This is a very good card. my graphic card rating is 7.7 but I am using only 1 at the minute. this graphic card would have been better if it had more streaming processor to atleast 1024 and memory 256bit but overall it is a good card and I can play assassins creed on high setting to about 40 — 60FPS.
its good for the price.
