At the time of this writing, the prices of video cards have started to go down. It's still not where I think it should be but that's a different topic. This is almost the same performance as Nvidia's 1060. Since those cost about $80 more, I went with this instead. The advantage of this one is that this has 8GB of memory instead of the maximum of 6GB for the 1060. This does use a bit more power though. It performs fairly well for the PC games that I play. This should be the key factor for buying video cards. For most people, this level of performance will be sufficient for high or medium settings. This would also be a decent starter card. Under heavy load, the fans do make a fair amount of noise but not horribly high. It is easy to install if you have the space in your case. Depending on your gear, make sure to also have a sufficient power supply as this uses 185 watts.

This video card works great; the colors look great, sharp, and vivid. Not only does it perform well, it looks cool. With a nice design and nice colors too, it is for gamers but I use it to edit photos and videos and I needed a card that can work with me and this one does that and more. It stays cool due to the help of its fans; it has the heatsink to keep it cool too. Great resolution and it is always ready to take on multiple tasks as well. I have two large screens and they function great.

Can run most games on ultra setting, would be five stars if not for the following. Runs very hot, had to get a least 5 case fans to keep my system cool. Getting the rewards code from Best Buy was a nightmare. Codes were not emailed to me as advertised. Instead I had to go through emails to their corporate office and eventually was able to get them. Big reason on why I chose this one over competitors, but was way more work than expected.
