this card be the best graphic card i have every own period . it annihilate any game i through at it . even the most GPU intensive game like Metro 2033 , battlefield 3 , Crysis 1 & 2 , & Witcher 2 . and even better it be one of the most quiet card ive own also . I have the 6990 before and it sound like a lawn mower . I can recommend this card to anyone , hand down . sure a 580 slus will beat it by @ 10-20 % more performance in some game . but a what cost $ 1000-1100 for 580 slus . best thing be this card come with warranty that even cover overclocking ! WOW !
