XFX HD-545X-ZQH2 Radeon HD 5450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: I bought this card to replace the Intel G43 on my Dell Inspiron 560. It's a very cheap upgrade and my machine runs a lot better, and I can play more games. You can OC the card but I'm not going to, it's fine like it is. I like the fact that the large card mounting plate is black like newer cases.

Cons: The only con I have is the installer went unresponsive once requiring a reboot. Everything else is awesome.

Other Thoughts: It would be nice if the low profile brackets were black but I'm not using them so it's not a problem. Would be nice if software was better since I had to reboot (look above).

Pros: Fanless. Super low power draw. 2 digital outputs.

Cons: None as of now.

Other Thoughts: Got it for the wife's HTPC. It handles everything she uses it for: Facebook, youtube, dvd/bluray, extremely light gaming like Bejeweled.. If you're buying this to play any sort of major 3d intensive stuff that has come out in the past 3-4 years, get anything else.

It CAN run stuff like FTL or Minecraft or Terraria, but definitely not high frames at 1920. If you're hoping this will be a mega-basic upgrade from an older onboard Intel GMA, then yes, it's a basic upgrade.

Pros: I'll never know

Cons: This is most definitley not a low profile card unless you were to replace the stock G.P.U. heat sink. Unfortunately there is no pin connector for a fan so you would reduced to using a smaller heat sink.

Other Thoughts: There is very poorly marked and was a huge disappointment once it arrived. I gave it three stars simply because this was not the cards fault, but rather poor inventory organization.

Pros: Worked amazing for the first 5 months. Quiet, fast, good for STO.

Cons: Went dead after 5 months of light use. There was no reason for it going dead either.

Other Thoughts: I'm not ordering from XFX anymore. They're customer service is horrible. It took me almost a month to get a decision back about the Lifetime Limited Warranty. Oh, I can't get a replacement card because I don't have the original box.

Pros: you cant beat the price rilly good for light gaming

Cons: its not good for editing

Other Thoughts: it is old but looks cool and works great and the drivers are easy to install if you have 1/4th of a brain

Pros: No Pros

Cons: ..this card is not good.. don't buy and don't wast your time.. it is always boot the computer automatically for couple of times and it will work for some time.. If I re-start the computer.. it will re-boot the computer couple of times.. It is totally usesless..

Pros: I use this card for business desktop users that want to have a dual monitor setup. Low profile works well. Works like a charm for low to medium graphic usage.

Cons: I don't believe these come with low profile brackets.

Other Thoughts: Great card for the price!

Pros: I have been using this video card for a while now and have enjoyed every moment with it. It displays perfect 1080P on my 55" LED T.V. No issues since I ordered it from Newegg and I dont expect to have any, "XFX" is awesome.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I would love to have two of these cards because it would look nice in my case but this is all I need to watch movies and surf the web.

Pros: Works very well. Bought for our home theater PC in the den. Hooked up to our receiver and TV for internet streaming. It was very easy to get set up. No complaints

Cons: None

Pros: I got this video card for one of my game machines as a replacement for a much older card. The graphics look great for every online FPS game we play on it. It's a Windows 7 PC. Installation finished quickly and we are back to gaming.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Glad I did NOT have to spend $99 on a good all around card for the games we are playing.
