I be a avid gamer , and enjoy play computer game on the maximum setting possible , for as long as possible . for I , the 560 Ti have be able to run everything I throw at it , and everything default at maximum setting . I have only get slight fp drop when play Skyrim -lrb- usually it be amazing , except during rare instance inside cave -rrb- , and even then , it be not very noticeable . my only vice with this card be that there be only one mini-hdmi output ; if you have a single monitor , this be absolutely no issue , but if you be run multiple monitor ... well , it still be not a issue , just a slight annoyance : -rrb- I have my primary monitor hook up to the Mini-HDMI , and the secondary to one of the DVI slot , and both monitor still look great ! in short , do not spend a penny less , and do not spend a penny more . this be what you need if you plan on gaming , and it will last you a while . a long while .
