This card has been good and I'm impressed with the speed. I play at 1600x900. In terms of the feeling I have for the stability, I'd say it's pretty good but doesn't leave me knowing this is a flawless product. Some games I've played have had strange graphical anomalies but otherwise it has been good. I'm not sure another card from this range would be without these anomalies, I'd assume or hope so, but not 100% sure. I may not buy another product like this from Gigabyte again because of this problem, but I'm at least happy with what this Nvidia part has provided.
I bought this card to provide my brother's system with something that can play some older games like Bioshock and Prototype *x-mas present).. for $105 after rebate, this is a solid card.. considering it also features downloads of Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2, these are another two games that my bro may like to play using this card!
Overall, its an amazing card, but my personally fried after 5 days of receiving it. BUT the customer service is AMAZING and they were very informative, and I'll have my replacement of this card sometime around xmas, in the mean time i have a gt 430 in as a backup, also very good card, but i cant wait to get this one back in!!!

The card is exactly what I needed as I did not want to spend too much upgrading an old machine.. It is great for playing most games and is way more quiet then my 8800 GTX I am replacing.

Bought this card for my daughter's system (AM3). She plays on a 22 inches monitor so this card is more than adequate for her needs. Upgraded from a 7900GT because she is beginning to play more demanding and recent games (shooters, simulation and racing). She loves it and so does dad; plus i got Dungeon Siege 3. : ). For the price this is the way to go for such a system.
