It's a perfect graphics card and its the one i currently have right now i.

I run Skyrim at very smooth frames i'd say about a good 60 Fps the game runs very smooth
and i play it at ultra i have tested the most graphically intense battles i spawned in 10 dragons
to see if it keeps up with the frame rate and it keeps up with the game it runs very smooth.
This Graphics card is very easy to install it requires no power.
Any other questions please feel free to PM me.

This is a pretty good card but, I heard if you mod the game or play any bigger games it gets really hot and laggy

This Graphics card is made not to get hot and "laggy". i have about 20+ mods installed in skyrim and it runs as if there are no mods and the graphics card doesn't support mods...
