Very good card

Card is definitely as advertised and as others have said. I took another reviewers overclock and overclocked it to 750/1500/1800 without changing voltages using Msi afterburner and it works perfect. Increased performance by approx 15 percent from an already great card. Running stress benchmarks and other games at highest settings the highest temps I get is in the mid 60's. Could probably push it more but didn't see a need to. For the price (at the time I bought it was $129 but even at $169) it's a really good deal. It's an elite card at a value card price, especiallly if you overclock it.

Maybe the plastic on the card is a little much, just being nit picky. This could be something on my end so I'm not taking away an egg but before and after I overclocked it the temperatures on stress tests were getting in the mid to late 80's which was making me nervous. I installed and set the fan to auto in msi afterburner. However even at 90 degrees the fan was only moving at 50%. I went ahead and opened options and tweaked the fan to go at X amount of speed at X amount of temperature and that fixed it. So I don't know if that was some bug in the card or I could of done something wrong, but I know it was on AUTO but it only ran at 50 percent. Anyway, just look into that and make sure your fan is moving like it's supposed to. Because once that gets fixed it doesn't go above the mid 60's. Easy fix using MSI Afterburner. That could be a reason some were complaining about high temps....check the fan speeds.

As it says, make sure you have TWO connectors for the card and a decent power supply. I went ahead and upgraded power supply when I bought this. I have never messed with overclocking before but after reading the reviews here and checking into msi afterburner, it's really very easy. You can get a sizeable overclock without even messing with voltages which makes this card even better. You can probably get near stock gtx 470 speeds if not more with the overclock.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Overheats

Overall benchmarks and cost.

Runs very hot under certain conditions. Runs around 100-110F when doing everyday tasks (email, internet, etc). But constantly overheats when running video games (COD Black Ops), and often blue screens when it overheats excess of 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Even with ample case fans and circulation within the case.

Good card for the cost, but be sure you have more than ample cooling if you are running graphic heavy programs.
