... but can actually have issue play older game . let I explain . on newer game that stress the card , this thing be amazing . framerate be high and they stay there . everything be silky smooth and it look amazing . that be the intent of this card , to be use for newer game and as yet unreleased game on into the future , but a lot of we like to go back and play we old game as well and that be where this card can have very minor issue . for some reason , the power usage on this card when it come to old game can be a little too conservative . when play wow or portal 2 for example , the card almost seem to say `` this be a older game so I be just go to phone it in for a while '' and run at between half and 75 % of it be max clock speed . at those speed it be USUALLY -lrb- as in 99 % of the time -rrb- enough to keep the framerate right where you want they , but if anything sudden happen the fp can drop into the mid 40 on game that should always be lock at 60 + . I be sure this be just a software issue and will be fix in subsequent driver update , but it be not something I be aware of go in . and yes , I have do my research and have mess with setting but there be no option to increase the minimum clock , just the maximum clock . I upgrade to this from a gtx 580 3gb and on older game my 580 actually perform slightly better -lrb- technically speak -rrb- with consistently higher framerate . to do that it use a lot more power , create a lot more heat , and be a lot noisier but I kind of expect that out of a cut edge video card . this thing be whisper quiet , create very little heat and sip power but I would trade some of that for a option to keep my card constantly operate at a certain level so my fp would never drop . one really cool new addition to help with this be adaptive vsync , which do make all my gripe barely noticeable . I have switch to it instead of run normal vsync with triple buffering , and I must say that I prefer it . my game seem more responsive and even if the fp drop into the mid 40s it be not as jarring as when it happen with the normal vsync . all my older game do seem smoother with this setting enable -lrb- despite they technically lower framerate -rrb- and I recommend give it a try . as far as overclocking go , I use precision x and it work as advertise . these new Kepler card overclock differently than 400 or 500 series card , and instead of set the clock speed you instead increase the offset which increase how high the card can go when it need to . I have not really push it too hard , but I be currently run the GPU clock +140 mhz and the memory clock +450 mhz with a power target of 120 % and it do very well when stress . I be still give this 5 star because I know that the very , very minor gripe I have will be fix with driver update and this card be amazing when the clock speed go up . if you be in the market , you will not find a better card than this at a similar pricepoint .
