8.5 / 10 - VR-Zone

"Their hardware quality on this motherboard is extremely high; the component selection from the 3rd party SATA, the triple BIOS setup, and IR3550. The way the heatsinks are secured to the board, the ton of extra buttons, jumpers, and switches really is awesome. Rivaling the top ROG boards they use more hardware in a better method."

HiTech Legion

Editors Choice - HiTech Legion

"Simply put, the EVGA NEX1500 Classified is the biggest, baddest PSU around, with more flexibility and features than anything else out there, or that we have seen before."
 
TechPowerUp

Editors Choice - TechPowerUp

"For starters, it is the strongest desktop PSU available on the market and it manages to deliver good voltage regulation on the +12V rail, whose voltage is fully adjustable, registers very high efficiency throughout most load levels, is equipped with a ton of connectors, uses high quality components, and has top-notch build quality."

EVGA GeForce GTX 690 - Back to top

Fudzilla

Recommended - Fudzilla

"Although this is a dual GPU graphics card, we were pleased with overclocking. Reference GPU Base clock is 915MHz, but we used EVGA’s Precision X to boost it +135MHz. We had even more fun with the memory and pushed it from reference 1502MHz to 1752MHz. One thing is for certain, GTX 690 is the best high-end card we’ve had on our test, which makes our award a no-brainer, really."
 
Guru3D

Top Pick - Guru3D

"The sheer amount of performance you gain from the EVGA GeForce GTX 690 is just massive... the raw performance will make a lot of end-users happy – especially the ones that game at uber high-resolutions, multiple-monitors or 3D Stereo admirers."
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature 2 - Back to top

Xbitlabs

Recommended - Xbitlabs

"The GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature 2 features an improved power system and comes with increased GPU and memory clock rates which help it be an average 6-7% faster than the reference GTX 680. The high-efficiency and quiet cooler, numerous accessories and 3-year warranty should also be mentioned among its advantages."
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature - Back to top

Fudzilla

Recommended - Fudzilla

"EVGAs GTX 680 SC Signature is one of the fastest air cooled GTX 680 cards around. Its GPU runs at 1086MHz and the memory at 1552MHz (6208MHz effectively). In comparison, reference clocks for GTX 680 cards are 1006/1502MHz GPU/memory. EVGAs GTX 680 SC Signature card is ready for additional overclocking as well, since it has one 8-pin connector and one 6-pin connector, instead of two 6-pin connectors found on the reference card. There is also an additional phase for PWM regulation."
 
Vortez

Elite + Silver - Vortez

"If you are after a scorchingly fast graphics card that not only looks the part but also built to the very highest standards, all wrapped up in a package that has a service second to none, then you will struggle to find a better card than the EVGA Signature Superclocked."
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 SC - Back to top

OCAHOLIC

Five stars - OCAHOLIC

"The recommendation for this card is quite simple: If you're looking for factory overclocked GTX 680 which is capable of running very silent, then this is the perfect card for you. The EVGA GTX 680 Superclocked gets very good five out of five stars"
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Classified 4GB - Back to top

Hexus

Innovation - Hexus

"EVGA's finest air-cooled example is the Classified 4GB, equipped with a fully-custom PCB, cooler, double-sized framebuffer, a decent dose of overclocking, and potential for hardware-based voltage adjustment. Cool, quiet and eminently fast in the out-of-the-box guise, Classified is a card whose potential can only truly be unlocked by serious enthusiasts; users who dally with the EVBot controller and dial-in obscene voltages while utilising the type of cooling any sane person would find crazy."
 
Guru3D

Recommended - Guru3D

"The end result is a card that performs well, there's not a game out there that it can't deal with. Anno 2070 at the best quality settings and 4xAA pushes near 100 frames per second on average at 1920x1200, and still 60 fps at 2560X1600. In Crysis 2 we end at an average of 66 FPS in 1920x1200 with Ultra quality settings and that high resolution texture package and 4x AA. Battlefield 3 is another example, with all eye candy opened up in game and again at 4xAA the card still pushes 59 FPS at 19x12 and that makes it the amongst the fastest single GPU based graphics card on the market."

Guru3D

Recommended - Guru3D

"Overall the card is just golden for the 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 range in monitor resolution, there's not a game out there that it can't deal with at resolution. Anno 2070 at the best quality settings and 4xAA pushes 79 frames per second on average at 1920x1200, and still 51 fps at 2560X1600."
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW Signature 2 - Back to top

"The Signature 2 cooler delivers a great balance between noise and temperature. The card is cool and almost inaudible when working at factory overclock"
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW - Back to top

Fudzilla

Recommended - Fudzilla

"At the end of the day, it's clear that EVGA's GTX 670 For The Win is in fact a winner. The factory overclock ensured that the card scores really close to the GTX 680, which is quite appealing, especially after considering the difference in price. When buying any graphics card, especially the factory overclocked cards, we usually look at the cooling first. In many cases you'll get higher clocks and improved performance at the expense of silence. This is not the case with EVGA's GTX 670 FTW, which remains silent in pretty much any scenario."
 
HEXUS

PERFORMANCE - HEXUS

"EVGA's GeForce GTX 670 FTW is a rock-solid card that would fit well into almost any high-end build When evaluating in-game frame rate, operating temperature and graphics-card noise, the GeForce GTX 670 performs like a premium GeForce GTX 680."
 

EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti SC - Back to top

Alienbabel

Great Vaule - Alienbabel

"If you are buying a powerful upper-midrange video card right now that is perfect for 1920×1200 resolutions while still being able to handle 2560×1600 as well as being great bang for buck, the EVGA GTX 660 Ti Superclock is an easy choice for only ten dollars more than the reference design. We feel it deserves ABT’s Great Value award since it performs well against competing cards that are currently priced out of its class."
 
Hardware Secrets

Golden - Hardware Secrets

"The GeForce GTX 660 Ti was between 7% and 49% faster than the GeForce 560 Ti, and up to 36% faster than the GeForce GTX 570."
 
Hi-Tech Legion

Editors Choice - Hi-Tech Legion

"The EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti SC is positioned to take over the mainstream gaming market. The EVGA 660 Ti SC combines enthusiast performance at a mainstream price. Mirroring the GTX 670, the 660 Ti is loaded with all of the same core features. The 600 Ti uses the same Kepler GK104 GPU that features 1344 CUDA cores and 7 SMX units. EVGA has overclocked this model, so the core base speed is set to 980MHz making the boost 1059 MHz."
 
Overclockers

Approved - Overclockers

"It has low power consumption and by many measures, gives a thorough beat-down to the competition's HD 7870, occasionally even coming out ahead of the more expensive HD 7950."
 
Guru3D

Recommended - Guru3D

"EVGA has a solid offering with their SC model. The factory clock makes it perform in neighborhood of the GeForce GTX 670. The cooler does what it needs to do, it's silent and keeps the card at roughly 75 Degrees C under full game load. If you need a little extra, there is tweaking room left. With all tweaks applies the product will max out at roughly 1150~1250 MHz based on the boost frequency"

Benchmark Reviews

Golden Tachometer Award - Benchmark Reviews

"EVGA GTX 660 SC's extremely quiet operation is due to Kepler's super-efficient cores that consume less energy and emit less heat than previous designs, earning my confidence that GeForce GTX 660 will continue to impress gamers the same way that GeForce 8800 GT did four years ago."
