4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect... one important catch, July 14, 2008

I am very pleased with this card so far. I love the fact that it is passively cooled, so you can watch even the quietest movies without having to listen to fans thrumming away. The performance is good considering the price, and the inclusion of an HDMI output is great. However, there is one caveat that keeps this from getting 5 stars - you cannot use the HDMI and VGA outputs simultaneously! What's worse, this is not documented anywhere - it took me weeks of contact with Visiontek tech support to figure this out. So if you have an older (non-DVI) display that you want to use at the same time as your HDTV, be aware that you'll have to buy a DVI-to-VGA converter and plug your monitor into the DVI output.

This review is from: Radeon HD3450 512MB Pcie (Personal Computers)

I just needed something fairly inexpensive with an HDMI port so I can watch internet TV on my big screen TV. This worked perfectly. It has a built in sound card so both sound and picture come throught the HDMI to the TV. No fan noise and no problems!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Blu-ray playback, July 21, 2008

Great card for watching Blu-ray movies
works great and even has an HDMI output.

The card runs at 600 mhz for the GPU and
400 Mhz for the memory.

This card also cuts down on heat if you are only
playing a movie the GPU runs at 300 Mhz and only
speeds up to 600 Mhz if needed,then slows down again.

If you are looking for a card to play 3D video Games
forget this card.

The Windows Experience Index on my Q6600 2.4 system with 2GB ram
Graphics Desktop Performance 3.5
3D Business and Gaming Graphics 4.0

As you could see the 3D experience is poor.
But for Blu-ray and DVD playback it's great no noise do to no fan.
a good plus is the HDMI output.
