Rating: - Great Performance for the price
This card runs all my games maxed out, crysis, bioshock, gears of war, Assassins creed, etc.
Only downside is this card is very very hot.
I recommend this product, for people like me that are gamers with not much of a budget.
If you do have a bigger budget, go for the hd4870!
