Now, I know this is a good card, but when I went to systemrequirementslab.com it said that the card is featuring only it's minimum attributes (not using its full potential to what I can understand).

Can anyone tell me how to access, or make it use all of it's potential...or what am I missing?

Thanks.

Overclock it or buy a version that is overclocked for you.

Oh, okay.

Mind giving me a 30 second lesson on what exactly over clocking means?

I'm not savvy tech.

Overclocking means going ever the stock speed of the video-card itself. Increasing the memory clock speed means to overclock.

Example:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121094

This video card has been overclocked. The stock speed is 800 MHz, but the speed on the card itself is 1400 MHz.

Another card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133197

This card has a speed of 800 MHz, which is stock and is not altered. Resulting in less speed.

Hope this helps.

Protip: do not overclock the speed on a video-card until you are absolutely sure you know what you're doing.

Thanks man.

Okay!

Good luck with your video card.
