- Pretty cool graphics card - Ou Boets Boets, 31 August 2015
I really like this graphics card. Runs all my games on +-60FPS on ultra settings. Recommended!
- Excellent Value for money - Jean, 14 July 2015
Very very happy, as stated by some of the other reviews can play just about anything and everything on +60fps on Ultra / maxed out settings. Temps doesn't go higher than 74 degrees max and very silent card overall. At the moment this is THE best value for money high-end card you can buy. For the same price the Nvidia GTX 960 pales in comparison, and not nearly as future proof. Despite what have been rumoured, this card is fully DX12 compatible as well!! Very good service from Wootware, my first time buying from them but will definitely support them in future again, thanks guys!!!
- Great card awesome price - Danny, 13 March 2015
This card rocks! I can play anything at 1080p ultra around 60fps and overclock is also an option. Just one thing make sure you have at least a 500w psu before getting this card. Worth every cent.
- Killer performance. Killer Price - Daniel, 23 January 2015
Definitely worth getting this over any nVidia alternatives. Just as you think your gonna drop below 30 fps it holds it and jumps back up to 60s again. Overclocks like a beast too (for any enthusiasts out there ;)
- Awsome Card - Caleb, 3 November 2014
Purchased this card and its damn amazing. Runs Everything on max settings at 1080p. Well worth the buy espcially if you upgrading an older card or building a new machine.Free games make it even better. Dont hesitate to buy this!!
Built a whole new rig through Wootware,they provide really fast service and good quality products.Great shopping through them.
- Well worth current price - Christopher, 20 October 2014
What more can be said on top of the below comments, for this price plus the Games it is a real bargain, and keeps up fantastically with the current 2014 Games no hassles.
- Bobaas - Luki, 19 September 2014
Hierdie outjie loop soos n kat met slippers!!!!!!! Enige speletjie 60 raampies per sekonde met maksimum grafika verstellings 1080p!!!!!!
- Amazing card at a ridiculously good price - Clinton, 16 September 2014
This is the cheapest 3GB GPU I was able to find after about a month of searching and it is well worth it.
I'm able to play almost any game at max settings, 1080 p at 60 FPS most of the time and will be able to continue to do so for at least the next year.
Don't miss out while the price is still low, and the free games you get with it make it the deal even better.
Awesome service from Wootware too. - Excellent bar build quality - Dale, 12 September 2014
Excellent graphics card for the price, I'm able to run Battlefield 4 on Ultra with 120% resolution scaling and I get 60 fps 95% of the time (with mantle). Build quality is questionable as the backplate came loose after only 8 months of owning it, I had to tighten the screws; they were completely loose. I do not go to LANs etc. With that said, the cooler does an excellent job. Great value for money.
- AWESOME GPU - Bruce, 2 August 2014
OH MY HATSTANDS! this card is amazing! running EVERYTHING on Ultra graphics and it hasn't gone past 50degrees! it chills around 45-47 deg while playing BF4, Wolfenstein:N E, Remember Me and Hitman Absolution. cant wait to play Sniper Elite 3, Thief and Murdered: Soul Suspect once they finish DL.
this is a definite well worth the money card. good value for money and the backing plate helps SO much with stability and sagging.
thanks wootware guys! - Great GPU and Great Service - Dean, 27 May 2014
Very Happy with this Card it runs all my games on Ultra @ 1080p and combined with the bundle you get even more goodies.
Wootware had my card at my door within 2 days and I am more then 800Km away from them.
Great Product and Great Service - Fabulous GPU - Robert, 2 May 2014
Really happy with this gpu, took the leap from Nvidia and have not looked back. The clock speeds are not the highest out of the other manufacturer line-ups of the same model, but performance surprises nicely and is lower priced, with room to overclock if that's your thing.
The product looks good, is very sturdy and runs silently on low temps (< 72 degrees) .
A truly good buy, for those of you wanting to run a higher range AMD GPU, that performs well.
- Great GPU! - Nichol, 30 December 2013
This definately money well spent! Great GPU that maxes anything on high @1080p!
Been jamming Grid2 on Ultra 2xAA @1080p and average FPS stays between 59 to 67!
I've never even heard the fans spin up as yet and it runs quiet all day long with temps peaking at 61deg thus far...
