I buy this card to prepare myself for battlefield 3 when it come out and I believe that I will be purchase another one to run SLI so that it can make everything that much better . before I purchase this from Newegg , I be use a 460gtx also by evga . only 2 manufacturer make the 560ti card with 2gb VRAM , EVGA and Palit . I trust evga more than palit hence why I purchase this one over the other brand . on to the review ... Card can run most game at high-highest depend on the game . I be able to play battlefield bc2 , civilization v , Aliens vs Predator , and just cause 2 max out . it run cool , it be quiet , have a huge amount of memory , easy to install - hardware wise and software\/driver wise as well , and the 384 core of the gtx560tus vs the 336 of the gtx560 do make a difference when you play game . when I say this card run cool , I mean it really do run cool . in my thermal take armor + case , it run around 28c idle , and a max of 55c under full load . for the money , this be the best bang for you buck right now . you can also overclock this card to go well above and beyond the spec on the box and make it even that much better . just make sure to have adequate cooling for you case\/card . addition note : this card be huge as be the other newer card so make sure you have room in you case for it . I do not have to move anything but I have hear of plenty of other people not be able to fit this card in they mid tower and some in they large tower have to move they hard drive out of the way . this card do take up 2 slot but if you be buy this card , I be sure you already know that . also as a note , my card do not run that hot , do not mean that yours will not . some user have report see higher temperature than what I have post so make sure that you when you be look at you temperature , you be use my temperature as a reference only . with that be say , my house stay at 72f -lrb- 21c -rrb- during the summer\/winter month , computer be in the basement which be usually around 68-70f -lrb- 20c -rrb- .
