BIOSTAR VA4653NH51 Radeon HD 4650 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: 1. EZ Install
2. Fans are not loud
3. Performance rating is 5.8 on Windows 7 (if that means anything)
4. Good bang for the buck

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Installed on dual boot system with XP and Windows 7. No problems on either system, but I am not a gamer, so I don't push a video card to the limit.

Pros: waaay better than the previous 3650 and 3450 ive owned.

Cons: its not a 4870.

Pros: Awesome card, simple layout. Three hundred pixel pipelines. Compare that to 32 for the 9800 GTX card I replaced. Yeah, ten times the pipelines doesn't hurt!

Cons: Like all newer cards, this one gets warm. Use the CCC to address the issue. If you're a gamer, reduce your FPS to a NORMAL range. I can get 300+ FPS in DoD:S, but I set it for 120, and the card stays under 50 degrees Centigrade during play.

Other Thoughts: I replaced another great card, nVidia 9800 GTX Xlr8 Edition. I wanted to try out an ATI card and I'm very pleased with my choice. This card is AWESOME and it doesn't require even half the power the 9800 GTX did. Oh, and the price was half that of the 9800 GTX in comparison.

Pros: fast memory (for a 4650 card)

Cons: VERY loud - the fan keeps spinning at top speed, sounds like a leaf blower.
ccc can't change fan speed (might be a bad card?)

Other Thoughts: bought this for htpc, so had to RMA
got instead the sapphire version (ddr3, hdmi) which is silent most of the time (fan changes speeds according to temp), though is does have slower memory

Pros: I bought this card to replace a 1Gb Nvidia 9400GT that was only scoring a 4.9 Vista WEI score. I pre-downloaded the current Biostar 4650 driver from their website to desktop, installed the card;installed the driver from desktop; the 4650 card worked great. My new WEI score is 5.7, just what I was looking for.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: The Biostar 4650 seems to run cool and better than a Nvidia 1GB card it replaced.

Pros: Integrated HDMI. DDR3. Duel monitor support. Crossfire. No extra power connection needed. Silent as far as my ears can tell. I like the ATI Catalyst software so far. Excellent price IMO.

Cons: Does not come with a crossfire bridge.

Other Thoughts: With 2 of these crossfired in my new high performance wonder machine I expect I have a sufficient amount of overkill going on. I ordered two (separately) and the second one Newegg sent was the DDR2 model which is not near the card this one seems to be. This was an easy mistake for anyone to make as the packaging is identicle and the two cards are separated by one little didget on their serial numbers. I'm happy with the Newegg RMA process. 5 eggs for Newegg on that score. Hey, everyone makes mistakes!

Pros: Quiet, plays most games at high-medium (except obvious games starting with C...r....y....s). Is quiet.

Cons: No cons so far. Worked out of box.

Other Thoughts: Bought this for my gf's brother for some light-moderate gaming he does on a 15" LCD. Does great!

Pros: GREAT CARD AT A SWEET LOW PRICE!!!!!!!!!RUNS COOL GREAT FRAME RATES ON ALL GAMES......PLAYS MOST GAMES FLAWLESS AT MEDIUM TO HIGH SETTINGS....OVERCLOCKS VERY WELL!!!!!!!!NEED A GOOD CARD AT A VERY LOW PRICE,BUY THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS DEAL!!!!!!!!!!BIOSTAR HAS A GREAT PRODUCT HERE!!!!!!FIVE STARS........

Pros: It boost my score to 5.7 from 3.7 on the windows performance test. It rocks on dead space and far cry2.

Cons: It's did not detect my second monitor and I had to call tech help to figure it out and it won't hold the settings for the second monitor.

Pros: Plugged right in and xp black recognized without any trouble. Runs cool and overclocks a bit. Wasn't able to set detail settings to medium in BF2 but other games like Left 4 Dead I could play almost maxed out.

Cons: Would've liked an s-video output but not a big deal.
