eVGA GeForce 6600GT, (128 MB) PCI Express Video Card

Pros: Best Card for ~$200; Solid drivers; One slot solution.
Cons: Only 8 pipelines, not 12 or 16

I recently built a computer for a client and our price ceiling came out at $1000. This is a fairly good price limit for a gaming computer, and the whole machine turned out great. I looked hard for a great card to fit within this budget and that would go ...

Pros: Affordable, performs well when not crashing

After Black & White 2 was released I decided to upgrade my aging geForce ti4200 to something that would run on decent framerates. I chose this card because it was what I perceived to be the best bang for my buck. I installed the card and the drivers with ...

Pros: great performance while it lasts.
Cons: Dead in under 6 months, no help from manufacturer.

Initially I was VERY happy with this card, it ran all the games I like (Farcry, F.E.A.R., GTA San Andreas) on medium to high settings.

BUT it died in under 6 months.

At first it kept shutting down my P.C. with a "critical error" that Windows reports as being related to my card or driver. Reinstalled the driver countless times and finally it started displaying red lines and what apper to be characters of some kind and discolouration in random patches after yet ANOTHER driver reinstallation Windows would fail as soon as it tried to load the driver.

Neither the store I purchased it from or the manufaturer have been helpful in rectifying the situation. Will never buy another EVGA product again.
