I purchase this card to replace a 2-yr old 8600gt . I expect it to be faster due to the larger 1gb -lrb- vice my 256mb -rrb- memory but it turn out it be roughly 15-25 % slower . after do some further research , I believe it be due to the smaller 64-bit datum channel -lrb- vice the 128 bit I currently have -rrb- . so gaming be not that great with it . it be do fine in display a dual monitor setup though but that be about it . Windows experience index give it a 4.8 . my old card come in at 5.8 . recommend get something with a 128-bit datum channel or spend the extra dough and get a ddr5 card . thanks for reading .
