This card is serving as an upgrade to my NVIDIA Quaddro FX1800 which came stock in my Dell Precision T5400 refurb, and I am definitely not disappointed with the huge performance boost I am getting out of it. This was really quick to install (I had to put in the driver disk) and uses the super common PCI Express 3 port, meaning it'll work in almost any computer. It comes with two large fans which are always running, and I've never run into heat issues. For gaming, this card is a beast. I have been able to runs games ranging from Minecraft up to Garry's Mod and even EVE Online with graphics pushed to the max. Unfortunately, this is a mid-level card, not to be pitted against something like the NVIDIA TITAN models. Despite that, this card is the best piece of hardware I have managed to get my hands on so far, and I highly recommend it (for those that have the space for this monster).

So far, this card is awesome. I was a little concerned that it wouldn't fit. I didn't measure it beforehand and when I opened the box and saw this massive card with dual fans, compared to what it was replacing, it was gonna be a tight fit. It actually fit with no problems, although it only uses one standard slot, it takes up the space of two bays. Graphics are great, videos run smoothly. One thing I will note is to make sure that you have a power supply with enough watts to handle it along with the other components in your rig.

I would have bought something with a little more horsepower (for a little more money too), except that the computer I was putting this into had two constraints: A weak power supply, and it needed to run quiet. This card runs silent as far as my untrained ears can tell Even while playing games, I cannot hear it. It also works fine with the aforementioned weak power supply - it doesn't even have a connector for the extra 6-pin power cable that most higher end cards need. I'm pretty happy with it.
