5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Video Card - Low Price !, March 29, 2010

Years ago, I had to pay over $300 to get a video card that played any game out there. This one was near $100, and I can't find a game it will not play. You name it, Far Cry 2, Halo 2, Oblivion, etc., etc. This video card plays them all smoothly, and quite beautifully. My processor is just a Quad 2.4 GHz, and I only have 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM (neither of these is spectacular), but the video card takes the full load of the video tasks flawlessly. I know there are even faster video cards out there, but they are so expensive. This is a frugal alternative, while still getting extreme performance.

Go for it! This is a great investment in excellent video graphics and gaming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Vid Card: Plays COD MW2 smooth as silk with all settings on high, January 21, 2010

Great card. One thing that i found strange was it has no external power connector. All power is drawn from the MB.

Overall, I'm very happy with this card. Runs everything I play smooth as silk.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worked great before smoke started to come out of it., August 25, 2010

I would have to say that the performance of this card worked great.

I would also agree it was a little loud but it really wasn't that bad. I sorta liked to hear the fan go so that I knew it was really workin hard. Some games like Bad Company 2 would lag rarely once in a while, nothing to cause any concern though.

The bad part is that it started to smoke on me today, literally. Luckily the computer turned off before my house burnt down (I was in the other room). After pulling the card out, found one of the little square nobs on the board was almost melting onto my motherboard. Luckily I think my mother board is okay. So I would say the card is a good one to have but be warned that it might melt on ya. I've had it for about a year and a half, so my warranty isn't good since I forgot to register it... shame on me.
