>> Fantastic card Exceeds expectations
Long story short this card is fantastic I ve had stable performance very high FPS in modern games and the fan is fairly quiet Overall very pleased Using under windows 7 on an i7 system
Just make sure you have room in your case I had to move a hard drive in my mid tower case because this card is so long
>> Problem when using two monitors 1920/1080
This is a good board Good to know the noise is below the average as well
However I had bad luck with this one When I try to switch the clone option on in both Windows XP or Vista the video signal sometimes fails loose sync or even the whole image either in one or both monitors
I m using two Samsung LCD FULLHD 32 and 40
I haven t had this problem with my old Gigabyte 8800GT 512mb and my previous Evga 7800GTX The problem can occurs when switching resolutions too p ex from 1920x1080 to 1600x900 I had this problem with Call of Duty Modern Warfare
I ve even formated my Windows XP and the problem is still there I reinstalled the drivers etc
It s sad once I like to play games either in my living room using my wireless Xbox 360 controller or in the computer s room The workaround I ve found is to alternate the cables using just one monitor at time
>> Modification of many mid tower cases may be necessary
I have a mid tower size Antec P150 case I had no trouble fitting in my previous 8800GTS Guess what The GTX 275/285 s are even longer This may involve you having to do some serious modification of your existing case The GTX 275/285 card may not fit your mid tower case The back of this card may just happen to be able to extend it s rear end into one of the hdd bays with no problem A lot of mid tower owners will find the card won t fit without modifying hacksawing the hard drive bay shelves It CAN be done Buy a small hole saw with a metal cutting blade Cut away as much space as is needed If you have just 2 hdd s in a mid tower case you may need a new case to use with this card
