Great for a so-so gamer
- Pros: Works great, there is some overclocking capability. Great for video editing and can't wait to try out directx 10. Runs games like bf2, hf2, and counter strike source. PureVideo HD 2 is a great feature with vista and video playback. Runs cool.
- Cons: Could use some more memory clock speed. I wish it was both DVI ports.GDDR3? Please?
- Other Thoughts: For a video card that supports Directx 10, it should have more technology and features into it. The value is somewhat good and bad but i recommend getting 8600gt or gts if you are a big time gamer. If you just want to run aero, play some games time to time, and have a multimedia pc, i recommened this video card. That is all.
nice card
- Pros: very nice card! a great improvement from my 6150 LE onboard. very nice for gaming such as BF2, CSS, and many others. as i understand its a mediocre DX10 card but who knows, there arent any DX10 games out there yet. very nice card for the average gamer but i would recommend the 8800 gts/gtx for the all out gamer. this is a very nice card for viewing pictures and editing videos and all that everyday stuff. very fast shipping, thanks newegg!!!
- Cons: none that i can think of. i had to re-arrange my wireless card and some other PCI cards to make room so it would fit in my PCI-E x16 slot nicely, but no big deal, just cut 2 of my fingers on the wireless card trying to get it out, it was stuck lol.
- Other Thoughts: go for it if you want a nice, affordable DX10 card but if you are an intense gamer and want a DX10 card go for the 8800gts/gtx. i love this card, very easy install and everything, thanks again newegg!

Not a bad card.
- Pros: This is the second card that I bought. They seems to work
fine for what they are. I do not know how they game as
neither person games.
I bought this one, because the first one that I bought almost
a year ago still works fine.
- Cons: Silly rebates.
- Pros: it is a very easy card to install. took me about 20 min. to install and set up. nice part about it you don't need a bridge to run sli. bought 3 of these for my new build but my 7600gt started to die after 3yrs so end up putting 2 of these in works great . the price allow worth buying for back up cards
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: so i'am buying 2 more for that new build
Incorrect Game
- Pros: It's cheap, it works, it's not for high-end gaming. I bought it for dual screen functionality and it shines at that.
- Cons: It came with Trackmania:Nations instead of TOCA 3. Lame.
- Other Thoughts: Don't you hate it when the picture DOES NOT match what you purchase? :/
