Are these specs good?

You'd be better off getting a newer generation card, like from the 600 or 700 series.

a 660 does way better for like 20 dollars more and a 700 is like 60 dollars more

Inefficient
Hot
You be the judge

I like it but I wouldnt reccomend it because of it being old, lol

Speccy has a tendency to show wrong RAM speeds.

RAM size and speed is low.

8GB is low? Most games only really use up to 3GB.
1066MHz is low, yes, but you'd only notice a difference between it and any higher clocked RAM through benchmarking. There is no real-world difference.

691 * 2 = 1382 ≈ 1333
It's not wrong at all.

No, probably I would think 16 is average.

No, probably I would think 16 is average.

8 is average for gaming, 16 would be good if you're rendering models, videos, etc...

But that would result in a higher price and I dun like that.
EDIT: Of course if you could link me to a affordable, efficient card in that series I would definitely look into it.
