" ... I haven't tried any VR games yet. ... "
" ... Runs every game I throw at it in 1080p, high to ulra settings, at 60 fps or higher. ... I also tried some 4k gaming on my new TV with dragon age inquisition and got 30 fps on high settings with the temp topping out at 70 C. This card was well worth $300. ... "
" ... It will probably not get you over 144fps at max settings on currrent top of the line games, but it will get you there with medium settings. ... "
" ... I recently upgraded to a 1440p 144hz Gsync monitor and this card still performs really well, well above 60fps if you are willing to play on Medium to high settings. ... If you can find one around MSRP price, its a no brainer for 1080p gaming or low to medium 1440p gaming. ... "
" ... This is in a i5 with 16gb ddr3, my 1050 would barely run games that this card demolishes 10/10 would buy again! ... "
" ... This graphic card is a beast playing No Man's ... "
" ... Steam games look great! ... "
" ... Does 1440p okay if you tweak some settings on new games, and really well on old games. ... I also use it with an Nvidia shield TV, so I can get the glory of PC gaming on the couch without crappy console quality. ... "

" ... No, you wont get great 4k performance with this but for 1080p it's wonderful. ... "
" ... It runs everything current at 1080p with no compromises. ... I also use it with an Nvidia shield TV, so I can get the glory of PC gaming on the couch without crappy console quality. ... "
" ... If you want 1080p gaming even some 1440p gaming (with modified settings) this card can power through just fine ... "
" ... If you've got 1080p, you're pretty set. ... "
" ... I can Play most games at high to max settings @ 1080P. ... "
" ... Gives better benchmarks than expected and pushes 4k, though all I'm using it for is to play Age II HD. ... "
" ... I probably would have bought the GTX 1050, but I have a 1080p monitor and had read that this card was better for my resolution, plus I have always tried to avoid 128-bit cards. ... "

" ... With the latest Nvidia drivers already installed for the 750 Ti and latest Dell BIOS already flashed, installation was very easy: turn PC off, open side panel, slide power supply out of the way, take 750 Ti out, put 1060 in, slide power supply back in, connect power supply 6-pin connector to 1060, make sure no cable touches the fan, close side panel, turn PC on, wait a few minutes for Windows to recognize that card has changed, then good to go. ... "
" ... Good upgrade for 2012 Macpro after drivers released April 2017 for macOS Sierra supporting the Pascal cards. ... "
" ... I'll admit the driver support for Linux and Mac work, but the features are limited compared to Windows. ... "
