this card will run any game at max setting with good frame rate . run very cool under full load . my only problem with it be mine have coil whine that can be very annoying under full load enable vsync help some but for a 550 $ it be very disappointing other than that its a amazing card . after a couple day of use the noise seem to be get worse . Sapphire be a very good graphic card maker it be seem like I have just be unlucky . Update : get a replacement card still have the coil whine but its not nearly as bad as the first one . I be bump the score up to 4 star for now . it really be a amazing card especially if you overclock it . also make sure to use bio 2 it have a much better fan profile . Update : I get a third replacement card do not have the coil whine what so ever very happy . I must have be just very unlucky . update : after a couple week of use I start get terrible artifact in bf3 and unigine heaven 3.0 . I go through every step I could think of try 4 different driver , re-seated the graphic card , uninstalling and reinstall bf3 , clean the pci-e slot with compress air , nothing work . it sadden I because this be such a amazing card while it work but for 450-500 $ product I should not be have all these problem . the other issue I have deal with be coil whine . I have 4 120mm fan and 2 140mm fan run at 100 % and I could still hear it . it be something a 450 + card should not be have issue with . I really like sapphire and amd as a company but enough be enough I be on to a new product . I still give it 2 star cause I be sure some people have have very good experience with this card . last Update : for all people that be have no issue with this card I just want to let you know I have switch to a gtx 680 do not believe all the hype the radeon 7970 be very very close to the same performance the only way you can even tell the 680 be faster be if you run frap . I be really disappointed that this card do not work out for I I really wish it have . for all potential purchaser I would say at 450 $ give this card a shot .
