MSI R6450-MD1GD3/LP Radeon HD 6450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: No surprises, it does what is intended to do and that is to provide a dual monitor option for a slim form factor PC. Works with a sub 300 watt power supply which is great. I have purchased a few of these and all have worked fine so far.

Cons: Not really

Pros: Works fine, about the same maybe Slightly better than the build in radeon 4250 card. But it does free up ram.

Cons: only raised my microsoft score up by .1

Other Thoughts: Dont bother to load in the software to over clock this, I am overall happy with this , it works as intended. It will play games like atlantica online fine, it also has a fan on it that you can hear, but for only 50 dollars its decent.

Wished I had spent another 100 or 130 and gotten a real card.

Pros: For the money it`s a good card,am happy with it.

Cons: Rebate is a stinking JOKE! I`m never buying another item with a rebate!!! The original invoice I received from New Egg,which I sent in, was not good enough. REBATES should be outlawed.They always look for a way to not pay!

Pros: Dual Graphics with my sons A-4 APU and took the Windows Experience Index up a full point after installing it.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Don't listen to the people complaining about the rebates , they're impatient. Any company that offers mail in rebates takes their good old time, they even say in the fine print to expect to wait 8-10 weeks AFTER they receive and process the rebate(which takes 2-3 weeks initially). MSI does offer expedited service for a $2 deduction from your rebate amount, which means you'll get the rebate about a month after purchase, versus 3 months if you don't.

Pros: works fine so far even though its only the first day. I'll post again if there is anything wrong. Got it for $27 after tax and mail in rebate.

Cons: nothing. Not a MSI fan, but I'm also not biased so no eggs lost.

Other Thoughts: Turns out my old video card that came with my old computer that i got from best buy was also a MSI video card. it lasted pretty long, but like i always said. you gotta always upgrade.

Pros: Runs all my games at their Max at 35 - 60 Frames (Battlefield 3, SimCity, Tomb Raider, Starcraft 2)

Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is so smooth, it truly blew me away.

2 Free games!

Stays cool at full load at around 55 degrees celsuis.

I payed for 3 day shipping and it came the very next day! Im impressed.

Very great value for such massive power

Cons: It is a little loud when the fans kick up at fulll load but its not terrible.

Other Thoughts: This is a great card! I don't need anything more powerful. Im truly pleased with its capabilities. Buy it!

Pros: Popped right in no issues, haven't messed with OC settings yet but i dont think ill need to for some time

Cons: None

Pros: -Small form factor
-Decent fan and heatsink
-Aero performs exceptionally well with minor lag at times

Cons: Not even a casual gaming card! I paired this with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 and tried an old game, Joint Ops from 2004 and on the highest settings, this played it at about 20-25 FPS. Call of Duty 4 played at about 10 FPS on highest settings.

Other Thoughts: Not a bad card at all. However, if you're even hoping to play older games, it will not perform well at all unless you don't mind lowering the graphics settings. Scrolling in Firefox is also laggy as well as some of the Aero fade effects.

Pros: OK for what it is. Takes a regular (full size) HDMI connector. Got it with a NE discount + rebate.

Cons: Had to send in a form for the rebate. Still waiting on the rebate, but if it doesn't show-up, was still a good price with the NE discount. Wouldn't have gotten at the MFG price, even with a rebate because I just haven't ever had good experences there, and not just with MSI.

Other Thoughts: I never use the CD in the box. Always download latest drivers from ATI (or NIVDIA), not the MFG websute. Have better luck that way. Got this card to add HDMI to a SO/HO build. Always have to adjust the screen image when using HDMI, even when using cards that cost a lot more than this one, so don't let that be a stopper if this card fits ypur needs and is in your $ range.

Pros: none

Cons: Junk - Installed into Optiplex 755, Windows 7 Pro Latest Updates SP1 same with the Opti - blue screen right out of the box with the newest drivers from MSI website. Wouldn't make it through the driver install without blue-screen.
