I really didn't expect to get the performance I've gotten out of this card. I've yet to find a game I can't run comfortably on high settings (not necessarily the highest, but frankly I don't notice a difference between 4x AA and 8x AA anyways). But you might want to keep in mind that the fan is HUGE and uncovered, so you might have to do some tidying in the computer case to make sure there aren't any cords that might get stuck in the fan. That actually happened to me, it overheated and crashed, but kept working just fine after I unblocked the fan. Definitely worth the money.

Well worth the money, October 1, 2009

I bought this card as soon as it was released and it took awhile to get but it was worth the wait.
I've used Visiontek before and they seem to make a well built card from a very good company.
The next-gen cards are out now and I'll soon be up-grading (for more memory and speed) and this
card will be going into my girlfriend's machine. As I said before, the card is well made,it runs
cool and is very quiet. It was money well spent.
