Kinda using this as a shoutout to EVGA. They did something really special with this card. No I have not sucked miracles out of it yet, but for every day gaming and pushing it all to hell in Metro 2033 in a shitty Raidmax Aeolus case without a side fan? Max temp has been about 85C and I've been able to keep most games, even Metro, above 45fps. This card is perfect for the budget gamer or the kid with parents who won't give them a budget over $750 but expects an i5 system with good parts. I can keep up with all of my friends in any game they throw at me!
