Love this card.

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 760 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-N760OC-4GD REV2.0

Pros: Runs great and does what I want it to. Runs all my last-gen titles at a steady 60 FPS. I do not have a 4k display but I've heard this card handles it very well.

Cons: None really, I've toyed with the fans, when they get revved up high they can be loud but that's a minor complaint and I have 6 fans of ventilation in my case so the temps stay relatively low. Highest I've seen is 38C. Also you better have a big case this card is quite long.

Overall Review: Bought this card as part of the free Watch Dogs promotion with the intention of using it in a build I was selling, turned out the card was to big for the case so I ended up keeping it. Couldn't be happier with that choice. Watch Dogs is the only real "Next-gen" title I ran on it. Ran it great. I locked my display at 30 FPS and ran the game on Ultra settings never came off of 30 FPS during gameplay.

Pros: Addictive and simple multiplayer. Environments were great, some collision and item interaction bugs in the cut scenes but nothing I haven't seen before. If you like TPS action you can't go wrong here. Characters don't quite meet the bar set by 2 but still excellent work. That's what really made the whole trilogy great, the characters. The animations are smooth and the combat is very fluid and easy to grasp.

Cons: If you're one of the few, like me, that actually played this series 1,2,3 as opposed to 2,3,1 like most, or 3,2,1 like a few others then you will notice the huge change from RPG centric to TPS centric. That's been my biggest gripe, Mass Effect was supposed to be a RPG from an RPG developer and with 3 those of us who were hoping for a more RPG centric experience were blatantly lied to by Bioware about this being the "RPG of the ages" Next the classes have no real definition, with any class you can shoot your way out of any problem only difference it makes is what abilities you have, there's no real advantage or disadvantage of choosing one class over another like in 1. The story: seen it in just about every generic sci fi B movie and video game, oh yeah and in Gears of War 3 as well. "Unstoppable force, need conveniently placed super weapon to stop them"

Overall Review: Overall still a good game, fell short of the bar set by 1 and 2 in just about all aspects but still has its shining moments, despite the black eye 3 is on the series, the series as a whole is still one of the best, and I highly recommend checking this trilogy out if you never played it.
