I bought this card in February, and have been usign it for a month now. I play CoD4 in 1680x1050 with all settings maxed, and it runs very smoothly. A great card for the price; perfect for running current-gen games at great settings. Just don't expect it to run Crysis at very high!

I ordered this card during the valentines sale... just couldn't resist the price. To my amazement, it showed up at my door (in ontario) within 3 business days even though i only got the ground shipping. (Thx NCIX!!)

I'm not going into detail about all the features this card has, just go look up some benchies and see for yourself that this card is a great value. I am playing 2 of the newest games in beta (AOC and Warhammer online) and this card handles them no problem. I get 60+ FPS in AOC which is quite a demanding game with gorgeous graphics. I have a decent OC on this baby and it is running great so far.
