With my Radeon 6870 setup i was using a GTX 430 as a hybrid physX card with special drivers. The end results are earth shattering performance in DX11 games with just a single GPU. Be aware that the precision X tuner does have the ability in the setting to be able to display the GPU, MEM, temperature, etc in the game real time and for EVGA awesomeness they gave us the ability to see it on a Logitech LCD panel.
But I did want ot be fair for the "green" guys out there that like to see efficiency in a product also.The included EVGA Precision X Tuner automatically boosts the clocks for you to 1110 got the GPU which is more than the already factory clock out of the box and it runs quite stable. Using some simple math and killowatt per hour rating from my electric company over two years I save 170 in electric cost.Not bad.now lets move on to the good stuff you want to hear. In fact this card draws so little power replacing my 6870 would make a bit difference in electric cost savings over the next two years now that I've upgraded. After doing alot of homework I found that this card performs as well as this setup but at a fraction of the power. MY statement are solely related to the system I've listed above.This video card is replacing a crossfired Radeon 6870 setup.
