It's a good card and runs games great. My only complaints are it can get loud at times even with the lowest fan profile. It can also be pretty hot and heat up my room. However, it does much better heat and noise wise than my old 760.

A pretty good card for it's price and size.  Make sure you have a system fan installed before using because this card is hot.  As for performance goes, it is the best card I own.  I was able to played advancx2ed warfare at max setting with MSAA 1x2 sampling.  BF4 runs at max with MSAA 4x.  That is quite remarkable given I only have a pentium G 2030(unclocked) running with this card.

If you can get it for the right price - this card delivers very good bang for the buck. My kids can run most games on High settings and while it does not punch through the Ultra settings - for the cost it really pulls through.

This is a great card for multitasking, but it's outdated now for video games. Granted, it's not that bad. If you don't mind some inconsistent frames, you can play most any game today on high or ultra, given the game's own stability architecture and compatibility with the processor. For example, this card does not agree with No Man's Sky. That's mainly the developer's fault, though. You can still run the game on high, but the frames are inconsistent. I can run GTA 5 on Ultra with 53-100 frames; granted, that's probably the most well optimized game ever made. Battlefield One runs well on Ultra, with some frame jumps and slowdown when there are a lot of particle effects on screen. I have a GTX 1060 6GB, and that should be enough to handle BF1, so the processor is certainly the bottleneck.

Don't let someone tell you the Intel i5 is better. This processor is way faster, (20%, from independent figures). The only tradeoff is it produces a lot of heat. I've been told the energy cost is too high, but 400 watts across my whole PC is far from a big energy drain. Temperatures with a nicely ventilated case and a standard Coolmax fan stabilize on high performance, not overclocked, just below the processor/MB's shutoff point at times. But I've had no problems with it, no damage or anything, even keeping the PC at those temps for hours on end. Just from my own precaution, I wouldn't let the processor get that hot unattended. We're talking in the neighborhood of 150-180 degrees Fahrenheit. It idles at between 80 and 100 degrees, which isn't bad.

This card performs pretty good, even for most of the lastest games at least the ones I tried (Batman, Xmen: wolverines revenge, Dragon age: Origins, Bioshock 2 and some more) I was able to play at 1920 x 1080 with decent frame rates and medium - High detail settings. I was planning on upgrading but not yet, one day I booted up my computer and I saw lots of artifacts on my screen and I though it was my ram, but it wasn't it was my Video Card.

It was good while it lasted, which was about.... 14 months...

Aside from the small matter of there being only 3.6GB of VRAM available for use instead of the claimed 4GB this is a great card. I can play Rise of Tomb Raider in 4K with high detail. Runs 3 monitors at once on my desktop without a hitch and seems to work OK with Vegas Pro 13 for rendering acceleration. I like having three display port connectors.

Picked this up for a brand new computer build. I previously bought another 970 GTX, also from EVGA although if I remember right it is the FTW version.

Overall it is a great card for anyone looking to get higher end games running crisp and smooth. The card performs well with pretty much any title out at the moment ( late 2015 - early 2016), and the 4G of RAM is a huge plus if you are into any memory heavy tasks. It is a very big card, so if you haven't built a PC in a while or are new to the game, make sure that it will fit in the case. Powered off of two 6-pin connectors, make sure the PSU has the juice to handle it as well.

The fans are interesting. From prior experience I knew that the fans would not start until the card got very hot under the base settings. Unless you manually adjust the fan speeds via PrecisionX, the card will get into the 70 Celsius range before the fans start to wind up. Don't panic, this is normal. If this bothers you, or you plan on playing a lot of games then I would recommend manually changing the thresholds for the speeds. However, for very light use this keeps the noise down a lot, and with good case cooling the temp will not creep up too much.

Cons: I had some issues with the rebate when i bought it.

Pros: Does its job. I use it for gaming mainly. Play league of legends all in high at 60 fps. Also have company of heroes , sniper:ghost warrior (2010) and need for speed most wanted (2010) and I can run them all with all settings hight. This GPU does its job quite well

No longer a cutting edge card, it still handles all of the gaming challenges I throw at it. As a frugal gamer, I usually am behind the curve on upgrading my gaming rig, but lets face it, most of the games you would play don't need more than 2GB of RAM, it is really the GPU clock speed you want and the GTX series from any manufacturer is a good bet. This thing give me a pretty good frame-rate using the Morrowind Graphics Overhaul and that mod is a beast. I am happy.

You can get an ATI 9550 and the gameplay is fine.  You can find one of these cards for $100 or less now.

Strong card, can handle most games and video software on high rendering levels. Duel cards can be touchy though, some games don't take to well to crossfirex. When they do its amazing but when they don't just turn one card off and the game will work fine. Example:
-Overwatch will freeze on duel but works fine on one.
-Tom Clancy: Siege doesn't support crossfire.
-other games will handle very well and pull over 100 fps

This is a nice card. Ive had it for a year now. Installed in a computer i built in 2009. Brought new life to my computer. I already had Nvida Gforce
Experience software installed so i didn't need the provided software. Last week i installed the Faspeed 250gb SSD and its better now than the day i built it. Warcraft 50/60fps on ultra.

Has good performance and games work well with the gtx 960m

We had an old Dell 2400 that only have motherboard graphics, so it couldn't play some of the games my kids wanted to play.  I got this card that really helped. It certainly has it's limits being PCI and not PCI-e but if you don't have a slot and want some improvement, it's something to consider.

This card is great for the price. Plays Almost every game on high/ultra no issues. Shipping was quick, and was packed right. Had no issues with this product

Runs all the current games I have very well, including GTA 4, The Witcher 2, Portal 2, and so on. Doesn't need an uuber power supply as you can see by my specs. Runs at about 54c under highest stress I can put it through in a Gateway DX system. Fan noise is somewhat noticable, but barely. I was a bit nervous about replacing my power supply, and this card is about as good as it gets for this situation. Works great. Easy install other than Gateway thinking it was a good idea to tack weld the PCI slot covers on. XD Have had it for over a month now without problems. *Knocks on wood*

My Specs:

Intel Core i5 (2nd Gen) 3.0-3.3GHz.
8GB DDR3 RAM
1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD - Win7-x64 Home Premium
Asus ATI Radeon HD 6670.
300 watt Lite-on power supply.

This card is working really well for me, running a lot cooler than my old card and its really quiet.  It has upgraded my system to the best it can be and I'm expecting my rig to last me another couple of years before I'll need to look at replacing the whole system.  I'm not pushing this to its extreme and we haven't hit summer yet, but so far its doing really well.
