I needed more characters :P. Every game i played it had amazing effects and very high FPS because of it. Im amazed what did Nvidia do. Even if its 512MB and GDDR3 its well optimized for most of games. If it had DX11 i would still use it, well i need to change it because of GTA V and Crysis 3.

Listen, I have this GPU for over 5 years and i love it. But my CPU is the very big downside. My favorite game is Crysis 2 and i can play it with 30 FPS maybe i could get more FPS if i had a better CPU. But the thing is, this GPU is still awesome even if its 5 years old. I never had any problems.

I think that you should have re-thought the purchase. This card is 2008 and seems a bit outdated. My friend has it and we are giving his computer an upgrade (ram, win7) and i think that the card plays dx9 games smoothly but you shouldnt even try with dx11 (crysis3,fc3) games because they are meant for newer cards :D
