SAPPHIRE Radeon X1650PRO 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100164DDR2L

Pros: Low Cost video for non gaming. Works as you would expect

Cons: Like many video card this card takes up 2 slots. I had to move it to a different machine because I needed the 2nd slot it blocked. These cards should specify the space they take up.

Overall Review: Windows Vista Areo Rating 4.4 Windows Vista Gaming Rating 4.9

Pros: Does what it needs to do, and silently. Cool looking robo-lady graphic on the heatsink. Plays call of duty 4 admirably (not exactly WELL) on all high...a little choppy, but surprising for a card of this price. About 2400 3dmark06 score if I recall

Cons: None that I have noticed.

Overall Review: Not a powerhouse gaming card, but should play any of the new games, if not at amazing settings. 50+fps with everything maxed on HL2: Lost Coast

Pros: Excellent card for the money. Great for gaming at lower resolutions. (1024x768)

Cons: The small frame buffer and relatively slow ram make it a little tougher for higher resolutions. Not direct x 10

Overall Review: Ive been an nvidia fan boy for years now but now im beginning to wonder why. About 3 months ago the vram on my 7900gtx crapped out on me and I needed a new card asap. So I bought this card to get me by until I could afford a 8800. This card certainly didn't disappoint me like I figured it would. In fact it surprised the heck out of me! This card runs everything Ive thrown at it with very decent frame rates! (35-45 with fear at medium settings) If your looking for a cheap gaming card this is the one to get.

Pros: Easy installation. Works great, runs video presentation software like a champ.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: Not doing any heavy lifting with it, but it does what I need it to do.

Pros: Quiet, not too hot, and cheap. Runs better than I expected. It handles LOTRO on high graphics with virtually no lag. Runs better than the 256m/256bit X800GTO that it replaced. Great card for a budget gamer.

Cons: none whatsoever...

Overall Review: I can't get over what a great card this is for the price. Also New Egg got it shipped to me in 2 days after I ordered it (with 3 day UPS shipping!), even though I waited until the last second for Rush order to be allowed for that day! I never buy from anyone but New Egg and this is why!

Pros: Fan is quiet, most of the time you don't even notice it. It gets to a bout 60-63F degrees on max fan speed. I don't play a lot of games, so I dont know its full gaming capabilities. I only play counter-strike 1.6. On CS1.6 it drops 99-100 constant with all max video card settings. Okay low budget card, not amazing, but good enough for me.

Cons: It SAYS "GDDR2", but its really DDR2. Only 400mhz memory clock. Came with 600/400, i had to overclock it just to get something that satisfies me. Now running at 635/945.

Overall Review: Get ATI Tray Tools instead of Catalyst Control Center. More options.

Pros: easy set up, painless as a matter of fact. Good ludget video card. I only play Counter-Strike 1.6, so im not sure about its gaming abilities. In cs1.6 it manages to still maintain a 100fps constant with all video card settings high. Good low budget gamer. Constant 64f degrees with 100% fan speed. The fan is quiet, most of the time you cant even hear it...

Cons: Although the core clock is pretty high, at 600. The memory clock is low as hell, 400. It came to me with 594mz core clock and 397mhz memory clock. I over clocked it, its now running perfect at 614mhz core clock, and 918 memory clock.

Overall Review: Dont install ATI Catalyst Controller, it sucks. Use Guru3D's ATI Tray tools.

Pros: Simple installation. This card will run Crysis at medium settings, Bioshock at maximum, Prey at maximum, World of Warcraft at maximum, all with a framerate that averages about 40FPS.

Cons: Unfortunately 12 pixel pipelines is no longer enough.

Overall Review: Download the latest catalyst drivers rather than use the outdated ones one the disc.
