Quiet card and solid performance for the $125 price. Runs fairly cool during longer gaming sessions.
Moving up from and 8600GT, the card was a little longer then expected. Due to my case style I have to shuffle the hard drives to make room.
Tested in various games with an average frame rate of ~75 FPS. Reached a high of 165FPS in Company of Heroes at 1680x1050 with all settings at max. Did see some frame rates around 20 - 25 fps in some games but was unable to determine what caused this. No stuttering or graphic tearing was seen.
Set up with an AMD X2 5600+ (2.9ghz) and 4gb (2x2gb) Crucial DDR2-800.
Plays most games out there with decent frame rates. Not bad performance for the money.
This card runs hot! (65 C to 72 C under a load). My case is a Cooler Master Centurion 5 and it has enough fans (also added a PCI slot fan, too). The heatsink/fan does not work work as well as the dual-slot GTX 260. Had no problems with the GTX 260 going over 56 C. Studders when it gets hot on COD WAW.
If it ran a bit cooler, it would be awesome. Cooling design really holds this card back from being stellar.
