Comments: To the person a few reviews below who ran the card on a 2 ghz P4, your CPU is a HUGE bottleneck to this card. What kind of performance gain did you expect? Of course changing settings on the card isn't going to improve your framerate because your CPU is holding it up.

Great card. Throw it in an equally matched system and you'll get awesome results.

Comments: Great deal for under 170. Was able to unlock the extra 4 pipes with rivatuner without artifacts. I also took advice and got the Zalman VF700-CU heatsink. I'm very pleased with it as well. I'm running 55C full load at stock speeds. I don't feel the need to overclock atm. Can run BF 2 on high setting 1024x768 without skipping a beat. I also downloaded the Tweaked NGO nvidia drivers and they made a big difference. Ordered monday recieved on wed. I won't buy anywhere else.

Comments: I haven't gotten my rebate yet, but this card would be a good deal for the money even if i never get a check. I was able to unlock the masked vertex unit, but the extra pixel unit created a snow-like artifact against some textures (12x1,6vp). It overclocked to 350/800. Performance is far beyond any other $xxx AGP card.
