IT'S SO HUGE!, Power hungerer
|

When I took that monster out of the box, I had a shivering wave coming up my spine as I thought about complications. This gfx card is way to huge! It's a luck I bought an Antec nine hundred to fit almost anything in! Still, it made me swear during install for various reasons. First attempt, card would fit through the wires XD. Second attempt was pretty hard because of all the board wiring. Third attempt was close to success but it made disconnect hdd Sata cable on the way in! After a few minutes to figure out a plan, I finally got it in. To my (unpleasant) surprise, I realized that a 1X8pins power cable could fit the board and I had none. But fear not, 2X6 pins is enough to use the board... BUT you won't be able to Overclock, not even a little.
Also, I have to confess I had a 2900 PRO, but funny enough, I easily managed to switch it's firmware to the XT version (after I got the proper wiring) without paying for it. This PRO card in only an underclocked version of the XT which makes it easy to tweak.
In the end, buy this board only if you have space in your tower.. But I believe I should have waited for the 3780 XD
