Pros: Decent card. Runs smooth. Upgraded from a X1300 PRO, TONS better. Comes with the Valve black box.

Cons: Web Page didnt state power requirements. Recommended 400W.

Overall Review: Card actually comes with HL2:E2, Portal, TF2, AND DoD:S. Package states it only comes with the first three

Pros: Great Value. Good Price/Performance Ratio. Overclocked to 860/840 from 800/700 using ATI overdrive. OC only kicks in when required. Works well in my HTPC system. Excellent HDTV Picture/Video Quality. S-Video out is also excellent quality

Cons: Install/Setup Problems. Very Old CCC/Drivers on CD crashed my XP MCE 2005 system. Don't even bother with them. Go to AMD/ATI for the latest CCC/XP drivers. The latest drivers worked but I still had problems with S-Video output so I submitted a support ticket to AMI only to find out that this video card was not listed as ATI certified. This lack of certification caused huge hassles with ATI support but I finally got S-Video and everything else to work. Audio feature is useless for me. only 2 Channel PCM and 5.1 only works with PC decoded Dolby AC3. I have to use seperate S/Pdif cable to pass digital 7.1 DTS for decoding on my audio system. No S/PDIF connector on card.

Overall Review: This is an immature card with drivers that are a work in process. For example the latest driver upgrade (7.8 to 7.9) improved performance in popular games from 4 to 27 percent (check the release notes) and fixed a boatload of bugs. Installation and setup was a major PITA but I am still overall happy with this card. Do not follow the included quick install instructions. Skip the CD. Go directly to the AMD website and install the latest catalyst software suite version (7.9 or later) and hopefully you will avoid the problems that I had. Fan Noise is OK at stock speeds. You will know when the OC overdrive clicks in because the fan will get LOUD. 5 stars for performance and value. 1 star for setup and installation.

Pros: This thing plays Bioshock maxed @ 1600x1200. I was not expecting anything like that considering the price of this little card, it also handles Crysis pretty well @ 1024x768 on medium settings

Cons: As with all ATI cards Linux support and performance could be A LOT better

Overall Review: I bought this to hold me out till the next generation of DX10 cards come out, I wasn't expecting much in terms of performance but its really a lot better than I ever would've guessed

Pros: Very cheap for its performance. I quickly noticed an improvement with Windows Aero. Runs Unreal Tournament 3, Gears of War, and Call of Duty 4 at maximum settings without any flaws. World of WarCraft can be maxed out with 8x AA with 50+ FPS, 60+ with 4x. The video card is very quiet; the rest of my computer makes more noise. I really underestimated the power of this card.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Upgraded from an integrated nVidia 6150SE. Vista's Aero Graphics and Gaming Graphics went from 3.2/3.0 to 5.9/5.4.

Pros: 256MB memory, HDMI including 5.1 audio out (change Windows sound properties), fairly quiet, detected my 1080p Sony Bravia without any problems, not a single problem with the ATI-AMD Vista 32-bit drivers (8.391), with Intel Q6600 Blu-ray and HD-DVD playback at 45-50% processor load..before was 90-95% percent

Cons: Was unable to figure out how to run two independent display resolutions under Vista with a VGA output and an HDMI output; test looks better using VGA out than HDMI out

Overall Review: After having this card and realizing audio can be passed over DVI to HDMI, I'm alittle mad and all the lies of the previous generations saying that DVI does not pass audio. This card proves they were liars. Granted, you have to use the included HDMI dongle to get sound, but the point is the sound is really coming from the DVI connector.

Pros: Its cheap and runs newer games at playable frame rates. COD4 I get 125fps at 1024 resolution, with most of the aa off and other detail off. But this is mainly a card for watching hd movies where it passes with flying colors.

Cons: As for the guy below me i had no trouble with anything. And this card is supported by media center edition. As for his sound issue I believe he is talking about ati new way of putting sound on their cards for the transfer through the hdmi to dvi connector. In that case all u have to do is go into ur sound manger and switch back the realtek audio instead of the ati audio.

Overall Review: Cheap middle range what more can u ask for

Pros: What's not to like? Great 3D acceleration and HD support in one package. I picked this card to go along with the Samsung 2220WM 22" widescreen LCD monitor. ATI's LINUX driver package worked great in Ubuntu 7.10, and Sapphire's updated drivers set up easily in Windows XP.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The latest Catalyst driver package from ATI seem to generate mom.exe related errors in Windows XP, even after installing .NET 2.0 - I used the drivers from Sapphire's website instead. Ubuntu's fglrx drivers from the repositories also did not work correctly, which is why I used the LINUX drivers from ATI.

Pros: Price, Runs the Call of Duty 4 demo on highest settings no lag, (zero AA) runs Oblivion (not patched) at a constant 45-55 frames with x2aa and mid-high settings.

Cons: Runs slightly, I repeat, slightly hot. for some reason I cant get the catalyst center to open so i cant get the temps up right now...
