This is an awesome card. I was a little worried because tigerdirect vlog Rated this as a basic card. It’s not basic.

NFS Prostreet: 34 fps @ 52°

NFS Mostwanted 42 fps @ 49°

The Witcher Enhanced Edition 37 fps @ 61°

Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box 38 fps @ 60°

All on max settings. Gonna start Sims 3 soon. Hope it plays it fast.

All temps are in °C.

And it arrived fast. Sooner than Projected by 2 days

It seems from the reviews that I read that the fan has bad bearings- I did not heed this, and decided to buy it regardless. Well needless to say it died- started whining then wouldn’t boot to BIOS. I unplugged the fan and tapped a case fan to the card and it works again! So just be warned about the standard fan- there is a great chance it will go out. FYI, video card fan lasted for less than a month for me, but I threw out the packaging- hence no return, besides I have a workaround!

I bought this card a month or two ago to play Mass Effect and do some solid modeling. It works perfectly and runs smoothly at the highest resolution my monitor supports (1440×900). I don’t know if the card is actually dishwasher safe, but apparently Amazon thinks it might be. I wonder if that’s covered under the warranty. It snapped right in and driver install was simple. Again, I’m not sure how durable it is because I didn’t go dragging it around outside…but it works…still.

Every game is running fine with this card, excellent price, the only thing I would change is that is not SLI, so at some point I’ll change it.
