I play games from 2011 and older. I brought this Graphics card as basically the minimal necessary to play Grand Theft Auto V, which I should be able to play at 1080p with normal settings. I should be able to get decent frame rates. On all the older games I can play them at their max settings at 1080p.
I have SimCity 5 which was released in 2013 and I can play it at 1080p with maxed out settings. According to benchmarks I should get near 60fps at normal settings in GTA V. Which is fine for me as my monitor is a 27" 1080p TN display running at 60hz.
I am a software developer specializing in Web Development and Microsoft's .NET Framework so I spend most of my time writing code, using VPN's, running virtual machines and surfing the web. I run Linux Mint 17.2, 99% of the time when I'm not working and Windows 7 the rest of the time.
