eVGA?

[Shooks]

How good is this company, i am thinking of buying a ti4600 from them, on pre-order....they have a pretty good upgrade deal if you sign up so I am seriously considering them, but I have never heard anything about their cards. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Looks like a good deal. Considering the stock core clock is 30 mhz higher and 8-10C cooler than most of the other cards' highest OC, the memory should be able to OC well into the 700's (heatpipe cooling on GPU, top and bottom mem) I think it could be a good deal. Let us also not forget the upgrade program.

Their GF4 MX440 got a pretty good review. I would assume the Ti4600 would do as well also.

Thanx man, any other people actaully have a eVGA card...how is the service and support?

The eVGA cards seems like it would be a good deal especially with the step-up program. If you are going to pay full price for the card, why not get some insurance to make sure it lasts. I am trying to get one of these cards to review on my site to see the ACS2 system work first hand but they do not have any product samples ready yet. Probably will not see the card released till the end of the month but that way, the slackers get a little longer to preorder one if they want to take advantage of the set-up program because you can only participate in it if you preorder.

Given the whole 3.3ns eVGA Ti200 debacle... I'd like to see a review before I pull the trigger. Basically they released a card with wicked fast mem, but didn't look @ the voltage specs of the card... ended up with Ti200 cards that had RAM that ran @ 5ns.

The other thing to consider, maybe they are having problems implementing their new cooling tech.

Asus and Gainward revised their clockspeed specs for their cards... both were initially supposed to run @ 330 (Gainward in enhanced mode)... backed down. I don't think I'd preorder this card. Then again, the other thing to consider is that eVGA has a 30 day money back guarantee.

Yeah, i know it seems like a good deal, but then again there are the probs you mentioned. I need to know quickly whether i should take the plunge cause I dont know how much longer this pre-order thing will last.

They have said, mid-month.
