Why spend more?

Reviewed By: on 11/13/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Great performance card! 512 ram. I run CS3 suite without any problems on a 22inch widescreen. Run Oblivion full res with any slight hiccup..smooth as can be. Plays great DVDs no problem.

Cons: A little big and you need a bigger power supply.

Other Thoughts: I don't understand why someone would pay x amount more for a "newer" video card where this one can play any game out there smoothly.

Reality is you can spend $200 more and get a video card that will run x amount of flops per second more but when it comes to actual game play you would never notice a difference. My system has this 1950 pro, I recently built a gaming system for a customer that is using a high end Nvidia card...in actaul game play you could not notice a difference, there were no screen issues on either end, one stayed with the other. However the high end Nvidia was $300 more.

Good stuff

Reviewed By: stereotypical asian on 11/9/2007

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: good card for a 3rd of the price of high end stuff and gives good performance.

Cons: I dont know if its just me but the stock fan on it was loud as h@##. And wasn't sure how to turn it down so i bought a aftermarket cooler. and temps went from 51c to 39~41 c

Other Thoughts: after reading reviews i decided to try it out and it does seem like the best card for the price range.
