Comments: I've had this thing for 3 months now and everything is just fine. I've overclocked it to 550/575 on stock cooling and it runs stable, versus the stock 475/450. Go to techpowerup .com for a great overclocking utility. I'm buying a set of RAM heatsinks for it today, and possibly a new HS/Fan for the core. Everything looks great, can run max settings on Half-Life 2 Lost Coast demo, which uses the new HDR lighting effects. Alot better card than the Nxxxia 6600 series, which runs for roughly the same price.

Comments: Runs almost everything at max specs, has some trouble at upwards of 1600x1200 though. Best thing is that the S-Video and Composite in connectors display with NO LAG AT ALL!!! (Great if you plan on hooking up a PS2, Xbox etc.)

Pros: the chipset has nice specs, good price/value ratio

Cons: the one i received didn't work well - there were artifacts all over the screen, during post and during windows session

Overall Review: maybe just a bad card... but this is my second lemon with sapphire so no more of that. i rma'd the card, the replacement is being auctioned out and i ordered gf 6800 gs. haven't lost faith in ati, just in sapphire

Pros: Runs all the games I play really well (although I'll admit I don't play the really graphically demanding games).

Cons: Can't think of anything.

Overall Review: Good middle-of-the-line type video card, if you're like me and don't care to pay the "early adopter penalty".

Pros: i have the core OC'd from 475 to 625 and the mem OC'd from 450 to 580. i run x850xtpe stock speeds with stock cooling. talk about a golden card

Cons: none

Overall Review: most cards probably won't be as good as mine. i got soo lucky. great card though. ati FTW

Pros: If it worked it would have been good

Cons: DOA

Overall Review: Spring the extra $x for the retail package.

Pros: Great card if it works.

Cons: There's a much higher chance that these OEM cards will have problems. For things like graphics cards, I'd say spring the extra 5 bucks for the retail version

Overall Review: This card was part of a brand new computer, and when I got it all put together, the display was messed up. After a bit, I figured out that it was a bad graphics card. Newegg was very cooperative. I bought the retail version of this card and then RMA'd this one without any problems.

Pros: Dual monitor support, PCI Express, Price, fast shipping

Cons: Small hitches in Half life 2

Overall Review: This card was a great value. Sure it is not super blazing, but it runs most new games (Half Life 2, Splinter Cell 3, etc) at full settings great. In fact, the only game where I get noticable slowdown is SimCity 4!!!
