Well this could just be hardware trouble I'm having (in fact, based on what I've read about other people's experience with this card, it probably is), but I've had a great deal of trouble with the card's clock speed changing all the time. It's supposed to stay at 300 (core), 900 (mem) during 2D mode, and then bump up to 500/900 in 3D mode. Even with the latest nVidia build, however, the clock speeds are all over the place. I'll be playing Doom 3 and the card will just randomly drop to 100/500, then skip to 300/500, then back to 100/500. Sometimes it will run just fine for hours at 500/900, only to return to 2D mode at 100/500 and never bump back to 500 core.
It's really a quite bizarre problem, and I'm pretty sure it's not a driver issue, but I'm posting it here in case anybody else has the same problem we can track it down.

This card worked with no problem. Downloaded the nvidia drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp) to disk before installing the card and setup went without a hitch. Big fps jump from my old FX5200.
This card has it's own separate power plug, so make sure you have a free molex connector from the PS

stuck it in, keeped the drivers from my geforce 5200 and it works great
when i first installed it i had a few problem with X crashing a few minutes into a game and logging really weird errors, then it all seemed to go away when i installed a blower in the slot next to it (btw my case has always been well cooled), so it may be slightly sensitive to heat or it could have been a driver, but that was months ago
also ever since nvidia's driver has had the overclock option i have had this card overclocked, i run 2d @ 400/1040 and 3d @550/1040 and have never had any problems with it

Wow,
I buy this card because my ATI drivers for my Radeon 9000 Pro wasent working and my games (CS,bf1942,DoD) didint work with WineX.
It take me about 10 minutes to setup the nvidia ard get openGL and my dual head.
About 90 FPS in Counter-strike , 70FPS in BF1942 and around 3500FPS in glxgears)

No problems after installing drivers from nvidia. Works well and quite fast.
