This card is an excellent graphics card for the money, it's basically a 'cheap' stripped down Kepler card.
I have found that it's possible with this card to get 60 frames per second at 1080p resolution in the following games at *very* near maximum settings: Battlefield 3, Hitman Absolution, Tomb Raider, BioShock Infinite, Batman Arkham City.
You can spam out your football games like PES and FIFA so 1080p 60 frames per second at the max settings with this card.
And if you're willing to drop all the way down to 720p, which on some HDTVs doesn't make all that much visual difference for what that's worth, you will get 60 frames per second on high settings with the following games: Splinter Cell Blacklist, Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, Metro Last Light, Alan Wake.
For me this card is phenomenal value and was a nice upgrade from the card I had previously. It's an ideal card for those on a tight budget or those who aren't that bothered and are willing to play at 720p if need be etc.
***UPDATE***
I've had this card for about 4-6 months now, and there's 2 things I want to make mention of. Number 1 is that some games can be unstable with this card at stock (Alan Wake and Bioshock Infinite both crash my system) however I have noticed that underclocking the card by 143mhz with MSI Afterburner in my case fixes the stability issues totally. I am not knocking a star off for this because the way I review my items is Amazon equates 5 stars as loving the item not flawless perfection, there's a big differenece! But I state the pros and cons in the body of my review leaving it up to you the reader to decide for yourself.
The other thing I want to mention is that one thing I've noticed is 30 frames per second on a 60 hz display introduces judder and traces of control lag whereas 60 frames per second on a 60 hz display is effortlessly super fluid in motion and supremely responsive! It really is night and day.
So then final conclusion, for the money I still rate this 5 stars as I loved it and it served me well and still does, but I will be upgrading shortly. Not because the card is bad, it's not at all, it's just I want 1080p at 60 frames per second in all my games and I'm willing to pay a bit more for it.
