Great card for the price. I picked one up for $120 with a $30 MIR bringing it down to $90 which is a steal for the power this card offers. At stock settings it seems to barely underperform my hd 6850. I was able to stably OC it to 975mhz core which increased framerates by an additional 10%. When OC'd it can handle playing Skyrim, BF3, Rage all at 30 FPS in 1080p on high/ultra settings. Also runs surprisingly cool, it usually runs in the low 50s while gaming and around 35 while idling. If I see another one of these on sale below $100 I'm definitely picking up another one for a CrossFire configuration.
