First off, somebody else wrote about a "jet engine" noise, and I have no idea what that's about. My machine is as quiet as it was before. This card is absolutely beautiful. It does everything it's advertised to do and more. It's quiet, fast, and has decent VRAM. Every problem I had with my old card is solved now. I am impressed beyond words. My Valve games (like Half-Life 2) look great and I get absolutely no lag. I did a stress test in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, which uses Valve's "High Dynamic Range Rendering" technology, which is a whole new level of lighting control and graphics attached to their Source engine, and maxed out the graphics. I achieved 60 frames per second. I was in awe. Also while playing some of my other first-person shooters, like Call of Duty: World at War, I was able see things I never noticed before using my old setup, like heat-ripples from gunfire! Even older games like the first Half-Life look great. Even X-Plane likes this card, and X-Plane is hard to please sometimes. One of my favorite parts of this thing is the cable that plugs into a special S-Vid on the back and lets you output video in standard s-video, RCA, or PbPrY, which is great because I do a lot of video editing. nVidia does it again!
Customer Review: Great card for preformance lovers.
This is a great video card, especially for the price. You would find this card priced brand new at around 130-150 are local stores or anywhere else besides amazon. This card is pretty big, and is quite loud though. But to me performance is all that matters so its not really a inconvenience. Make sure you have adequate space in your case so your card fits. Its about 5 inches long I think. It also requires its own power source from the PSU. It comes with a Y Adapter power connector for that purpose. Uses a 6pin connector into the card and than it converts the 6 pin into a 4 pin molex. So you will also need 2 available 4 pin molex connectors with your PSU. You may need a fairly good power supply of at least 400w for enough power and to keep your system nice and cool, because this card generates lots of heat and uses a good amount of power. It also comes with the drivers on the installation disc, of course and lots of bonus material. Mainly just high definition Geforce wallpapers and some videos. For those who need a affordable high end card for gaming, or intense video editing this is the card to get. It runs at almost twice the performance of your Geforce 8600 series cards, so it would be cheaper to buy this and less power consumption than SLIing 2 8000 series cards. Another thing I like to add, I got the free 2 day shipping on this and got the card the very next day. Which was a super plus to get it a day ahead of schedule. So last though, if you want performance over anything else this card will not let you down.
Designing your viewing environment can affect your enjoyment of your home cinema as much as your choice of projector and screen. The best projector in the world will never be viewed at its best unless the home cinema viewing environment is also designed. Integrating curtains and blinds in to a mood lighting control system can ensure curtains close when required. Our lighting keypads contain ambient light sensors enabling us to close blinds if lighting levels are higher than optimum. In an ideal environment room lighting should be no more than 10% of the brightest white available through the display.
Back lighting the screen can reduce fatigue during extended viewing periods. It ensures dramatic changes in brightness between scenes do not tire the eye, causing fatigue. This back light should be closer to the blue end of the spectrum (normal incandescent lighting is too red and will therefore make skin tones appear washed out). Back lighting also helps the perception of blacks enabling screens which struggle to portray deep blacks.
Even elements such as colours in the room can impact how images are viewed - watching films against different coloured backdrops has a huge affect on colour perception and brightness. In general a neutral colour scheme should be displayed around the viewing area and should have a matt finish to minimise reflections.
Viewing angle also plays a huge part in viewing comfort, the fashion recently has been to mount LCD and Plasma displays above fireplaces, the viewing angle should be no more than %2B/- 15% - any more and fatigue will quickly set in. It is also worth bearing in mind that the further of axis the viewer strays the worse the picture may become - LCD screens in particular should be watched closely on axis whilst projectors and plasma displays are more forgiving.
Viewing distance is also important, our high definition installations allow the user to enjoy a great home cinema experience from about 3 times the height of the screen. As we install custom home cinema seating we can ensure viewing distance is correct and the screen is set to the correct height.
