- Strengths:
- powerful card, you get to experience games like never before and brag about your game settings!
- Weaknesses:
- be careful as this is a large card that runs warm. Swapped out my GT430 for it and my performance jumped HOWEVER, my heat did as well going from 40-55 degrees running a 2500k @5.0GHz.
- Summary:
- I'm going to have to invest in a better ventilated case because of this card, but its still worth it imo.
Nice mid-level card

- Strengths:
- - Improved video rendering time with Adobe Premiere to 1:1 for 1080p video (was previously 5:1 with just the CPU - i7 870).
- Runs most games on Ultra settings with no trouble.
- Fits in my mid-tower case.
- Weaknesses:
- - Doesn't default to Ultra settings for Skyrim.
- Fan runs at 75% and is audible when playing Skyrim.
- Cost is a bit high for the processing speed. If this card were under $240 it would be a much better value.
- Summary:
- Overall it's a good mid-level card. I did need to re-write a bit of the code for the Adobe Mercury playback engine to recognize it. Typically it is very stable and I've had minimal issues with it.

- Strengths:
- Runs very cool and thus very quiet
Can run the newest high-end games without any performance issues
With the 2 GB, you can run higher resolutions with high levels of AA and AF.
- Weaknesses:
- Overclocking was not as successful as I wanted, but I still managed to overclock by about 5%.
- Summary:
- Replaced a GTX 285 with this card and really like how quiet and cool it runs compared to the 285. I never hear the fan crank up at all when running high-end games. A good mid-level 500 series nVidia card.

- Weaknesses:
- More expensive than the ATI/AMD competition.
- Summary:
- 4/5 because it was expensive. Great performance.
