This card is awesome for the money. It has handled every game I have thrown its way and it didn't even break a sweat. I would highly recommend this card to anyone who wants good graphics but can not afford a high end card.

Aswome card, runs everything on the max settings on a 1280x1024 screeb resolution. I did need to use the coolbits overclock on it and chose the auto overclock. The card is ammazing and worth every penny. I have thrown every game I have at it and nothing has lagged yet after the very slight overclock. great card.
