Conclusion
This graphics card handles video games very well and uses a reasonable amount of power. It just may up the ante for the competition... All good things for the consumer!
Nvidia has continued to intelligently expand its Kepler graphics card series with this high-performance card. However, you'll want to avoid the regular models, which make a lot of noise, and go with a branded version.
