Looks awesome, great features
Just as above this thing looks awesome, stays super cool, and performs pretty good. Use AMD catalyst drives with msi afterburner OC software for best results.

a must have
My title says most of it. If you're a gamer like myself this is a card you should consider for your build. It will easily run WoW, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and quite a few other games on max settings and still have room to play with. The fans on the card run extremely quiet and unless you're listening for the sound you won't hear them at all. excellent part and well worth the price.

This card is wicked
I upgraded from a 6570 which was ok, but this thing absolutely blows it out of the water. Keep in mind this card is huge, I had to modify my cabinet just to make this thing it. The card runs cool, is very quiet and I'm running Dead Island full blast without a hiccup.

No Issues. I play my games without worries
Price and value is what made me pull the trigger on this. I had to stick to my budget. I think it is a great card. Crysis (original) and crysis 2 run great. What else can I ask for.
