5 out of 5 eggsAwesome

Pros: I am new to anything as far as building a cpu. this went in smooth and lets me over clock when I need to come raid time. Pretty much a self running system. I have a 250 watt power supply and it isnt flinching. I purchased the refurbished hp and this total was 382.00 and i have a gameing cpu.

Cons: I bought an open box for 48.25, after i installed it i went to buy another and they were sold out.

Other Thoughts: I purchased a bigger power supply and its on the way. Its still running great but I figured I should get a bigger power supply just incase. I may or may not install it but I will have it if needed.

5 out of 5 eggsamazing in 4-way crossfire!

Pros: Price,supports 4-way crossfire,no power input,GDDR4

Cons: 256mb, runs kinda hot.

Other Thoughts: I have this in 4-way crossfire on the 790FX motherboard. and the Phemon 9600 2.3ghz quad core,4gb ddr2 1066,2tb hd and i'm maxing out every game. (even crysis at 1440x900 and no AA) amazing card, well worth the money.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Video Card

Pros: Very satiisfied with the video card. I use the card to connect my PC to my 52" 1080i TV and I get a great picture. The fan is not loud at all and the card runs at a steady 45C according to the ATI software. I have a 305W power supply that runs the card so a 400W supply as suggested on the box is not necessary. The card fit perfectly inside my Dell Dimension E510.

Cons: The screw placement on the DVI-VGA adapter didn't line up with the DVI on the card, but this just makes that part of installation a bit annoying, nothing else. The card is quite long so check you mobo layout prior to purchase. I haven't use the card for any gaming yet.

5 out of 5 eggsAbsoulty a steal for the price

Pros: Price/Performance/Quite/kept my stock Power Supply (300 w)

This card is great! I installed on my Dell E Series desktop because the original video card was using shared system memory. I had been getting Vista Areo scores of 3.1, after installing this card I'm getting scores of 6.0. Easy installation, dual DVI, S-video inputs for video capture. Great card.

Cons: None.

5 out of 5 eggsPOWERCOLOR HD2600XT

Pros: Zippy little card, playing DX9 Games at Full Res, Draws all the power it needs from the MB. Very impressed with Performance, might be the 120 Stream Processors. PCI-Express16 - Which works perfectly with my MSI Barebone, and New Athlon X2 2.7 Black CPU, WIN XP Pro.

Cons: None to Speak of.

Other Thoughts: Running Star Wars Battle Front, World in Conflict - Which is very graphics and CPU intensive. Goes right Along. Drivers on CD Seem pretty good.

1 out of 5 eggsDidn't work...

Pros: None

Cons: My computer would not recognize the card. I called powercolor tech support and that was a BIG joke.

Other Thoughts: Sent it back for a refund and ordered a PNY GeForce 8600GT-OC. That card installed with no problems and is working GREAT.

4 out of 5 eggsgreat card for the price

Pros: My 9300 gs 512mb 64 bits DDR2 was gitchy and would not load my game, Rainbow six vega 2 so it was time for replacement. Wow what a mind blowing difference with is card. I tested R6V2 with all the video display on high and still runs so smoothly.

Cons: I didn't receive HDMI adapter or crossfire cable. I called their help center and with no hastle they sent the missing pieces. I had to give a 4 rating for inconvienence.

Other Thoughts: I think they should warn people after installing drivers, make sure to switch back to your original sound device in control if your not going to use HDMI for sound. I was dumbfounded about what happened to my sound until I realized another sound device was installed.

5 out of 5 eggsSurprised

Pros: Surpasses my original expectations in some games. On par with performance in others. Low power requirements, runs on 300 W PSU. Quiet. No issues.

Cons: Not an enthusiast card. Great for older system with modest hardware.

Other Thoughts: Better than my previous X1600 XT. My surprise came when i purchased Oblivion. I thought Oblivion was the game that broke the backs of video cards. I know people who have difficulty running the game with all but low/mid settings. I am still increasing my settings outdoors without experiencing stuttering at 1024 x 768 resolution with HDR on. I keep setting the distance further and everything higher and am continuously surprised that i have no stuttering! That;s with the rest of the recomended specs being met.
3000+ Athlon
1 gig DDR Ram
This card.
Pretty good indication that this card will meet all my gaming needs considering my system is missing other hardware needed to run the newer DX 10 releases. But for a test of DX 9 games, Oblivion certainly is a good one. I'm pretty sure when i run into areas with lots of charectors and activity I'll need to turn things down. But for exploring the beautiful landscapes and indoor settings, it has proven to be capable with very high settings.

5 out of 5 eggsSuper Card!

Pros: Very good card, was able to run Devil May Cry 4 + Dynasty Warriors 6 on all High and max res without problem (80+ fps). Really quiet (little noisy on start up but that's fine). Runs at about 50* idle.

Cons: Only 256MB, but its enough to play most games.

Other Thoughts: Great card since i was getting it for only $20 AR.
