This is the kind of card you get if you want to watch movies from your computer and occasionally play simple games. This card is the type I used in my "Living Room Computer." The computer is used to watch netflix, hulu, and occasionally we'll play some of those little flash games on it. It will not be able to handle serious games like Battlefield 4, Skyrim, etc, but you could probably play things like Counter-Strike, Castle Crashers, and most games that have been out for a few years and aren't graphics monsters. For everyday computing, it is great, but you'll have to bump up a few notches if you want to be able to handle serious games.

Disclaimer: I am not a hardcore gamer. This card can handle its own on most games with medium settings. As a daily performer the card is solid. I have had no problems with a dual monitor setup. My favorite thing about the card, which I guess speaks more to Nvidia as a whole than it does the card, is the rate at which new drivers are released for the card. Kudos to them for that. If you keep in mind that you get what you pay for and don't expect to do any hardcore gaming on it than I think this card is a good buy. Runs quiet and cool.

The GeForce GT 620 is a mid range video card. Benchmark data can be found here: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/mid_range_gpus.html

I ran it with a 300w and it ran fine. However, for the price, there are better cards you can get, like the 7750 and 7770 that aren't very expensive, but perform very well.

Yes, I think the previous user response about RAM is important too. I have this card and easily get 70-75fps consistently. If you buy this card you should be set for some time...

I play Battlefield 4 and Guild Wars 2. Both keep a smooth steady 60fps. It would probably be higher if my system was a little beefier. I have an AMD940 with ddr2 ram. I don't overclock, and it always stays a tad below 70c under load. My machine gets a little loud when everything is running at full speed, but Im not sure if I can hear the GPU fan above the power supply and CPU fan which will speed up under load. I think its a great card for the money.

I use the Asus R290X DirectCU II card. Yes it was $600 but with Mantel enabled it runs BF4 on Ultra at 1440p with no problems at all online with 64 player servers. Not to mention the same brand card that Asus makes for the GTX 780Ti is about $100 or so more. I'm very happy with the graphics card though, it runs very cool with the Asus DirectCU and has no throttling at all. Its quiet as heck in the Uber mode compared to the stock 290/290X cooled cards. Those cards even throttle in Uber mode and are so loud.

It can run Battlefield 3 on low/med settings. It's quite a good card for the price and what I bought for my first ever build (still got a soft spot for this card). It runs almost at the same spec as some real massive cards and doesn't suck any power or space. Good card!

This card has performed very well so far.its nearly one year old.I would score it a 9 /10

Will this graphics card run Battlefeild 3 on ultra with no lag/ @60FPS?,.. No. I'm almost certain Buffy is referring to FPS and not data lag. I run a Intel i7 2nd Gen. 2600k CPU, 16gig 1600mhz RAM, and a GTX 580 1.536 and with a little tweaking of the in-game video options I have come to a very satisfying compromise (60 FPS) but just a good GPU won't cut it. The CPU, GPU, and Ram speed go hand in hand. Your cpu speed is critical due to the fact it must be fast enough to keep up with your GPU. Investing in a high end GPU with a low end CPU or the opposite, will usually "bottleneck" the game performance, resulting in low FPS, choppy game play. I wouldn't bother with RAM speeds over 1600mhz. Anything higher then 1600mhz is still a waste of money. Settings like Textures, HBOA, MSAA, Shadows, Antialias Post & Antialias Deferred can all be adjusted in game. MSAA seems to be the culprit in everyone's chugging fps issues. "The people who tested this game at Hard OCP noticed, with their settings on ultra, putting even 2x MSAA dropped their fps from 60 to about 30 on a single GPU card." Also driver updates released from Nvidia over the past year have greatly improved my GPU's performance. I am very satisfied with the 580 and Nvidia. They have made me a loyal customer. FYI: this card will also smoke any Valve game out there. I mean frame rates into the hundreds! I'm a huge L4D2 & TF2 fan =)

They are a fantastic gaming card for the money. You can see here http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html that they are better than the new GTX 960 in some respects. Super quiet and very cool :D

I understand, this graphics card is pretty great though. I'm into games like Skyrim and civilization BE. with this card I can run them at maxout settings. And even with newer games like shadow of mordor it can run flawlessly at med-high settings. Its a pretty great deal compared to the prices of some other cards.

I use that card for wow and never had much trouble from it at all. It's a very good card if you can catch it on sale or refurbished as I did some time ago. I also play many other games on it like Warframe, Heroes of the Storm, Smite, many others.

It has a low effect on FPS.If you are looking for more FPS you want a faster card, not one with more ram. This card should get you 30 FPS in most modern games, 60 fps in older ones and games that are well optimized (Very few well optimized games on PC)

Yes, it works fantastic. I OC mine to 4.5 and it runs like a beast! It works great at stock 3.5 too. Because I'm running SLI, it can't run anywhere from 73-78 degree at long game play in Elder Scrolls Skyrim, but other than that, it's golden. I'm currently in the middle of changing over to liquid cooing on both cards and CPU. Once completed I'll post some readings. In all , I think this is still the best adv consumer GPU out there; I just wish it were 4gb rather 3 but that's just me being greedy :). Hope this helps some.

the onboard graphics card is not that bad. not too much of a gamer, however I have played Doon 3. I have sold many of these motherboards and have no problems are the graphics.

the nvidia gtx 650 with 1gb of ddr5 is a very nice card and it's only like 120 bucks. I would recommend that one over any other for your price range!

I got your question in an email, and yes this is a god solid card to look at, but also games like sc2 are often prone to lag by the cpu load. make sure you have a good cpu to handle all of that.

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!
