EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS Video Card
Redefine your gaming reality with the EVGA GeForce® 8800 GTS 640MB PCI Express
graphics card, and featuring the world's first DirectX® 10 GPU and a powerful
unified architecture that delivers an incredibly true-to-life gaming experience.
Power through games at record speeds and charge through game maps with vividly
realistic, sun-up to sun-down HDR lighting effects while steering clear of mind-blowing
physics effects such as explosions, fire, and smoke. Crank up 16x full-screen
anti-aliasing without missing a beat - no jaggies, no worries. And relax watching
your favorite movies with NVIDIA PureVideo™ technology.
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.

I had this cards since day one. When they cast $300+... vut it was and still worth every single penny. They are very quiet. Just be careful with the voltages, I had to replace both due to know issues (NO crazy overclocking...) but hey... EVGA replace those, no questions ask! I play C&C 3 and FSX, no issues... really good cards!

These cards are nice, and two of them are even better, but watch out...If tiger direct say they have one in stock, that means you be on back order for ever . Still today the card i ordered indicates one in stock when customer service said they dont have a eta on the back ordered card.

AMAZING VIDEO CARD!! Do not waste your money on the SSC Edition as you can just overclock it yourself...its the same card. This card is great, i get 15-18 FPS in Crysis at VeryHigh settings 2x Anti-Aliasing and at a resolution of 1680x1050. It plays everything else i own at max settings no problem.(COD4 60FPS+ at max settings). If your looking for a card to play the most graphically demanding games now, and in the future, go for this card. Its amazing...

This card is great much better then 8600 gt. Only thing I should have bought 2 instead of one. Gaming always looks better on SLI. No issues. Installed great but I do recomend downloading the beta drivers they work so much better.

What
is SLI Technology?
NVIDIA® SLI™ technology is a revolutionary platform innovation that allows
you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple
NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce® SLI
media and communications processor (MCP).
How Does SLI Technology Work?
Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic
in each NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) and MCP, NVIDIA SLI technology
delivers up to twice the performance of a single graphics solution.
SLI GPU Graphics Cards NVIDIA SLI GPUs deliver powerful, elegant and super-rich graphics
for games and other graphics-intensive applications. Combining two NVIDIA
SLI-Ready certified graphics cards (with the same GPU) in a single system
with an nForce SLI MCP results in up to double the graphics performance. NVIDIA SLI-Ready GPUs feature dedicated, built-in SLI hardware logic
and take advantage of the additional bandwidth of the PCI Express bus
architecture. Connected by the SLI connector (which ships with all SLI-Ready
motherboards), each GPU has a maximized connection pathway, and can leverage
the second card for reaching top-speed performances. SLI Technology can
scale both geometry and fill rate performance for multiple GPUs and output
in both digital and analog formats for the highest image quality.
