Performance wise this card be a pretty big upgrade compare to my old Radeon 4870 and consider the power usage be within 1 watt of each other it be the perfect upgrade if you be concern about increase power consumption . with aa off -lrb- I never care for the slight blur it do and the `` jaggy '' have never bother I -rrb- it run skyrim with the new high re texture pack on ultra at 40 + FPS in 1080p . the same go for swtor all setting maxx -lrb- minus aa -rrb- I get between 40 + fp at all time in 1080p . not much else to say it provide a good bump in performance over my 4870 at the same wattage and a good price 5 star .
