HIS Radeon HD 4350 DirectX 10.1 H435F512HA 512MB 64-Bit DDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: Works in Ubuntu 10.10 (x86) with HDMI Audio. Plays 1080p '.mkv's'. Also plays most yootube 720p video's w/o massive dropped frames since much of the HD Flash content is now offloaded to GPU (very unexpected), I've yet to hear the GPU fan over my CPU fan. Does what I expected, will keep this box usable for a couple more years.

Cons: Price. We're getting shafted because we have no better AGP option. Even OC'd to 3.61ghz still can't play 1080p youtube videos (it maxes the CPU & looks like a slide-show), not unexpected. Playback is not perfect on all videos, scenes with lots of camera movement or high motion close-ups (every pixel needs re-rendered for every frame) on 720p looks like a slide-show. 'VLC Player' worked perfect with previous card and opensource 'radeon' driver. Now motion is quite jerkey & dialogue sync is sometimes off. Switched to 'gxine.real' player. It's not near as nice a player, but HD picture is flawless (except high motion as noted above). The ATI 'fglrx' driver comes with underscan enabled which causes lost screen real-estate (black bars around edges). There is a fix, I haven't tried it yet. Haven't had a chance to run "$ sudo ati-config --initial -f" yet. Things might get better once I do.

Overall Review: This machine is a game-free HTPC. ASUS P4P800-E Dlx, Intel P4 3.0 HT, 2.5gb RAM, DVD-RW (no BlueRay ROM), 52" Sony Bravia 1080p HDTV. Got 'Purple Screen of Death' at install connected to HDTV. Had to connect CRT monitor & boot from Grub2 into recovery mode in order to undo all the config changes made for previous ATI X850XT PE card. Then installed propriatery Linux 'fglrx' driver from Ubuntu repository and BAM! For HDMI audio all I did was select it in the sound-control panel and it's perfection. Easy and an unexpected BONUS!! I found conflicting info on the opensource driver. One wiki.ubuntu said the only driver that will work for this card (and a couple other PCI-E backported to AGP cards) is the 'fglrx'. Another 'redeon' page listed this card on a list of supported cards. But opensource 'radeon' driver didn't work for me.

Pros: Good price for HDMI

Cons: Once you get past the BSOD works great. The MS default drivers cause the BSOD unless you are in safe mode. The trick is to copy the "packages" folder outside of the install CD and from safe mode update the driver looking in the packages folder. Once you get it installed your fine.

Pros: Price, ATI Radeon

Cons: None for now

Overall Review: I usually get "things" to work... No problem for me with Win 7 Pro/Enterprise I know that it loaded the win7 driver...but I just went to HIS website, downloaded latest hot fix driver, and ran the install. I did not have problems, as others have mentioned, but if you're a win freak, you know how to deal with drivers, safe mode, installing vga drivers etc, but did NOT need to-- been on now 24/7 for weeks. I needed a win 7 low profile card, didn't want to pay any more. This was a new install in small case server with non supported on board vga...glad I tried it. Good Luck

Pros: Works in my ancient Pentium 3 system. i can actually watch high-def video on Youtube!

Cons: Took a bunch of patience to get it to work.

Overall Review: The drivers on the disk didn't work. The latest from AMD didn't work. The slightly older 10-7 drivers from the H.I.S. website DID work! Don't give up!

Pros: Low profile brackets included Bus powered Low noise/temps

Cons: Bus powered (needs at least 15amps on 12v) Low profile brackets lose at least one connection Price

Overall Review: Overpriced, considering that the pci-e model is around $50 and this was $75 @ purchase (reason for the 1 egg). I just needed it for an older board that lost it's agp card. Other than that, it is a good card. It plays 1080p video and does some decent dx9/10 gaming @ mainline res (1280x1024 4:3, or 1440x900 16:10) with low to moderate settings. You get what you pay for and for agp, it's not that bad. It actually is pretty good.

Pros: Never got it too work

Cons: Never got it too work

Overall Review: My power supply is 400 watts. This card needs 500 watts. Can you say read everything before you buy. My 30 day returns has expired. I will have to sell it, but at the top I will state in very bold letters 500 WATTS NEEDED.

Pros: HDMI Output, Windows 7 Drivers work eventually, revived my old computer

Cons: It is a P.I.T.A. to figure out how to install the drivers correctly. The driver Win 7 downloads causes BSOD. ATI hotfix drivers that are supposed to fix the "card not recognized" issue,

Overall Review: If you don't know how to mess with drivers and Safe Mode, or don't have the time, find a different card or buy an updated computer. Otherwise,I Followed Billroy's advise in these reviews, and now my 6 year old Gateway 818GM system, updated to Win 7 looks good again.

Pros: Not sure, card didn't work in PC I bought it for. The card did boot and worked in other PCs than the one I bought it for.

Cons: This card failed to work in either a Compaq D510 SFF or an HP D530 SFF PC. Both gave bios error codes for video. The only thing I can figure is that the other PCs this card worked in supplied more power to the AGP slot than did these HPs. I tried my old 9700Pro with an external power connector in these PCs, and the PCs booted fine with that.

Overall Review: Sorry for the sparse review. I bet this card would be nice for an HPC computer, but I never got so far as to actually test it out.
