Choose this card over the 5870 because it was cheaper and I am able to overclock this card to reach the speeds of the 5870. I haven't done it yet cause I don't need to overclock this card yet.
I bought this to replace the discontinued MSI model. The product is great and powerful. It is the most cost effective video card at around $300.

Bought this for my first desktop. It's cheaper compare to other brands. Package is ok, not big fan of the sticker though. Comes with free game which is nice.Doesn't have HDTV port,comes with connector.My mobo comes with DOATested on my friend's machine,no problem running cycsis. Really good choice for now.

I am very pleased with this card so far. It is great to be able to max out the settings on my games again. Dirt 2, which was an unsuspected surprise free coupon that came with the card, look amazing in all of its DirectX11 glory.

Upgraded from a 8800GT...the thing plays the latest games at 1920x1200 with high settings without any problems (paired with an i7 860). The fan is much quieter than the 8800GT (under load and not). It also has super-low power consumption when not gaming.
Upgraded from 8800 GTX to this and i can say this was a big jump for me. Also the 8800 GTX consumes alot of power, which this consumes less then 8800 gtx. Save power! = money.

Destroys everything I have thrown at it in games. Truely Awesome 1920x1080 max setting experience. I have not used the 3 monitor technology but I cant wait to try. Future Proof card with DX11.

Just upgrade from a Palit HD4870 and it make a big difference in my gaming experience. STALKER Clear sky look amasing with this card. Nice frame rate with most of the game. I would certainly buy again.
