Wow, I was completely blown away by the performance of this card, it blew my old 7600 GS out of the water. Crysis on Very High, 1600×1200, I got 28 fps average on the benchmark! This is a great card for the money. I highly recommend for any hardcore gamer to get this card! Runs all of my games maxed out with no stutters! Buy this card!!!

Huge upgrade from the 256mb ATI card I had. Can only run Crysis at high setting because I have XP and my processor stinks, but before it would only run on low settings. Runs everything else on max settings. Best buy for the money.

Great Video Card. Did a lot of research before purchasing, price for performance value is amazing. Runs almost as fast as an 8800 GTX. Beats 8800 GTS 640, and runs close to gtx. Handles any game to date. Crysis MP/SP Demo DX9- runs solid smooth 30-40fps high settings with zero slow downs, on Q6600, 2GB-pc6400, 1680×1050 resolution. xp If you want a new video card but dont feel like WASTING $ for the gtx, this is THE card.
