order this card 22 March - and have to place a order on a `` out of stock '' item - not really know when it would ship . I recieve notification the next day that it have ship and recieve it today , 24 March . it be pack well and install in minute . this card be a improvment for I , come from a gtx 570 hd , and on game like bf3 and sw : tor the difference in FPS be noticable . now , I be not say I \* need \* this card at all - it be really overkill - but I be a upgrade nut and this be something to scratch that itch . I know that the difference between AMD\/ATI 's new offering -lrb- particularly the 7970 -rrb- be minor when it come to benchmark - but something that Nvidia have always have a advantage over the Radeon line of card be in the stability and the frequency of they driver and update . this be a rock solid card from a rock solid company and I be happy that Amazon.com be able to get I the card so quickly when everybody else seem to out of stock .
