Excellent card and value; very quiet,
This card is a strong performer. I am glad I decided to wait on the 690 as this seems to have enough power to drive my 2560×1600 with all effects and settings maximized. Very pleased with the performance and the imagine quality.
The card is much quieter that my previous radeon and is drawing considerably less power. Happy on both accounts.
Only stressing video ram past the 2gb barrier for skyrim modifications, but figured the 4GB would be worth a few extra bucks to future proof for future titles with more detailed textures, or if I chose to implement a multiple monitor configuration.
The only caution I would provide is the card is large – even larger than my 4870×2. I failed to check the measurements in my case only to discover this was about 1/4″ too long when I went to install it. Once I relocated a hard drive bay I was in business. But an item to double check if you cannot make adjustments to your case.
Great card and great buy.

|Nothing to complain,
A GPU you will not regret. Amazing performance, noiseless (standard fan speed). A recommended purchase for hardcore gamers who enjoy game settings on ULTRA.

|Killer Card!!!,
This video card is amazing. I have yet to find a game this card cannot play on “Ultra” or “Ultimate” video settings. As far as cooling goes I have installed EVGA Precision X to monitor my temps, use the custom fan curve, and monitor the over all performance in game. My card stays at at around 65c with 40 to 45% fan speed with an actual room temp of 60-65c. This is also under a full load playing games like Battlefield 3, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, Tomb Raider,and many other demanding games. I would have to say over all noise levels aren’t too bad though I don’t have anything to compare it to at the moment. I owned a GTX 670 FTW before this card. If you check the benchmarks, they are REALLY close in specs. However, I don’t know if I am diluting myself but it does feel “better” when playing games. I was under the impression the 5-7% power difference between the two cards is negligible but I DO feel a difference. Bottom line, you will not regret dropping the money. Expensive, yes it is. I hardly find that a reason to take a star away from a great product.

|One of the most brilliant takes on a sitcom I have ever seen,
Every situation comedy (sitcom) has to come up with a unique angle to view reality through, in the hopes of finding the humor in life. In the past, this was generally done in family situations with “zany” characters. That type of sitcom has also largely been done to death. Even the “group of funny friends” situation is starting to be overdone. Friends did it. How I Met Your Mother is currently doing it (very well I might add), Seinfeld did it, etc.
In “The Big Bang Theory” we are thrust into the lives of 3 genius level scientists, and one super-genius level scientist. The story needed its “Spock” or “Mr. Data” to explain to the rest of us what on Earth they were talking about, so we got Kaley Cuoco playing the lay-person’s character of “Penny.” As the genius scientists have to explain to her what they are talking about, it clues the rest of us in too.
The result of the situation this comedy is taking place in, is an inside look into a world most of us have never seen, nor do we understand. As someone who took both levels of introductory physics (and passed!) in college, I can tell you that their subject matter is accurate, and also way over the undergraduate level. The characters are pure genius, and pretty much every episode is hilarious and filled with heart.
I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for a good sitcom to watch. It isn’t a “science show” — no more than “Sports Night” was a “sports show.” It is a comedy show, and it is darn funny! The Big Bang Theory is now entering its third season, and I strongly recommend you all support it so we can keep this quality entertainment on the air!

Funniest Sitcom Ever,
Started watching this half way through the 1st season. Became a fan immediately. I even bought 5 more DVDs for my friends and family as Christmas gifts and now they are hooked too. The writing is smart and fun. I catch something new every time I watch it, whether it is a prop, clothing or dialogue. Makes me have a good laugh every time. I can’t wait for the 2nd season to come out on DVD even though I have watched all the episodes so far. I know I have missed things in each episode

A Future Classic,
There is very little on TV that I consider worth watching. Big Bang is at the top of the list.This show has excellent writing,excellent character development,and excellent acting.The 1st year was great and the 2nd is just as good.This is one series that you can watch over and over and it’s just as enjoyable as the first time.
