We got it for my 13 year old son who was looking for a gaming PC to build. As of this evening he is very pleased with the card, this is evidenced by the fact that he has no need for my work laptop and he has been in his room for hours playing Gary's Mods. Hope this helps

It's good for mid-range gaming but an important thing to know is that it does not support DirectX 11. So if the game requires DirectX 11 it will not work with this card. I found this out after trying to play Allen Isolation. The game would not load at all.

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

Yes!! It will not be good for heavy gaming but for the casual gamer and everyday day computing the integrated graphics works very well and gives a better WEI than most lower end graphics cards. I love the way my graphics work and it is the Intel HD 2500!!

no it is not a high power, high end CPU that would be recommended for high end gaming. Look at AMD FX-8350, or an I-5 intel on the low-mid end

I am afraid I can't answer that. All I can say is that it is a strong mid range low profile card. Under heaviest loads, in small form factor boxes, it will heat up. For my purposes - to deal with this I added extra fans and moved the power supply outside the box. Obviously I am a fanatic - and work to keep my system components running under listed normal ranges.

It would be overkill for that resolution. I would go for a lower end card unless you play some very, very big hitting games.

depends on your cpu as well. your cpu could be bottle necking the performance of your card. it's overall a good card to upgrade to but make sure you got a good cpu as well with it or else you will experiance bottle necking with it. when i upgraded i got both a new cpu and gpu.

Really depends what your budget is, if you're wanting a good card with enough power to run most games at medium setting with high frame rate, go with either AMD Radeon R7 260X or Nvidia GTX 650, they price anywhere from $95-$125. But if you're wanting to get even a better card that can play most games at medium high to ultra with decent frame rate, go with AMD Radeon R9 270x or 280x or Nvidia GTX 660 or GTX 750ti.

Yes - I'm actually using an R9 270X with it right now. That range of card ($150-$250) is a great fit for the APU processors for a balanced system - any cards more expensive than that and you start to find that the rest of the platform is holding you back (depending on the game of course).

It will run it. However, for the price, there are better cards out now. The 7750 and 7770 are great cards that don't cost a lot more, but they're powerful.

Yes, but I'd recommend turning AA (anti-aliasing) off to keep a solid frame rate. If you want to play with Eyefinity (3 screens) or 4K resolution, this card can keep a reasonable frame rate up to High settings (with a couple settings turned slightly down a bit from the "High setting" default).

perhaps but it's power range is limited. if you need that kind of performance, pay the extra money for a higher end card that offers the next level duty. this card is a might slow at times but reasonably so for the price. still a great economy card. will run many modern games and video. it supports video in hd in several windows on my 24 inch monitor simultaneously.

Yes though remember part of that depends on your graphics card I would think as long as your not going SLI or even if you are as long as they are not super powered cards you should be good. It's what I am running in my rig right now so I know it works fine.

This has a dedicated graphics card, its pretty response. Although, I haven't played any steam games, but I'd be willing to bet it shouldn't have any problem.

Ram isn't going to be the most limiting factor of this card, it performs well enough to handle most games I throw at it. For the price it can't be beat.

HiThank you for your interest.It's compatible but it's not enough to run high graphic games.We recommend above GTX650 / 750.Thank you.

Gaming performance is will depend more on your GPU than the CPU, but yes, this should run most games quite well.

yes, wth one display and medium setting. this card is no good for high stress games like battlefield and crysis online. if you are already dishing out money for lowerend GPU you might as well invest in a 560ti at minimum. 660ti is a great low-medium investment. for 120-180 $ you cant beat that. 2 x 660tis can run as good as a single 4gb 770. double check your game system requirements and make sure your running the correct hardware.
