Very Pleased!
Pros: I'm not a hard-core gamer, so this card works great for me. Now playing "Alan Wake" on super hi-res settings & this thing rocks! Very glad I bought it from New Egg. Got it for a good price. (on sale)
Cons: Windows 7 Pro installed the drivers automatically. But I thought the drivers on the CD might be more up-to-date. I was wrong. While installing drivers from CD I got the BSD (Blue Screen of Death). PC rebooted automatically and said it recovered from a fatal error. The overclocking app loaded fine. Didn't do anything after this, but just used the card.
Overall Review: Like the fact also there is no extra power cable needed for card and that it is silent until it heats up which has never happened to me while playing the above game.
Doesn't work with Dish Network Echostar
Pros: Looks like the original only smaller.
Cons: I have a Dish Network Echostar DVR Receiver about 2 yrs old. The remote is labeled "20.1 IR". However no matter what I tried this remote won't work. It won't even accept any codes! Your suppose to hit the Sat button until all the mode buttons flash. That works. Enter 3 digit code. Done. Then press "#" and it's suppose to flash 3 times meaning it accepted the code. Never does!!!! Tried everything. BTW, there are NO codes for Echostar either. I give up. :^(
Overall Review: Don't buy. Doesn't seem to work.
