Compre esta tarjeta ya hace varios meses, fue bastante cumplidora en relacion a los juegos, aunque con un par de juegos me salia el famoso error de artifacts y rayas rojas, tuve que bajarle las frecuencias de memoria para lograr estabilidad. pero por otra parte es una excelente tarjeta y las temperaturas son muy bajas en relacion a otras tarjetas por ejemplo mi gtx 260 actual.

Buy this card because several months ago, was fairly abiding in relation to the games, though with a couple of games left on me famous error of Artifacts and red stripes, I had to lower the frequency of memory to achieve stability. but on the other hand is an excellent card and the temperatures are very low in relation to other cards such as my current GTx 260.

Ok, I bought this card because I heard a good ammount of rumors saying that this card was better than the 8800 GTS (640mb). Well, I owned a GTS SC, so I was intrigued. Good news, the rumors are %100 true. This card is running about 10 degrees C cooler than my GTS, and I have gained an average of 5 to 10 FPS in all games. No more jaggies in Oblivion (max settings)I have even noticed an improvement in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC. I still have not tried this card with crysis, but hopefully it will do well. All in all, this card is amazing, simple as that. It is afforable, wickedly fast, and runs cool.

My system setup is two GB of corsair RAM, Seagate 320gb hd, ASUS mobo. AMD fx-60, XFX 8800gt, all in an Antec 900 case. I soon hope to be upgrading but first im gonna buy another one of these cards!
