Pros: -Budget price
-HDMI
-Good for small form factor cases

Cons: -Blue shader\HDR distortions in more than one game engine and more than one computer system
-Fan has progressively gotten louder
-Low 3dmark06 scores(may be a product of the defects)

Other Thoughts: RMA'd to newegg. I'm a fan of Asus and I have bought many Asus products and this card is the first bad product. I will not hesitate to buy Asus again, but I will try to steer clear of any brand's "Budget" video cards from now on. This card(when working properly) is perfect for many applications and even some low-end gaming.

Pros: Easy to install and love that it has a fan on it. I have a 24" WS LCD monitor and the graphics look great.

Cons: I don't know if it's just my pc, but I needed to update the driver in order for the only resolution option that would work with my monitor. I need 1920x1200 @60Hz. If you don't have a WS LCD monitor, this might not be a problem, but here's the url for the driver, release date 3/18/2009:

I took one egg away because of this.

Pros: Can run BF2142 At MAX settings easy overclocking HDMI built-in

Cons: None that I can think of other then overheating when running BF2142 but it is more of a case issue then the card

Other Thoughts: This card is in a Compaq SR1603 wm with 2GB of ram and is a temporary gaming rig till I can build a new one

Pros: - When it worked it worked great.
- On paper it was exactly what I wanted.
- It stopped working in time for me to get an RMA.

Cons: - It stopped working properly almost a month after I bought it.
- I had to upgrade my power supply to install it.
- Whenever I turned on my LCD TV, which was attached to the card, the card automatically switched from the second monitor on my desk to the TV.

Other Thoughts: I was looking for a card that would allow me have a dual monitor setup and connect my TV to the computer via HDMI. I didn't necessarily want to have all three video devices on at once, but that would be nice (This card only allowed any two of the three screens I mentioned at any one time). As I mentioned in the cons I had to upgrade my power supply, but I would have had to do that with any model card with this chipset. Also it had an annoying habit of switching from my second monitor to the TV whenever I turned the TV on. I had planned to investigate that problem further when the card started having problems. Vista safe mode, only one of my monitors would work and that monitor had degraded video quality (not just lower resolution). I put in my old video card and everything is fine. It may be that I just got the one bad card out of a thousand, but the bottom line is the card stopped working properly within a month ... 1 out of 5.
