The performance is very good, I can play the latest games at the highest or high details fluently. The card came with me without the addition of a game or the like, I have not bought the card from Amazon.
The EVGA card is overclocked from factory forth something, it runs in quiet mode, and needs absolutely a PSU with two times 6-pin power connectors, or via adapters. I have a Tagan 2-Force 480 Watt. Thus, the card works brilliantly.
Mitlerweile there are powerful and / or more favorable than the 9800 GTX cards (eg. 9800 GTX + or GTX 260 [New Version!], Or AMD HD 4870), I regret the purchase, however, not a minute.
The quality is just right!
