Customer Reviews
By Mark
I bought mine refurbished through computer geeks for $119 plus shipping and some other items. I could have bought locally for $130 refurbished. Which looking back on the deal, I probably should have. Anyway the card I got in the male, came with no instructions, and no driver disk. So I went online and discovered the EVGA forums, and realized I may have a lot of issues after installation, but I had already opend the package and broke the package seal.

Before purchase I knew I had to upgrade my power supply to a minimum of 500w, cause the card calls for a minimum of 450w. So I bought a 500w supply, and after reading the online manual, I discovered I needed at least 24amps on the 12v rail. The 500w supply only could put out 18 amps. So I had to shell out another $100 locally for a 700w cooler master power supply. This video card requires 2-6pin power plugs in the back of the card, straight from the power supply, which was another perk of the 700w cooler master.

After the install. It powered up nicely, with no other problems associated with other people according to the EVGA Forums. I am running a barebone HP P4703W with a AMD quad core. So maybe that is why I didn't have any problems with drivers? It downloaded its own drivers as well. When I registered with EVGA, I also purchased the RMA warranty, which basically if my video card craps out, I send my bad one to them, and while in transit, they send me one of equal value, before receiving mine. As long as I don't modify or tear apart mine.

Aside from having to buy a big and expensive power supply, I am satisfied. It plays Command and Conquer with HDMI at custom full settings for everything perfectly.

On the flip side there is a Geforce 560 ti that was about the same price, and it only required 18A on the 12v rail, so something to think about before you purchase the 460.
