MSI N450GTS-MD2GD3 GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: It work great, my customer that has it says it's the best he's had.

Cons: Why do they discontinue the good items? They last to long I think.

Pros: Can run games like Skyrim on Ultra, Can handale any game outthere and Mine runs a a cool 40 C. It has a very easy to use overclocking software.

Cons: none just aslong as you don't turn overclocking software to the max.

Other Thoughts: My Build
AMD Phenom II X 6 Processor 2.7 Ghz
This video card
10GB of ddr3 Ram
Biostar 870 motherboard
7 or 8 fans

Pros: Newegg typical fast shipping, 24 hours turn over, very nice. Shipping box was a bit over sized but it got here safe.

Took 5 minutes to swap out my burnt Geforce 9800 GT and it ran with the installed latest Nvidia drivers I had installed, very quiet fan for it's size, fan is 3 times larger then the old card.

No installation issues.

Cons: None really unless you want it for free! ROFL

Pros: Came in within 3 days of order nicely packaged.

Cons: When I placed it into my computer and tried to start it up it fried my motherboard...My computer wont boot up need to buy a new computer now..never got to see how it worked..I had enough power in my power supply unit and that was undamaged so I dont know how it happend..

Other Thoughts: it destroyed my computer im so devestated..

Pros: Small, fits nicely in my Micro ATX HTPC case. Quiet.

Cons: Very low scores on Passmark and 3DMark tests.

Other Thoughts: I bought this card expecting a nice graphical boost on my PC. Unfortunately, the scores I got after running graphics tests were very underwhelming. I received a score in the 600's with the passmark software, less than half the average score of other GTS 450 cards, and around 200 points less than the 9800 GT card I sold over a year ago. I returned it, bought a different but similarly rated card, and am getting much better scores.

Pros: Price, Compact Design, Performs very well.

Cons: GDDR3 instead of 5.

Other Thoughts: Last Summer my old Graphics card died and I replaced it with one of these because I was out of work and on a budget. I expected at best mediocre performance. Instead I got a great Card for a little bit of money. Now that I could afford a better card, I have instead bought a second to run as in SLI. It performs well for my gaming needs, and saving me the the extra cash for my next build. If you need a solid performing card on a budget this is a great find.
