Did it came with a game bundle? Try GTA:V or any AAA-title from your steam.

Pretty much any modern game will show it off, since assuming you're coming from an iGPU/APU/etc, the difference is going to be like 3 fps --> 60+ fps :)

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Definitely some BF4 needs to be played with that thing. You'll be pushing 60fps on ultra pretty easily I should think. And congrats on the new card! Excellent choice :-)
