-See "Other thoughts"

Other Thoughts: I got this for a customer who had an A series APU from AMD. The performance increase from the crossfire gimmick was not worth half the money spent on this card. I returned it for the customer and he ended up getting a 550ti on sale for roughly 100 bucks. Needless to say the more powerful dedicated card was the way to go.

If your plan is to get this with an A series APU, you mind as well get a better cpu/gpu combo for the money. AMD APUs are best used alone for price/perfomance imo.

Pros: Got this card in like 4 days after ordering it and this card has played all the games i own on high to ultra high lvls with good frame rate to boot. Games i have played with so far with this card. GW2, sims 3, all Total war games all on max settings,aion max settings, WoW max settings, and a few more gameset max settings.

Cons: Really no cons except wish i had this card sooner.

Other Thoughts: anyone who says this isn't a card for gaming really has no clue what they are talking about i haven't found a game yet this little card can't handle atleast on med settings. like i said all games i have played on this card i have had played on high to ultra settings. for the price you just can't beat this little gem of a card. Remember its not just your vid card but a good mobo lots of ram and a good pcu is also important for the total of what your vid card can do.

Pros: Compact GPU that's running on 150 watt PSU ! Unbelievable performance for the power consumption. HDMI video and sound, plus runs most games at a descent fps.

1. Small card that requires little power
2. Excellent for small factor media center computer / or for kids
3. Runs most games at a decent frame rate.

Cons: None ! ... not for that little $

Pros: had a tight slot spacing situation with a 1x slot and had no choice but a single slot card. i also needed one slot to be vga for my utility screen..the card was the best bang for the buck and does everything i expected it to do and upgraded me from the HD 4000 series.- if your not a hardcore gamer and need to do video editing and virtual world games and are on a budget then this one fits and works.

Cons: the cooling area is still a tight fit with the next slot-- wish the blower was end fed as the asus xonar dx audio card nearly blocks the fan completely but that dont change the way it works. was a bit fussy about a minor memory speed tweak but in use it does fine. i knocked off an egg for the time it took to get here after paying for a rush order.

Other Thoughts: i put this with a asus m5a99fx pro 2.0 mobo. i needed a board with 2 16 x slots and got that but gave up a pcie 1x slot-- id rather seen less 4 x slots and more 1k, or maybe some real good asio pcie4x audio cards would be a better idea. most of what i do is av production , editing and studio recording. lack of space and slotting is what put me in a single space video card--as usual -also when will sombody wake up and see the market for 64 bit only mobos and 4x audio? that pci 32 slot is a complete waste of my space and have no use for it.

Pros: Great video and mid level gaming. quiet fan and low temps after 3 hours of online CODBO1.

Cons: none really.

Other Thoughts: For the money it is a great card. I will be upgrading to the 7770 soon. need help with the FPS on my online games.

Pros: it beats having no audio card

No others

Cons: My EVGA 880GS crushes this very hard in the windows exp. gaming went from 6.7 down to the 5's, really. Oh did I mention that card is 7 yrs old and this radeon junk was meant to uprade.

EVGA8800GS: Mem 284GB (helped immensly by excellent G-skill) Core clock 555. SLI lol YES that 7 yr old card smokes this AMD in the windows exp.

Other Thoughts: Do yourself a huge favor and do not ever buy this card it is laughable; even has no 6, or 6+2 power connections lol. Makes me want to stay EVGA Invidia for life if all AMD cards suck this badly.

Pros: First, this is coming from a longtime Nvidia fan-boy. This is the first ATI card I've purchased since the release of the 9800pro and I have to say this is a very impressive card for the $$. I was given an older Dell from early 07; 1.86ghz core two duo, 3gb of ram, XP MCE and after I popped in a 500watt psu, XFX 65702GB and restored the PC it really surprised me how well it played my favorite games. I can play CSS maxed out at 1650x1050 and get around 110fps. Also, I get around 50fps on Global Offensive - medium-high settings. This card was purchased for an ultra-low budget PC and I'm pleased with my purchase.

Cons: I would probably have a few cons if I paid $130+, but for the $$$ it's a win-win.

Other Thoughts: The little box it comes in is almost comical.

Pros: Easy as easy can be with the installation and recognition of this card. I replaced the integrated graphics card with this unit and 16 gb of GSkil Ripjaws and playing games on max setting. Call of duty spec-ops runs on max and thats enough for me.

Cons: No cons at all yet. fit the case and recognized the card on boot without any issues

Other Thoughts: This card is lowprofile and fit my HP case great. No problems so far and not expecting any. Newegg has always been a great choice for my upgrades and I'm sure it will continue

Pros: Looks nice, easy to install, and reliable.

Cons: 128 bit performance was weaker than I hoped. My 4850 can be OC'd easier and way outperforms this. This scores a 6.7 in WIN 7 graphics performance and my 4850 scores a 7.3 when OC'd a little.

Other Thoughts: If you need an average card a great price this is it... if you want something to perform a little above average you will want to go with a 256 bit card.

Pros: Excellent card for the money. Runs MW3, Diablo 3, SCII all on highest settings without missing a beat. Will be getting BF3 finally with this little gem in my system. The card is very quiet and fits perfect in a normal sized case. I think it will be to wide for a slim case or micro case.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: If your like me and a tight wad you will like this card.
