Grate product but every time I install a new game
It keeps asking me to do an update on the graphics card. Gerat thing to have if your a casual gamer but not if your a big gamer

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mittens13 Very Good Value for Money; but theres a but.
A moved from a R770 to this and i have to admit the performance difference is extremely good. I run a
Intel Pentium G850
8Gb of DDR3 1333mhz RAM
and a 500w PSU.
At first i thought my RAM and CPU would be good enough but suffice to say i was wrong. Compared to other benchmarks i get at least a 20FPS drop E.G in BF4 (Ultra) some reviews get 50Fps avg but i got 30Fps avg.
So be warned, you may get some bottle necking with this GPU.
Overall there are no significant frame drops like with my 7770 and setup was easy.
Good Buy! (pun intended)

Rated 1 out of 5 by VinceT No idea how good it is, driver install manager refuses to install
Returned to AMD after being burnt a long time ago.
And burnt again. Their driver install manager is called Catalyst.
If you can't get Catalyst to even partially run, you can't install any drivers so your card is useless.
For me, it took the biscuit that Catalyst wouldn't even install on a completely fresh Windows install. Note, Catalyst requires .Net 4.5 (which AMD tell you) AND Visual C++ 2010 and 2012 redists for x86 and c64 (which AMD don't tell you).
Still couldn't get it to install. No Catalyst = no drivers = paperweight.
So, back to NVIDIA for me. My paperwight will be going back to Scan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by biscuitnig Amazing performance
Bought this card to upgrade my hd7770 and what an upgrade it is rhis card delivers ....bf4 on ultra, the lowest I saw it drop to was about 48fps generally quite a bit higher. More than happy along with scans amazing service yet again 110% happy.

also really quiet
only 1 gripe (a bit pathetic though ) no sticker to put on pc case
otherwise a good buy for me

Rated 5 out of 5 by ObiWanKenoobi Great bang for your pound card.
Bought this card to replace my dying HD6870. Overall, i am very pleased with it. Aesthetically it looks great, the cooler is very efficient (gaming in OC mode, i never go over 48c with default fan profile). And the performance is nothing to scoff at either.
Here is my modest rig as of now -
AMD Phenom II 965 @3.8GHz
Crucial Ballistix 8GB 1600MHz
MSI 990FXA-GD65
MSI R9 270X 4GB
Corsair 650W
With this setup, here's a couple of gaming benchmarks i ran this morning. (all on max settings except motion blur)
(Average FPS)
Metro 2033 - 70fps
Dragon Age II /w Hi-Res Texturepack - 68fps
Skyrim /w 4k shadows + mods & ENB - 55fps
The Witcher 2 (ubersampling off) - 60fps
Company Of Heroes - 60fps (i think that's capped)
Warhammer 40k Dawn Of War II - 68fps
