It's hard to say what exactly I dislike about the card. It just gave be a bad vibe from day 1 when it arrived as a replacement for my DOA 7770. It's performance has always felt poor, sure it runs more modern games at higher framerates than the intel HD graphics I had to compare it to, but it never felt like it was working very efficiently. It leaves horizontal lines on the screen reminiscent of VHS fuzz just in the desktop and I've even experienced the occasional black screen when waking up from sleep mode. I suspect mine is a 1GB model and that the 2GB model is more reliable, but the fact that the two aren't easily distinguishable is yet another reason to avoid buying it IMO. Overall I would strongly recommend *not* buying this card even in a pinch. ^{[Nov '19 AgentOranJ]}
