I purchase this card and put in a low end pc. It performance is outstanding. The colors are brillant and using two different twenty inch monitors doesn't bother it all. Installing was no problem and works well with Vista Home Preminum.

While this video card, Diamond Viper 3450PE512 ATI Radeon HD 3450 PCIE 512 GDDR2 Video Card, is not the top of the line by any means, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. For the price that Amazon lists, it's a good buy. I use my computer mainly for photographic work along with Adobe Photoshop products. I also use 3D programs for designing items and on occasion will play a few graphic demanding games. When I purchased this video card, I also purchased a more powerful 500 watts power supply, Logisys 575W 20+4-pin Dual-Fan ATX Power Supply - SLI Ready. I would recommend you doing this anytime you want to add a high end video card. My original power supply was only 305 watts, (standard from the factory most of the times).
The higher power output lessons the demand on the rest of the components.
I would give this video card a 5 out of 5 stars.

I use my desktop PC for gaming and advanced pro-level photographic applications, including Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom (among other processing software).

My <2-year-old PC is already a pretty fast machine, with an Intel 3.4 gig CPU and 2 gigs of RAM and on-board ATI-200, but it was straining and choppy with the graphics of current games like NWN2 MOB. On the other hand, I didn't want to spend $300 - $600 for a graphics card to upgrade a computer that only cost about $500 to begin with.

This card is the perfect solution! Not only is the price right in the ballpark of reasonability, but I was very surprised at the improvement of the quality of the graphics. On rerunning some of the gaming sequences, the improvement was simply astonishing!

Great value and performance from a proven supplier in ATI Radeon.

The sound and video on this card work great throught the HDMI port. I drive a big 46" Samsung LCD TV with this card and it does a great job on Blu-ray and HD-DVDs. I have one of the LG combo drives and there is not a stutter so far.

There are several pictures of card associated with this Video card. It does not ship with the onboard HDMI port. This version ships with the SVideo.
