If you can find it get it. Great starter card. Refurbished cards should run just as good as new if certified. But at a better price.
Great starter gaming gpu/graphics card; Takes a lot of settings at medium/medium high on a lot of games; Ran it 6 months to a year before I got the second card for sli; runs so much better now Personally use it on mostly MMO's and RPG's Use good judgement on FPS gaming
It will wear out fast on newer games and higher settings with the latest drivers from nvidia; Will only last if you go SLI and stay up to date with the drivers
