Pros: Good video card that improved my Desktop video performance by .5 points. Not a very high performance graphics video card but it gets what I need done.

Cons: Was planning on using this in my media center pc but wasn't paying close attention to the heat sink that sticks out from the card so I just ended up using it in my desktop.

Pros: This is a great graphics card
i was able to run NBA 2k10 on Full HD (1080 x 1920)
with all settings maxed and was still able to get 30 frames a second in the benchmark
NOTE: it runs 25 frames per second before overclocking!

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: the MSI afterburner is a great overclocking software which came with mine and can overclock without restarts just like the ati overdrive tool.

Pros: Allows you to size the display for use with a 1080 TV.

Inexpensive.

Speedy.

Cons: ATI software is a little high on the overhead.

Other Thoughts: Used this to replace an integrated Intel chipset that would not display 1080 properly.

Plugged this card in, installed the drivers, and WHAM! Instant HDMI with audio in Windows 7, 32 bit.
