Better than reality. Gaming "reality" was once defined as having a graphics card that could deliver true-to-life images, until complex images or more than one character entered the scene. Now, with XFX's GeForce GTX 200 graphics cards, you can experience truly immersive 3D gaming experience that will make your heart race and your palms sweat. Harnessing the power of second generation unified architecture, SLI technology and top-of-the-line DirectX 10 support, an in-your-face experience, delivered in blazing fast frame rates, is yours. Real life has never been this realistic.

Summary: Power To Spare
Comment: This card is fantastic. It has easily run every game I've thrown at it at their highest settings, except for Crysis which I ran all High with Textures and Shading at Very High. It still ran butter smooth and more settings probably could've been increased to Very High, but I was satisfied at that point.
Other games I've tried on it so far are Call of Duty 4, Gothic 3, Silent Hunter 4, Space Force: Rogue Universe, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Titan Quest: Immortal Throne, Two Worlds and The Witcher - all at max settings and at my monitor's native resolution of 1280 x 1024, which is considered "low res" these days I guess.
I monitored the temps and fan speeds using GPU-Z while running these games. The temperature rarely exceeded 60C and the fan speed rarely increased from it's default 40%. At first I wondered if the card had the same fan speed control issues some recent ATI cards have had, but the fan speed does in fact fluctuate so I have to assume everything is okay.
I sent the XFX support team a support ticket asking why the memory clock was being shown as half the advertised speed in GPU-Z. They responded promptly and explained that GPU-Z cannot differentiate between single and double data rate RAM and so was measuring only half the cycles per clock. Based on that single support ticket I can only say the XFX support system and staff are top notch.
With the release of the Forceware 177.8X (?) drivers this card can also process game physics as if you had a standalone Ageia PhysX card. I've yet to try it myself, but I've read it works well as long as you're okay with losing some of your framerate, which is understandable since the card would be pulling double duty as both the graphics and physics processor.
In a nutshell, it's the most powerful card I've ever owned. It has power to spare at this point and I can't even imagine what level of graphical fidelity is going to be required for someone to "need" two of these in SLI. Of course, that statement may sound quaint in the future, but not at this time.
Highly recommended.
Specs: Asus P5N72-T Premium motherboard, Intel Core2Quad Q9450 (stock speed), 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 RAM, Creative X-Fi Titanium, XFX GTX 280 XXX Edition, Vista Home Premium 64-bit
