First it should be said that I now count more likely to be casual gamers and I now no longer only the pure graphics power of a graphics card is important but also other factors.
So I bought this card to replace my GTX280.
Why are now many questions because the GTX280 Performance-wise, plays in the same league ...
Simple answer:
- Possible power consumption about half under load! In Idle still much better!
- Extremely quiet graphics card even under full load
- Just a 6-pin power connector required
- Temperature of the card under load about half! (About 55 degrees)
- DX11 is supported
So who is looking for a quiet, affordable yet powerful card here I think should not be disappointed.
