run every game at max out setting 1080p no problem . I will say this though while play game it be not noticeably faster than a custom 7970 like the Sapphire dual x oc . I have problem with my 7970 and switch . I expect a bigger performance increase due to all the hype do not believe it they be both amazing videocard . if you can grab a aftermarket 7970 for around 450 $ i would not wait for this . unless you run frap the whole time play all you game you will not notice the difference . bf3 , witcher 2 , Metro 2033 , diablo 3 , crysis 2 , be the game I try with it . system : i5 2500k xfx xxx edition 850w PSU Asrock Extreme 3 gen 3 mobo 8gb 1600 corsair vengence ddr3 ram
