with all the new card come out and my 560tus not perform as well as I would like anymore , I steer in the direction of what I think be the best bang for the buck . not a overly expensive card and can now play anything at max on my system . my system be AMD 965be and 8gig of ram . Great Card for MMO 's as well as battlefield 3 . it be unbelievably quiet , and never seem to heat up . Power consumption be minimal . I coould not be happier about this purchase . I think this card be perfect for the market at the moment , anything bigger be really just overkill .
