Thanks man for that

Worried I was out there by myself.


EVGA has some sick quality mixed with aesthetics. I wanted to go nVidia for so long, just cause their cards are sick looking as hell. And their warranty program is unsurpassed.
(edit: but I am a DAAMIT guy)
Unfortunately of the green team members that made the jump, only XFX really banged it with the black PCB IIRC. (I mean on a budget board.. ASUS I think has cards at like +50% cost over value with black pcb). Now I am a ghetto bencher so looks do not matter for my perf rig... but I like to build sweet lookign rigs, hell look at that MSI 790FX board... pure sex on silicone. Performance wise? Actually Asus managed (by a small percentage) on that one (somehow) not by loosening PL values thats for sure.. those fuckers screwed me on 775).. followed by MSI (remember their 7900GT disaster?) and Gigabyte.. (remember anything by them? No? Me neither...). Last was DFI... but in their defense.. Wong went to Abit and made them a name... that also failed in the quality department.

Yup.... I might be able to squeeze a little more out of it though, but not much.

The DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 actually has a better BIOS than the Classy I think. Better RAM options too. The only thing wrong with it is the 21 mult issue with Windows 7.
