Upgraded to this from my Msi GTX 770 lightning, This card is very fast playing Titanfall on insane settings at 1080p and never drops below 60fps. Also a big improvement in my heavily modded skyrim (thanks in large to the 4gb vram) and better Farcry 3 performance.

Already factory overclocked to 1000mhz on the core, i have it stable with a little extra boost of 1150mhz.

I did however consider removing a point due to when i installed the card it made an horrendous amount of noise, due to a wire under one of the fans being caught while spinning, resulting in me removing the fan shroud to move the wire out of the way!

Also even though its supposed to be 3x quieter than a reference model it can still get pretty noisy, but then i never did hear a stock 290.

Still for price vs performance this is a great card and i would highly recommend it.

When you consider this card is actually cheaper than some reference cards its incredible value. Performance is strong in all games. Crysis 3 is incredible to look at and just makes you realise how much the next gen consoles are already lagging behind gaming PC's. Running under load the fans do get audible but if you are wearing headphones or have the volume up on your speakers you are never going to notice. Still far quieter and cooler than the reference design.

Never Installed my own graphics card before and had a few issues with drivers but that was my own fault for not reading up how to change graphics cards! (Do your research if this your first installation) Card is up and running now and its amazing! No problems at all, keeps itself cool and not even a drop in FPS on Watch Dogs with Full Graphics! Great price and great quality!

This is a great video card. The price is somewhat steep since it is relatively new. My only issue with the card was its length. My existing case did not have enough clearance for it, so I had to get a new case as well. The card itself is fantastic, I have had no issues. Using the current v 14 Radeon drivers and it is very smooth. I am a happy camper.

Powerful, Fast, Beastly and destroys anything you throw at it.

Although I had a few faulty cards, Amazon pulled through and delivered one that could easily meet its potential. There is no need to Overclock this card, despite what people may say, this card is perfectly fine as-is and will chew through anything you throw at it. There is very little overhead to clock the card anyway, as ASUS have squeezed just about all of it's potential.

Just one thing, this card uses ELPIDA memory, to the average user, this doesn't mean much, but essentially Elpida RAM is generally not as well built as Hynix.

Other than that, I am very happy with this card. If you are looking for a Powerful rig, buddy this up with an i5 or i7 and you will be away, with games cranked up to full settings and still having plenty of Dedicated VRAM for other GPU intensive operations.

An excellent card giving excellent performance. It only narrowly missed a 5 star rating due to the fact that one of the cooling fans was obstructed by badly positioned wiring. This was quickly cured by removing the fan shroud and gently repositioning the wiring. Now runs silently! It 's pity that Asus quality control failed to pick this minor fault up prior to export.

If you want to play the lastest games on full settings such as TitanFall or Cysis 3 and target 60fps then this card will do it for you. Just make sure you have a decent CPU so you don't bottleneck it. An FX 8350 or i5 4770k will be enough. Really happy with this card and it will also fully support DirectX12 and Mantle - future proof.
