eVGA cards any good?
I'm about to buy a new video card...(a nVidia one) and i'm looking at the
companies that make them such as PNY, BFG, MSI, LEADTEK, eVGA, CHAINTECH, etc.... eVGA cards seem to be remarkably cheaper. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. Or as a matter of fact, any of these cards. I have a BGF Asylum Geforce FX 5200 Ultra right now, and kinda wanna get me a FX 5900 (non ultra). I found a eVGA one for 205.00$ and thought that was a pretty good deal, but are they cheap? thanks! ~Brooks~ |

It wasn't remarkably capable (no extra features or anything) and not quite as fast as cards in the same class, but it's worked for 4 years so far without any compatibility problems, or right out failure -- -- Jeff Hancock Software Engineering @ RIT Ellingson 04004 AIM: x SonOfAGuN x |

I've had overheating problems with one eVGA card, but it doesn't have a fan
and only a small heatsink. Dave "PentiumPunk" wrote in message . com...

Their hotwings were cheap, and good! Also, there was a sports bar called Jox. Forget where it was. Think it was east of RIT. But, they had 10 cent hotwings every Wednesday. -- Strontium "It's no surprise, to me. I am my own worst enemy. `Cause every now, and then, I kick the livin' **** `outta me." - Lit |
