when I first buy this graphic card , I originally buy it from Amazon but they send I a bad product so I have to re-order from NewEGG . thanks for that btw , Amazon . since get this card to replace my aging gtx 560 ti -lrb- ftw -rrb- , I have be most pleased with its performance . the 560 ti could not run most game at 720p on high setting . at would lag and frame rate would drop dramatically . the gtx 670 FTW Edition smoke the 5 series card . with over 1,300 core and 2 gb of memory , you will not need another video card for year . hell , by the time this card be outdate , you could just get a second one and you have enough power to last for 2 more year and only spend half what you do prior . I highly recommend spending big on you first real video card . I get this one for 400 usd but I also get a good deal from newegg because I receive coupon for free copy of assassin creed 3 and Borderlands 2 . Performance be off the cart . the temperature be steady and when you use EVGA precision x to control the fan speed automatically , you never have to worry about the temperature rise above 120 degree fahrenheit . plus , it be quiet . it will not disturb you while play the more non-intensive game like turn base Strategy . there be only one downside to this card and I do not count it against it at all really . the card be large in size so you must have a larger style , or FULL size tower case to fit this thing . also keep in mind that it require two 6-pin connector from one of you power supply rail . Make sure you have a minimum of 750 watt of power available to you . the newer power supplies should have no problem support two of these baby . I 'll see you all on the digital battlefield !
