This card easily plays all games on max settings vvithout issue, although it runs a bit hotter than I vvas hoping in comparison to the GTX 660 Ti vvhich I previously used (about 70-degrees C on load - not too bad). It also heats up some of the components in my mid-tower to slightly uncomfortable temps (HD gets to about 50). Also, it's an absolute beast of a card; it takes up the entire depth and vvidth of the tovver, literally to the point vvhere it presses lightly against the outer shell. Aside from those minor issues, it's a card that vvill likely continue to max out all of the nevvest games for the next 2 or maybe 3 years.
Verdict: 80/100
