Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware. |

PCI
Express 2.0 - High End Graphics Have Arrived
PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from
2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance
boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express
2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of
a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow
product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve
high performance while reducing cost.
A number
of optimizations and improvements have been made to the protocol and software
layers of the PCI Express architecture in the PCI Express Base 2.0 specification.
These include:
-
 Dynamic
link speed management – to control the speed at which the link is operating
- Link bandwidth
notification – to notify software (operating system, device drivers,
etc) of changes in link speed and width
- Capability
structure expansion – to expand the control registers to better manage
devices, slots and the interconnect
- Access
control services – optional controls to manage peer-peer transactions
- Completion
timeout control – to define a required disable mechanism plus related
optional enhancements
- Function-level
reset – optional mechanism to reset functions within a device
- Power
limit redefinition – to redefine slot power limit values to accommodate
devices that consume higher power

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.

Video Card Designs
Today's high performance video cards
enable amazing graphics, and frequently come emblazoned with high-impact
graphics, or in brilliant colors. These help to enhance the appeal of
the card. However, from time to time, manufacturers do change these
designs and colors, but this has no effect on the features, specifications,
or performance of the specific video card model, and will usually retain the
same manufacturer's model and part number. The images displayed for a
video card are based upon the sample provided by the manufacturer, and the
specific visual design you receive may vary. So remember, while the
card may look cool, it's the specs that matter! |

Will Your
Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...
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. Please read the specifications
carefully or call us for expert advice.
Close-Up:
PCI, AGP, and PCI-E (PCI Express)
Check
your motherboard and make sure you are purchasing the correct cardbus
type.
There are 3 types of cardbus slots currently available:
PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot)
PCI
- The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between
the CPU and peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and
RAID cards. Though limited in terms of performance, they are considered
the best value when you upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI
interface can be found and used in nearly any motherboard.

AGP
- The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed
especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to
8x improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It
provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one
AGP slot is on the motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with
an AGP bus slot for an AGP card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data
transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1
Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.)

PCI
Express - PCI Express is the newest technology that
is superior to both PCI and AGP, in terms of graphic performance. It offers
performance as much as 4x faster than the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express
connections can support fast data transfer rates, which can be used to
connect high-speed devices such as high-end video cards. The slots come
in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8, and x16. Presently,
most high-end motherboards meant for design, video production, or gaming
come with PCI express slots. To use a PCI Express card, your computer
must have at least one available PCI Express slot.

Customer Reviews
Great for the price
The only downside to this refurbished card is they don't include a 6 pin to 8 pin PCI-E adapter which is needed in most cases unless you have a very new PSU. Also, the driver CD is for Windows XP and Vista, nothing for Win7. Not a lot of trouble to get the new drivers but still kind of strange. It shows the age of this product.
Other than that, it works fine and is fairly quiet for a large card and large fan. I haven't messed with the overclocking but it's running very cool in my system.
Worked for a few weeks.
Overheating badly with no overclocking. At 100% fan temps with a 80% gpu load are 80c. Also I can handle a loud fan if it actually cools the card, this one does not.
EVGA has a lifetime warranty, so I'm good there.
Excellent Card
Its an older card. '08-'09 release I think. But $100 for a $500 Video card is a steal. It EASILY handles the games I play (GTA 4, Need For Speed games, and RCT3). This card still sits very high on video card hierarchy charts found across the internet. Its not worth $300+ dollars to get a newer card with an unnoticeable performance increase. This works well
Flawless
Great card, good deal.
its ok for what it is
older video card.... does what it can handle. i bought a refurb last week here and put it in the computer for sli.... runs ok so far... but it is the 2nd card so maybe hard to tell. i dont really notice much diffrence to be honest from having a single card.
it works tho seemingly. go for it.
