Surely the most impressive feature on this card is the performance of the VaporX heatsink, that manages the head generated from the card very well, also in stressful situations, and keeping a bearable noise level. In any case, if the fan speed becomes annoying during more demanding games, it’s possible to keep the fan speed at 30% and the maximum temperature will be just slightly over 65°C.

As for the graphic potential, the GPU and memory frequencies were enhanced, and even if the enhancement wasn’t that great, it surely raised the performance enough to be a good alternative to nVidia’s GTX260 solution. Even in heavy games and high resolutions, the card has never given low framerates that wouldn’t allow players to enjoy a fluid gaming experience.

The downside is the memory that features “only” 512MB, which in the current market are a little under the average when compared to other solutions, but with the launch of the Toxic version featuring 1GB GDDR5, that gap is filled.

The card delivers a good performance for those avid gamers that want good performances for a competitive price.
