i must say this is a great card for this price i got it because it was the cheapest hd 5830 at the time. i am very pleased with it so far it runs very quietly and its performance is very good for the price. Ive had it for 4 months now without a single problem from this thing. if you're looking for a great card for around 200 bucks this is the card for you!

I bought this for dedicated Bitcoin mining. It's been reliable, stable and overclocked for three continuous months. I can't say anything about it's gaming ability, but it's hash-rate for me hovers around 300MH's/s.

5.0 out of 5 stars StarCraft II works great on this card., August 11, 2010

I bought StarCraft II but needed a better graphics card to be able to crank up the settings in the game to get the detail that I wanted. I was very pleased with the results. I cranked everything up to Ultra in the game and it still runs very smoothly, even during epic battles with lots of units moving around. My desktop is right now hooked up via HDMI to my 5.1 surround home theater system with 47" LCD TV. The resolution is set at 1920 x 1080, and again it stills runs very smoothly.

The video card has two power connections that are required from your internal power supply (2 molex adapters included), so make sure you have a power supply with a total output of at least 450 or 500 Watts (depending on your other internal components, of course.) Also, it takes up a lot of space in your tower; I had to rearrange some things to make room for it. As long as this is not an issue for you, you will be very pleased. You should not have any problems playing most, if not all, of the popular new video games available today.

I wonder about the low review that the other person gave here due to the card not working at all. There are a lot of reasons why it might not have worked, including not enough power or the power connections being forgotten when installing the card, so I would pay no heed to the bad review listed here without more information regarding exactly why it wasn't working for him or at least the person's credentials when it comes to building/upgrading computers. He may have just been inexperienced; who knows? That's not the video card's fault if that's the case, right? It could have easily been user error. (Of course, it is still possible that it was indeed a bad card, but I doubt it.) I am a computer technician, and I know how easy it can be to overlook something obvious when installing new hardware.
