost None that i can assume of. fast shipping

Comment:
Looks excellent on paper. Performs. Loud Fan. Even when idling. Louder than stock core i7, and the loud case fans on antec 902.

Was decently rapid when it worked. Immediately after about 2 hours of use the screen would freeze with pink pixel artifacts. Soon after about a week I gave up troubleshooting it. I RMAed it although Newegg but I was only awarded ์. When I named up I was told that I didn't include on of the free games (I did). Soon after 3 weeks Newegg ultimately gave me the funds and I purchased a EVGA gtx 460.

DON'T Buy THE OC MODEL! Comes with a bigger fan, but this is a great Upper-Mid-Range gfx with 1Ghz GDDR5 power. OC'd to settings discovered online with their advised tool (can't keep in mind where and as well lazy to appear at settings) and got some fantastic performance! 7.three Windows Experience. Sufficient stated? Again, 7.three W.E. for a mid-range GFX card right after O.C. I monitor the temps, and under no circumstances more than 110 degrees F. Software has a tool to warn through audio file for overheating limits. Tiny fan, but you ought to have a icy cool Computer for operating this card in the way it is capable of. 财 for 7.three W.E. .... possibly I'll obtain anotherfor SLI!

Comment:
never ever had a difficulty none this card was my backup when my gtx 560 failed twice. nonetheless running games on highest setting though i wait for gigabyte to fix my 560

Comment:
Excellent upgrade from a 7300GT. I'm confident a GTX is faster but this factor does games wonderfully. I could go on about pros but all I know is when I sit down at the PC, I am glad I purchased this. The fan is a tad loud. I really am not complaining although. It's too bad my M/B won't do SLI since of this factor does this nicely with one, I could not envision two.

This card gives a lot of efficiency for the cash. I didn't need the absolute ideal card for what little gaming I did, but it ran Starcraft II and such on max settings with little fuss. The card died on me a little even though ago and has been sent back to Gigabyte. It was heating up fairly a bit until the fan quit spinning and my POST would beep on video error. This took me out of commission for a although till I got myself a replacement (ATI 6850). We'll have to see how Gigabyte handles the RMA. It has been a although because I utilised an Nvidia based card, and I feel as if they're not competing too nicely with ATI in the terms of price/performance. It took entirely too lengthy for a "middle-of-the-road" card to surface from Nvidia.

What can I say, upgraded from a Geforce 8600 GT and I am utterly amazed. I play newer games such as Metro 2033 on incredibly high settings and get over 60 FPS in full combat, Also play some decent graphic heavy games such as Aion with settings max and frame rate does not drop beneath 60 even in a city. Can't wait to hook this thing up to my HD Television and see how every thing works out. No troubles so far, runs cool. although on occasions I hear a high pitched whine coming from the fan, could just be since it is new but once more doesn't happen all the time. The details are off a bit, it states the clock speed is 810 MHz however that is when the core is overclocked, regular runs at 783 MHz. Also the details mention it comes with an HDMI port again not fully right, it comes with a mini-HDMI port but boxed with it is an mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter so its all great.All in all this card was a wonderful upgrade for me.Technique Specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+. 4 GB 240-Pin DDR2 1066 SDRAM , and now Geforce GTS 450 1GB 128-bit GDDR5.

Awesome video card, in particular for the price! A fantastic video card for those Pc gamers on a budget. Runs a small hot but nothing sufficient cooling can't handle. Card is massive. I'm incredibly pleased with this card, and specifically pleased at it's affordability.To praise Newegg, I bought this card a couple days before the Civ V upgrade promotion bundled with it. I called Newegg about it and they gladly shipped out the Civ V upgrade coupon to me. Excellent client service!

This card is just wonderful for the dollars. I paid ๟ immediately after rebate and couldnt be happier. I wanted to get a 460 series card but will wait till they get significantly less costly. I'm glad I bought this though mainly because it plays every thing great. I overclocked it with Soon after burner to 930񳌴񳮐 and it passes almost everything with flying colors. The highest the temp will get overclocked on full load it 60c. This card runs quite cool compared to other cards I have noticed. I get no much less than 35+ FPS on Dirt 2 with Almost everything on ultra, 4x AA and Vsync on @ 1920񳀨 resolution. This may well not be the fastest card you can obtain but I believe you will be able to play pretty significantly any game and for less than ๠ on sale. Thats a killer deal! This card is pretty big. Not a con but this factor barely fit on my Mirco motherboard. Were talking a 1ቬ of an inch larger and it wouldnt have worked... Fan is quiet untill @ 75% but doesnt get that load at all. Every thing is excellent therefore far for this card. I am quite content I bought this :)

Nvidia does it once again, this is a fantastic card. No flickering, stays cool under Battlefield Poor Corporation 2/ MLB 2K10. None If I had identified it was smaller than my GTS 250, I would have bought two.

Can't say, does not perform Won't POST with ASRock Extreme four Motherboard I detect "hassle" ahead

Good GPU that runs Dragon Age, BFBC2, DoW two, ME2, and lots of other games on MAX like a champ!upgrading from 9400 gt 1gb is a large distinction, thinking about that this GPU is GDDR5Its quite silent, i can barely hear itfantastic card for the $$$ Big!!! but was still able to fit on my Micro ATX Mobo
