ASUS Radeon HD 3450 DirectX 10.1 EAH3450/HTP/512M 512MB 64-Bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Inexpensive adapter that works with the ASUS card to give DVI-HDMI video/audio

Cons: Expensive shipping if you have to order the adapter by itself. ASUS should have included the adapter with the Retail Graphics Card in the first place - come on ASUS, including this adapter in the retail package won't make or break the cost of the card!

Overall Review: Newegg.com sells the HIS Hightech DVI to HDMI Adapter for HD3K Series Model HHDMI4071 which will provide HDMI video & audio for the ASUS EAH3450/HTP garphics cards. Simply deactivate the onboard sound, install the newest ATI Catalyst suite (v8.5) and Realtek HDMI device driver (v1.92), and you'll have 5.1 audio through HDMI!

Pros: Works great, I have a well ventilated case, so I haven't had any issues with heat on this fanless card. Hybrid with my ASRock AMD board's 780G Radeon 3200 IGPU chipset.

Cons: Neither Vista Ultimate or Windows 7 x64 gives me an Aero rating of higher than 3.6... Not that this matters, but it annoys me that the hybrid setup runs circles around any GUI hurdles Windows could throw at it, but because Windows must get confused around the hybrid Crossfire setup, it turns my Windows basescore to 3.6 (everything else is high 5's, low 6's).... Again, I realize the windows score doesn't matter, but it annoys me.

Overall Review: When (and if) I finally get my rebate, this card will have cost like $20 or $30. Good value if you don't need some super powerful card, or if you're trying to hybrid crossfire.

Pros: Put this card in a Asus M3A78-EM multimedia board which supports Hybrid CrossfireX and it works great. Customer I built this computer for loves it playing movies on his 60" LCD tv. I have found that trying to stay within my customers final cost restrictions, using a board and video card that supports Hybrid Crossfire X or Hybrid SLI yields some pretty good performance for the money. Of course a HD 4870 would beat the pants off hybrid anything but like I said, cost restrictions are the mother of invention....

Cons: It does run a little hot. Installing a fan wouldn't hurt. There are different ways to do it. I had an old Pentium III heatsink and the way that the fan mounted on it was perfect for mounting on the fins on this video card heatsink.

Overall Review: I have used plastic ties and thick paper clips bent in the right way to hold the fan on to heatsinks. I have drilled holes strategically placed to screw the fan to the heatsinks on different cards. As long as what you do holds the fan on securely with no chance of coming loose you should be ok. I wish the video card manufacturers would allow for an optional fan mount on cards with no fan. I know they are designed to be silent with no fan but the case that the card goes into may not allow for enough air circulation around the card and a fan is necessary. A fan mount option should not add much to the cost of the card....

Pros: Great Price. Used for a light computer user. Has great graphics for the price. Definetly a good video card upgrade from onboard video.

Cons: Can't think of any

Pros: Inexpensive, great build quality, quiet - no fan, fast enough to play new games on fair settings (720 x 480, low textures, all the extras turned on, 4xAA) on a 4 year old P4 machine running XP. Replaced an old All-In-Wonder. Installed in minutes. No glitches on reboot. Highly recommend for those on a tight budget.

Cons: Not as fast as the $500 boards Who would've guessed

Pros: High quality card for low price Enough said

Cons: Card info on site show it as a pci x16 while the box says its pci x16 2.0. Not really a problem though

Overall Review: 5 stars main because the only con didn't cause me any problems. Paid for 2 day shipping got the card the next day. Most likely due to the fact that it was shipper from tenesse which is very close to my state.

Pros: Great little card for workstation as a stand alone... installed this along side a ATI 3200 IGP in an Asrock 780GXE for a hybrid crossfire machine. Worked great! OVERCLOCKED ON BOARD GRAPHICS WITH THIS AND THEY ROCK FOR WHAT THEY ARE Used an AMD 6000+, 4gb OCZ and this card with a 500GB HDD and you simply could not ask for a better machine for general use, light gaming or a great home theater.

Cons: Performance is a bit slow as a stnd alone graphics card but that is to be expected. Would not run 4 monitors in conjuction with on board graphics although it should have with no problem.

Overall Review: The Hybrid CrossfireX technology is new but it works great, it is a good way to get some performance with out spending hundreds of dollars for a graphics solution allowing you to spend more of your money where it will do the most good.

Pros: Beautiful video, huge heatsink.

Cons: Manual CD did not work. Killed onboard sound. Had to disable ATI HD audio to get any sound.

Overall Review: Works great, don't let it install audio driver. Audio driver does not show in Control Panel Remove Hardware so even if you uninstall the video driver it's still there. Warning: Card is very large.
