SAPPHIRE Radeon X1600PRO DirectX 9 100144ADVL 256MB 128-Bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 CrossFire Video Card

Pros: For the price I couldn't beat this card. I like Saphire products. Installation was a breeze. A good medium duty card. All my older 3D games (UT4, Quake, Serious Sam) play nicely at max settings, making gameplay a breeze and details more beautiful and making them fun again. It made me realize how much my old card was holding me back. This card is crossfire ready. Low power consumption so doesn't require an extra PCIexpress power connector to give it enough juice and keeps the temperatures in the case down.

Cons: Frame rates on some of the newer games slow a bit at max settings, but it plays them at regular settings very well.

Overall Review: I did try the drivers that came on the disk first. They installed ok and things seemed alright, but I downloaded the latest drivers from ATI and things seem to work better with the games. No benchmarks, just anecdotal observation. I was curious what the thing actually looked like since Newegg only shows the back of the card in the photo. It is unlike some of the other Saphire cards with pictures of red or blue eyed aliens on it. It on the packageInstead it is a somewhat ordinary heatsink and fan. It really doesn't make a difference to me either way, I was just curious.

Pros: Upgraded from an old agp mobo to a pci-e crossfire one, and right now i'm only running one of these. i had the same card (agp version) in my old system, and there's really just a vast improvement on the pci-e slot card. it's way faster than its agp counterpart.

Cons: it's not an x1600xt, and it's only 256mb. a 512 would have been nice, but when it came to increasing the price by at least 125% to get a decent one, it wasn't worth it.

Overall Review: My other crossfire card is going to be an x1600xt, because it uses GDDR3 and has a much faster core. i reccomend buyin an xt over the pro edition because they're just that much faster. but for the money, this card's unbeatable.

Pros: the card worls like a dream, and also comes with all sorts of cables, pretty much for anything that you need to do like run it to yout big screen TV, for example. it was easy to put it and install and I liked the fact that the board was a bluish color, that was really cool also

Cons: took over 3 days, like Newegg promised, but no worries

Overall Review: if you want a good card that'll play any game you throw at it, but dont want to spend a lot of money, then this is the card for you

Pros: I can play Battlefield 2 at 1280 everything set on High quality and AA to 6X!!! Everything MAxed out! Definitly much faster graphics card than I expected. I bought this for the mean time until DX10 cards come down in price. GREAT investment!

Cons: None at all!

Overall Review: This card does have a fan on the heatsink. Have not tried to overclock yet, waiting to burn it in first. This graphics card is built with: Asus P5b-E mobo; Intel Core 2 duo E6600; 2GB G.Skill 6400 memory; seagate 7200.10 400GB HD; Ultra xconnect X2 550watt psu.!

Pros: Small, my last card was a HIS IceQ HUGE! Dual output seems to work well.

Cons: I was disapointed in the fan. Of course the picture did not show the top side of the card.

Overall Review: Newegg as always comes through. I wish they would go back to the 3 day fedex pricing, if I ordered on Monday, I would recieve Wednesday. Now I am lucky if I get it Friday :-(. Thank you for doing a great job Newegg!

Pros: Upgrade from an X800, this thing can run all my games on high/maxed without any lagg or slowdowns. Extremely easy install, everything went as smooth as possible during install and setup.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: It's not shown in the pictures but yes this card does have a heat sink/fan on it and it works perfectly. Can't wait to get another so I can use crossfire with these.

Pros: Again, I replaced my AGP X700pro. Although I still got this when it had the rebate (from $xxx to $xx), I am now able to play BF 2142 max everything with the slightest bit of choppiness, however, you can still snipe smoothly. The choppiness is so small its nearly negligable.

Cons: None so far, thats a good sign!

Overall Review: Sapphire is ATI's most loyal partner, ergo, you can't go wrong with sapphire.

Pros: price is reasonably low. and decent perfermance as long as you do not do high-end gaming

Cons: got around 2000 with 3dmark06. Low fps with some games. I didn't OC.

Overall Review: E6600, Gigabyte-p965-ds3, cosiar 2x1G pc6400 mem.
