Some people rate this gpu as it is expected to run everything on super ultra high on recent games but they have no clue when this card was released. For those who don't know it's already a 7-8 years old GPU. So stop being demanding and also try to test this gpu with a decent cpu paired and it runs almost everything adjusting the settings ofc.
