5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and Full Color Graphics at a Bargin Price., July 23, 2007

By	C. A. Sequeira - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I Purchased this Grapics Card so I could play Halo2 for Windows Vista. My PC has an Internal Graphics Chipset that was not powerful enough to run the game. I plugged the card into the express slot and installed the software with the CD. The installation software took me online to its web site and directed me to download the latest Windows Vista Drivers. the system will reboot after installation. The graphics were as good if not better than the XBOX 360 game console, very realistic and fast. I recommend adding some more memory to your PC while your in there, and you will be 100% satisfied! I know that with graphics cards you can go from mild to wild but, this card was the perfect fit for my situation. A lotta bang for your buck...!

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy buena tarjeta a bajo costo., June 26, 2007

By	Antonio Parra - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Voy a escribir el articulo en español para que la comunidad latinoamericana este informada de lo mejor de comprar buena tacnologia. Compre 3 tarjetas de estas, 2 para mi una para un amigo. Estoy armando par de maquinas por simple hobie y adquirir 2 de estas para armar un SLI que no esta mal. Primero estan a la vanguardia de la tecnologia y aunque no son las mas veloces de la serie 8 tienen que ver lo que ayuda armando dos bajo SLI. Los graficos son excelentes jungando lo ultimo del mercado. Segundo el precio es lo mejor, arme esta maquina con lo que me quedo de dinero y bueno estoy satisfecho.

El sistema que armo es asi:
Moteheboard XFX Nforce 680i
2 XFX 8500 GT 256 MB 450 Core Clock
Core 2 duo 2.13 1066 Mhz
2 Memorias kingston de 667
Fuente de poder Thermaltake 600w para SLI.

Si no se tiene mucho dinero esta es una buena combinacion. Si se pregunta porque XFX???, tengo experiencia con una XFX 6800 XT y le dado uso hasta cansarme y esta intacta desde hace un año....por la buena experiencia es que me quedo con XFX.
