I recently build my computer from the ground up . I run my game -lrb- company of hero , Skyrim , mw3 -rrb- on maxed-out graphic , the card will overheat unless you have additional fan -lrb- I use cheap coolmaster blue led 's -rrb- and manually set the fan to around 70 % . -lrb- 100 % if you do not have additional fan -rrb- . the only time I have notice this Vidio card can not keep up -lrb- run max out -rrb- be in the tunnel in Skyrim , the screen tear . I will eventually run SLI , that be the main reason why I purcase this 2gb version . EVGA have very nice tool for overclocking , change fan speed , and testing . these tool come with the card . I be very happy with this card i7 2600k Corsair 750w PSU dual DVI monitor
