Out standing for a Low profile
Pros: This thing is outstanding, and out performed my expectations. I have this card running off of a 280 watt PS, so dont be turned away when it says 300 watt reccomended fits perfectly in the case!! and ya dont need a PCIE power cord...
Cons: This baby gets HOT it should be a down fall but with everything MAXED out as far as AA, Mip mapping etc.. and the core overclocked to max and same with memory..... EVIL lil card...on that note of getting HOT, this case is not the best ventilated.
Overall Review: I wouldent call this game Really demanding and i dont have the program to tell you the frame rates.. but with settings maxed out as said above and with ingame settings set to max, resolution to 1440x900 this beast owned Bioshock like it was nothing. Broken lenovo pc umm thinkcenter 57M.. its estounding what new memory will do, E6550 2.33ghz, 4 gigs of PNY PC2 6400, blu ray rom, 500 gig hdd and this beast of a video card!! and running windows Vista home premium
Pretty good
Pros: Good price, low profile, and fits into most over head storage bins.
Cons: Im not sure if you can see it in the pictures but in the middle of the card is the 2 screws.... the rest of the set up just "sits" on the card, basically its not firmly on there getting all the heat away from the die. and if you had a lil oppsie like i did and had the cord in the middle of the heat sink and the card..... yea it gets hot...
Overall Review: other than that i put this to the test, maxed out all settings, then maxed out settings in Bioshock, 1440x900 on a 930 pentium D... 3.0 ghz 2 gigs of ram on a MSI board, with 80 gig hdd and a dvd r/w drive, the game laughed.... and settings to normal on 1024x765 it ran like a champ with no issues. Playes Blu ray like a champ too. its Silky Smooth
Good case...
Pros: everything fits nicely.... if you have everything in SATA...
Cons: HEAT... lots of it
Overall Review: the power supply fan is doing a bad job at removing heat from the whole right side of the case..... ie... VIDEO card. and the left side has no fan and relies on the heat sink/fan to push hot air out..... the case could have been opened up a lil more and some fans put on the back or something to get rid of all this heat, other than that its a pretty good product... needs a lil modding to make it perfect
Cheap and works nicely
Pros: Its cheap, and it works
Cons: Dunno yet... ill let you know when i have a meltdown
Overall Review: not really sure, its a cheap computer with cheap parts and cheap memory... so far its workin out pretty good
Not Bad.....for PCI
Pros: To be honest it does what its advertised, works with Vista, the only bad part to it is Nvidia does not have support drivers for that OS.I have it in a budget media center rig.
Cons: PCI, Shows up as 1.0 under vista....
Overall Review: I bought a slim case that i will be writing a review on here shortly... How much of a budget.... 1 gig of ram, Emachine mobo unknown brand intel chipset, 2.8 ghz celeron, and a 80 gig hdd and tv tuner card . and it works perfectly, dont knock it till you tryit
