Pros: Lets me play Oblivion with a single card. I can't do SLI on my motherboard, and I needed the fastest single card solution I could find. The x1900GT gave it to me. Tried two cards using the 7900 Nividia chip, because a lot of folks seem to like Nividia. Card one was bad, and card two kept crashing with Oblivion and just didn't perform well. (thanks for the RMA's Newegg!) I decided to go ATI, and I haven't looked back. Faster core clock speed of 575Mhz was a selling point, and card has worked great right out of the box.

Cons: Can't think of any. Some might say the fan is loud when running at 100%, but I always have headphones on when gaming, and it's inaudible during normal computing chores.

Overall Review: This card can be mildly overclocked without problems, and on Oblivion it's giving quite acceptable gameplay on High video quality (not Ultra High, though) with distant redering turned off, shadows dialed back, etc. For a single slot solution, I recommend it highly

Pros: Pros: Price, value for medium level games. Quiet, cool runner.

Cons: Cons: 128-bit MI, only 320 stream processing units.

Overall Review: I had to return this card (thanks, Newegg!), mostly because I got pulled in by the 1GB memory and the price, and didn’t fully research the specs. Latest drivers & chipset updates, and this guy froze up on The Witcher the first time I played (medium settings). Found out that to get that 1GB RAM, this card “borrows” from your system RAM, and some off your motherboard as well (according to a computer literate friend). This can stress a lot of systems. I see that others have been able to get high frame rates, but that wasn't my experience (did not try OC on this card). I’ve got 3GB RAM in my system, and with my old card (ATI x1950 Pro), I was able to play The Witcher and Oblivion on medium settings quite well. But I wanted to play at the higher settings, and didn’t look much beyond that 1GB memory spec. 320 stream processing units aren't much either (vs. more like 800 on higher end cards), so check it all out before you buy.
