Terrible (edit your comment) Add link

2 years ago.

My dad made the mistake of buying this. His CPU actually scores the same as my ryzen 7 2700 in single core, and does as well in games, but this monstrosity limits it to barely getting 60fps at 1080p in minecraft with all the settings down low and render distance at 12. It's also the worst graphics card I've ever seen it terms of tearing and stuttering, probably because sli is always on.
