My Nvidia 9800GT card finally gave out on me so I decided it was time for an upgrade. This card consumes less power than my old one, stays cooler, and works great for both gaming and graphics-intensive design programs. All that at under $250 makes this the perfect upgrade. And just a tip: PCI Express is both backwards and forwards compatible, so this PCI Express 3.0 card will work on older PCs with PCI Express 2.0 slots, for example.

Got it the day I was supposed to and early in the morning! Runs games like a champ and there is NO need for anymore power than this if you use 1 monitor at 1080p. The only flaw I see is that part of the card is blocking me from locking it into place, I mean sure it still fits in the case easily and all but that's still a flaw in my opinion but that's MSI's fault.
So far I have only tested BF3 which is the only demanding game I have atm:
Ultra + MSAA x4 50-60 FPS, avg ~58
Buy this card it is amazing :)

I bought this video card for a new computer build and I cannot be any happier with my purchase. it has performed great on all the following games...Battlefield 3, Black Ops 2, Skyrim, Aliens vs Predators, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2, Boarder Lands 1&2, World of Warcraft and a long list of others. in the long run this card which only costs $229.00 (when I bought it.) is well worth the investment.
