I buy this card a few month ago to replace my very-much aging Radeon 4890 . this be my first nVidia card since my GeForce 5700 Ultra , and I do not regret it . it provide most of what the gtx 680 offer , but at a savings of a few hundred dollar -lrb- at the time I purchase -rrb- . this edition come overclock from the factory and come with 4 gb of VRAM , make this gap even smaller performance-wise . the large amount of VRAM also help future-proof the card , as I intend to keep this card for a few year at least . so far it be easily handle anything I have throw at it , and I have no complaint . it be possible to max out the anti-aliasing and throw a few additional monitor on you computer to see some impact in performance , of course , but for a single video card setup I think it scale very well . I can not speak to the slus performance . I have no reason to believe it do not work well . I use this card in Windows 8 . no issue as of yet . the latest driver -lrb- and beta driver -rrb- support 8 fully . let I know if anyone have any question and I would be glad to answer if I can . some spec : Intel Core i7 IB 3770K -lrb- run at stock 3.5-3 .9 ghz -rrb- 8 gb ddr3 RAM 120 GB SSD , 128 gb ssd , 1 gb hdd , 2 gb hdd Windows 8 pro n
