Great card for budget PC

Excelent performance for the $$, good overclock performance.

No software included (except drivers disk), only 1 dvi/vga converter.

Purchased card as part of budget gaming rig (3500+, 1 gig Corsair Value Select, etc.). Great performance so far. Runs BF2 (high/medium custom 1280?x960? (one right below 1600X1200) 2aa), HL2 maxed, Doom3 maxed with no problems. Coolbits recomended OC on mine was 590mHz/1.18GHz, which gives about a 14% improvement on 3DMark2005. Runs around 48 C under load OC. Overall, I'm very pleased with this card (considering the price) and with newegg (great shipping).

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Not bad but will soon be dated

Low price, good to decent performance for current games, fast clock speeds. Plays all older games flawlessly. Overclocks decently. Great for those on a budget. Quality of card seems just fine. Card isn't huge and power hungry. (no additional power connectors necessary) Gaming aside it handles everything else just fine also.

In my opinion the fan is really loud. Four 120mm fans in my case running at low rpms and this card's fan is by far the loudest thing in there, not to say it's unbearable but its not quiet. When it comes to gaming it's already showing signs of age. 128MBs of memory really hurts when it comes to current and future games.

If you are a gamer on a really tight budget and don't mind sacrificing pure eye candy for gameplay, this card isn't a bad choice. But if you have the $ I'd say spend a bit more for the 7 series or the 6800GS or the ati equivalents. I dont believe it'd be a great value to put 2 of these into sli mode in the future but I haven't tried so I wouldn't really know what to expect. All in all I'm satisfied with the quality of this product.
