in a nutshell , this card be awesome ! Easy to install , although as other poster have say , it be a huge card and will not fit in slim case . run slightly warm -lrb- 62 Celsius , after 1 hour in black op with Ultra setting -rrb- on my pc -lrb- HP p7-1010 -rrb- since they design the board to have the cpu under the video card which sit directly under the psu . get over 140fp in 3dmark06 with setting maxx and a 15,346 score . have not be able to get this card to skip or stutter on any game I throw at it . run all game at native 1080p -lrb- 1920x1080 -rrb- @ 60hz with max\/ultra\/da bomb setting Alice : Madness Returns Battlefield 3 BattleForge call of Duty : Black Ops Dead Island Deus ex : human evolution gattle Gears Hard Reset Starcraft II and MANY more , although they be pretty old so say they run great at max setting be not really say much for this card and blu-ray movie look amazing , almost 3d without the glass . note : this card can not be unlock . when I try unlock the 6970 shader it give I a gpuid mismatch error . the fix do not seem to work either , it flash the rom , but upon reboot it be still a 6950
