I have been running one and been having nothing but issues with it.  It's a know issue and not sure if it is exclusive to certain games or what check these threads out:<a href="http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=60826&st=40" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?...60826&st=40</a><a href="http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=272011&mpage=1&key=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m...page=1&key=</a>

<p>Ah, thanks for the input.  I had a similar problem getting my twin 7950 GT CO's to work.  Seems NVidia has a habit of building a perfect test card, stressing it and overclocking it, then telling their manufacturers that "yeah, it's stable at such-and-such speeds".  I had to load a new bios to each card (that'll teach me to build a gaming rig without a floppy drive), and it downgraded the factory overclock.  And DL'ed the new drivers from eVGA.  Once that was done, it made a world of difference.  nVidia may suck when it comes to testing their stuff out, but eVGA certainly stands by their return policies and customer support.  They had new drivers and a fix out before nVidia did.</p><p>I guess I'll be holding off a little longer.  Just my observation, but a lot of the guys having problems seemed to also be underpowering their rigs. </p>

Installed mine the other day and runs great! Went from 6800gs to the evga superclocked 9600gt and WOW, set the game to High graphics and not a problem.
