Would this card underperform as a gaming card, compared to nVidia GEForce series?

Sure it will it is not disgn for games (directx) but for cad application (opengl)...check cpu benchmark (google it) to show you the differnent

Yes, but not because of the hardware itself-- the K-series drivers for the card are tuned for CAD/engineering rendering, not gaming which the GEForce drivers are designed for gaming APIs.

maybe in some areas as its made to work with CAD and VFX software but a short answer is this is not a gaming card. You would be way over paying for features and support you don't need. Get a Titan or the best geforce you can buy stay away from quadro or professional video cards if you are not interested in VFX software

i picked mine from this list, make sure its better than onboard Intel graphics if you have that.http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

While it has the performance to play most modern day games, it doesnt reach its peak capabilities due to the graphics card. If you are looking for gaming, its recommended to get a resolution of 1920x1080 and a graphics cards that is a Nvidia GeForce gtx model of the series rather than an nvidia geforce gt. Only problem is the cost will be. much higher, so if this is in your budget, this isn't a bad choice

I play skyrim on high settings minus the anti aliasing or the other option (can't remember it right now), I also give it a gig of video memory if you can spare it. It runs at more than 30 fps at those settings, so overall it's not "good" for those games but if you don't mind a little lower quality than yea its a fine substitute for an enormous card. Also I drop the resolution to 1366x720. I haven't actually looked at what the exact fps is but it's not choppy at all.

I wouldn't know the bare bone of if it is better, I do know it's one of the top 5-ish cards for low-profile computers, so it's almost a guarenteed it'll be a major improvement, especially for an older card, as long as you have the preferred RAM of the card.

It depends what type of gaming. I had to install an aftermarket graphics card to get it to play Microsoft Flight Simulator at a decent frame rate, so I'd say no (out of the box).

This card is somewhat dated and doesn't have the power of newer cards.It will play most games but not at high resolution or high frame rates.Check game documentation for minimum system requirements.

Depends...you usually want a balance between cpu power/ram and graphics.. But yeah a upgrade with g-card will usually give good results

It will run it. However, for the price, there are better cards out now. The 7750 and 7770 are great cards that don't cost a lot more, but they're powerful.

This is a professional class graphics card not meant for gaming. Nvidias GeForce cards are gaming cards. Also windows experience scores are crap and a useless measure of anything. You are looking for cuda cores in graphics cards so you can look at nvidias product specs for those. Obviously the more expensive the more cores you get

Yes, it should be able to run mostly everything just fine for the next couple of years. Right now graphics card power has advanced so much that the current geforce 680s and radeon 7970s are overkill for everything out there, and there aren't any games that use them to thier fullest yet. From what I've experienced with this card, it handles all of the most beasty games I throw at it at maximum settings, from Metro Last Light to Anno 2070. With the new consoles using AMD hardware I am feeling very confident that it will be able to easily handle PC ports of PS4 and Xbox One games, as they will be already optimized for it.

Yes, I think so. I can play Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on Maximum settings, at 1680x1050 with very very few lags in graphics. These are two of the most graphically intensive games I know. You should have no problem. Make sure you have at least a 500W PSU to run the card and the rest of your system. I have a 495W PSU and it runs the 2GB GTX 660, my Q6600 Quad Core Processor and 4 GM of RAM, no problems. This card also runs very cool under load, its worth the money. I highly recommend it!

Yes. It can run most games on highest settings atm, but may be dated soon. Just remember, sli with 2 of these is arguably better than a Titan.

This is not as compatible for interactive games with heavy graphics. I would step up to a higher GeForce graphics card for better gaming quality.

It runs WoW okay, but you have to keep the settings down low. Recently upgraded the memory to 8Gig which helped a bit for not too much cash. There are also okay video cards that will actually fit in this case. Low profile Radeon HD6000 series cards or NVIDIA 620GT cards are available for less than a hundred dollars and will greatly increase yourgame performance and graphics quality. Still not a top o' the line machine, but nothing to sneer at either.

Yes it is better, the one from Nvidia that is similar and quite a bit superior in some points is the 750 gtx.

Personally. I would say stay with you EVGA gf GTX660 s2 than upgrading to the 760. However, Overall yes its better but the bump you get from it is like going from a 3ghz processor to a 3.5ghz processor. On paper ya its faster. Its better. But will you notice it right now in games. Probably not. I would wait for the next generation cards. IE the Geforce 860(dunno if thats gonna be the name but you follow what im saying) or even the 960. I went from the EVGA GTX 460 to this. So, dunno if this helps but thats my 2 cents worth.
