PowerColor AX4650 1GBK3-H Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Threw this into a homemade media center, has done surprisingly well thus far. A little this, and a little that: Runs 1920x1080 HD videos well.

Cons: Like I said it's LITTLE, I nearly inhaled it.

Other Thoughts: A couple hicups with Blu-ray still not quite sure why that is. It's benign and rare so no complaints. Great if you want to play older games on high settings, not so much for modern games (obviously)

Pros: cheap price

Cons: does not last i have had two of these know and both have died within a year this card is not stable has to many issues with it. If you are thinking of buying this just save y our money to buy a good graphics card.

Other Thoughts: keep shopping you don't want to buy this card

Manufacturer Response:

Pros: Runs great, renders quick, HDMI is excellent!

Cons: HDMI seems to have a short. Variety of different cables and a variety of montiors and grounds, CPU will not boot with HDMI plugged in and monitor on. With monitor off, PC boots just fine.

Pros: cheap price for ddr3 1gb card

Cons: card fried on me exactly 1 year after purchase, shorted out my 23inch monitor as well.

Manufacturer Response:

How does your graphics card short out your monitor? I've never heard of that happening before and in fact I'd be willing to bet that the occurrences are entirely coincidental. The types of signals transmitted via a DVI/VGA/HDMI cable aren't anything that's going to "short out" a monitor. Either way, the card has a 2 year warranty so please feel free to submit an RMA request on the Support page of www.powercolor.com so that we can get you a working replacement quickly. If you have any questions please e-mail me at hugo@powercolor.com, thanks.

Pros: Fantastic card. I got this to replace a burnt up gtx260, and I was just shooting for something to suffice meanwhile I wait for the 600 Series. This thing plays everything on medium settings. I can't believe it's running just fine with Deus Ex 3 on medium, I thought a $40 card would just laugh at me when I'd try to play a brand new game. Tiny, doesn't need external power, quiet, powerful, wonderful.

Cons: None whatsoever

Other Thoughts: Skinny and beautiful, compared to the massive 260gtx I had.

Pros: Card plays almost any game on Medium to high settings. GREAT for a starter card to get you going.

Cons: None. Good Freaking Job on this powercolor, I will be buying more from you guys! You just made a name in my business!

Pros: User-Friendly, Quick Install, Great Price

Cons: None so far

Pros: Very Quite and easy to install. Plug & Play

Cons: The product works BUT forget getting the Rebate...It's a pain to send in all the necessary documentation and then NOTHING!!

Pros: Worked with my dell 300watt power very well..

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: This repaced a hd 4550

Pros: Using the powercolor drivers you can just install the drivers & not all that catalyst junk. Was using a buggy 9500gt. This is my first ATI and so far I'm loving it. Handles 1080p just fine without OC'ing.

Cons: May be a bit hard to get hdmi going, see below.

Other Thoughts: For HDMI, don't download Catalyst & the ATI drivers. They wouldn't even show up on my system so I had vid but no sound. Tried all of powercolor & ati's suggestions, no luck. No device to select. Instead grab Realtek's HDMI Audio drivers for ATI. Restarted and it works perfectly for cloning!
