how does it handle- fps-sound-heat- what can it handle what can't it handle

My average FPS on Counter-Strike Global Offensive is about 200 fps.Battlefield 3 on High settings (Not Ultra) 60 fpsIts not too loud, but you can hear it, doesn't annoy me thoughI have had no heating problems with this graphics cards, its a litle old but still has the latest technologies, (CUDA etc...)very cheap, very good :)

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 had a constant problem with this computer overheating, even tried a HUGE cooler on the cpu, didn't help much. I have this cooler on two of my computers and I've had no problem with overheating whatsoever. I play all my games, FPS, Racers, etc., at highest settings and no problems. Wouldn't build a new computer without one.

I don't know. I'm satisfied with it. Sorry, but I haven't done anything very demanding with it to really comment on its performance quality.

I'm about to put a review up, but I've had it for 3 weeks and it does get VERY hot. Much hotter than a 17" I had and hotter than a 15.4" I had. I mean like I didn't know it was safe for it to run this hot, and this is straight out of the box. However, I game for significant periods of time and I haven't had an overheat. Someone in newegg said this thing gets to 64 degrees C with a cooler, and that is accurate. If you buy this for gaming, I would reccomend a cooler (that shoots air to the front of the computer, since that's where the vents are) and u shud be fine. It comes with a free 2 yr accidental dmg warranty (if you register it w/ asus by mailing them a small slip that comes w/ the computer), so send it back if it does overheat.

This handles anything like a champ. I got 60 fps anywhere when I played World of Warcraft. With my previous graphics card I was running roughly 35-50. Depending on what I was doing.

The only sounds you'll ever hear is a low click/ping when it comes back on or turns back off after it reaches the temperature you've set. And when it drops below the set temperature. But it's very low you'll hardly noticed it... Some people have said they've heard that sound besides then, but I haven't heard that. Only the two times I mentioned above. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your purchase. For how fast it'll heat up the space, and of course how long you'll have it. I've had mine for 7 or 8 years, and it's still performs like day one. Hopefully this helps you determine to buy it. I'm not gonna say not buy, because you really should. I'm just saying...

It does very well. The increased air flow over the cpu is significant. It should work well unless you are going to really, really overclock.

Yes, unless you move the sound card down. Unless the fans are blocked off you should be fine. I have never heard of a sound card producing alot of heat.

Extremely well, though I do recommend allocating some virtual RAM. I can run Sony Vegas, iTunes, and Firefox all at the same time with no lag.

Its pretty quite if you adjust the fan curve currently, If you keep the default fan curve its fairly loud, but it depends on how demanding the game is.

Ram is fine what is your processing speed and video capability that is going to have an effect on rendering

I use it for Lord of the Rings Online, Civ 5 and a whole host of other games. I don't really do FPS so can't answer there, but it seems the answer would be yes.

It's great, you just gotta be careful as if you leave it on for too long it might catch said space on fire. But seriously, this is a great processor, but all it is is a different processor with its TDP increased to 220W in order to increase its base clock. I love mine and use it with Sony Vegas Pro, and it powers through HD and even 4K editing like a champ. But it's unusable without a watercooler, either a 140mm with a push-pull fan configuration or a 240mm. Anything less and your gonna get so hot the sun will be jealous.

None, only at 100% fans speed (force set by after market software). You won't hear it under your CPU cooler - be it air or water cooling.

At stock speeds it can handle gaming as long as the gpu (graphics processing unit) / videocard is up to receiving the data transfer rate it dishes out. Faster the cpu can run and how well the gpu can process this, the better the experience will be. Just remember you don't want bottle neck your components either.

yes, but for that you will need to get a hydro copper heat sink because water cooling is the only way you can overclock it hard enough to get that high of a fps. if you cool with liquid nitrogen you might be able to get 30fps.

3+, if I remember right. It's been a few years now since I installed it, and yes, it still runs fantastic, trouble free. I have it with Windows 7, 8 gb ram and Nvidia 560 gpu. I use Antec liquid cooler for the cpu and it runs a steady 30 degrees, in 6 core mode. Be sure your motherboard can unlock cores. Get Asus mobo with onboard switches that allow you to turn the 2 extra cores on and off. About 80% of these will unlock from 4 to 6. Great deal, got mine new in bid on Ebay. I won it for $88.00! new!
