After tons of research, found a great card,
I spent several hours researching video cards. I was undecided between an nvidia 670 or this card. I chose this because of their dual fan and their thermal solution. I finally got my product and I just tested it playing several games, but I was mostly concerned with Skyri, Diablo III and the The Witcher 2. I can tell that I was able to max out my resolution for all 3 games, and only The witcher was the only game that tested this card to the limit because the fans started to kick in when I had graphic-intense details on the texture of the game. I highly recommend this card, although I noticed (as the other reviewer), that the card starts getting noisier when pushing it to the limit. I also found out that there is another BIOS driver for the card released late April ’12 that optimizes the cards performance allowing you to have a quieter response for your fans.

|Blows everything out of the water.,
Bought this card a little over a month ago, and it has surpassed all expectations I had for it. Instead of boring you with personal opinions, I’ll just post my benchmarks, all of which are at 1920X1080p
Skyrim on Ultra: 60-70 fps
Starcraft 2 on ultra: 120-130 fps
DayZ mod for Arma II on highest settings: 60 fps, drops to 45 fps around big towns (cherno & elektro), but not sure if issue with game or card.
Dead Space 1 & 2 ultra: 60+ fps
Fallout New Vegas ultra: 60-90 fps
Battlefield 3 Ultra: 60fps
I Overclocked the gpu for the first week, but decided against it when i realized how overkill the standard model already was. For those who do though, the catalyst control center is easy to use, and the card has lots of room for overclocking.
The temp on max load runs around 70-75 degrees, but you can manually set the fan to cool it more if you would like. The fan is loud at over 60%, but I can’t hear it with my headset on which is the only way I play games.
Installation was easy, just had to press it into the pci slot and attach two six pin connectors. I do wish they had more regular HDMI slots though, two of them are mini HDMI ports so I had to buy chords for my second and third monitor.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend this card enough. At $309 w/rebate this card gave me what I wanted in a high end card for fairly cheap. It’s a smidge behind a 580 in terms of performance and overclocked it surpasses it. This type of quality in a video card for this cheap is remarkable.

Great card, if you want more power, better go for the Nvidia gtx680, If you don`t have enough money, better buy this video card. The AMD 7900 series cards have more power for work in design than the GTX680, that is focused for gaming performance.
