The difference it instantly made for my computer just blows me away.My advice? Do not hesitate! GET THIS CARD IMMEDIATELY!!!If you're looking for a great graphics card at a decent price, you've finally found the one!

Switching over from gaming on an iMac computer for 6 years to a new PC, this graphics card is incredible and especially great for the price. I can run just about all the games I own at a stable 60 fps on ultra settings. The others, such as Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Planetside 2, and Hawken will run at between 30-60 fps on ultra settings, so turning down the settings a bit never hurts. The only problems I've run into was when playing the game StarMade. For some reason, no matter what I do, StarMade runs real slow, even on the lowest settings. With the lowest settings, the most I'll get is 20 fps. StarMade is not as graphically intensive as games such as Planetside 2 or even TF2, at least not to my eyes. So either it's a problem with the game or my computer in general, probably my computer.Here are my specs followed by how well I run various games:OS: Windows 8.1 64-bitCPU: AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core Processor (3.8GHz)Memory: 8GB RAMGPU: This graphics cardI play most games full screen 1080p.Team Fortress 2: Stable 60fps with v-sync, 60-100fps without.Sanctum 2: 40-60fps on highest settingsRust: If looking in an area where there is not much going on, 60fps with v-sync on highest settings. Looking in places where there is more going on, 30-50fps with v-sync on highest settings.Hawken: 60fps on highest settings. 40-60fps on certain maps.Garry's Mod: Stable 60fps with v-sync, 60-120fps without.War Thunder: 50-60fps on ultra settings. 30fps on movie settings.Chivalry Medieval Warfare: 40-60fps on highest settings. May differ on certain maps.The Stanley Parable: 80-120fps on highest settingsStar Wars The Old Republic: 50-60fps on highest settings.Minecraft: 40-80fps on best settings. With Optifine installed I tend to get 70-200 fps on best settings.One problem I've had with this graphics card is that it takes up two expansion slots on the back of my computer. The other slot it needed to take up was already occupied by my network card. So I had to take that out in order to install the graphics card, but I ended up getting a USB Netgear device to be able to connect to the internet, so it worked out fine.The other problem, which is a nuisance to others but not to me as much, is it is a bit loud but not loud enough to annoy me.Finally, the only real complaint I have is that Amazon states that you'll receive "$150 of In-Game Currency with Select GeForce GTX Graphics Cards" for the games Warface, Heroes of Newerth, and Path of Exile. However, after purchasing this graphics card and receiving the code to get the in-game currency, I was sent to a link for a totally different set of games. I forget which three games they were, but they were definitely not Warface, Heroes of Newerth, or Path of Exile, and it was to unlock $75 of in-game currency, not $150. All I had to do was contact NVIDIA for support, and they gave me the proper codes for the three correct games in order to unlock $150 of in-game currency. It was solved in the end, but it was annoying that it happened. I lost interest in all three games after a bit however, so it wasn't worth it for me.All in all, it's a great graphics card. If you're looking to being able to play any game at 60fps on the highest settings, you may want to find a better one than this, but simply turning down the settings of any game can still help you to get smooth performance.
