5 of 5 Good Mid-Range Solution Saturday, July 05, 2008
SimsTech from USA (EST Zone)
This is an excellent solution with a great asking price. It's fast, nice and quiet. It can handle casual and mid-range games with ease, and its amount of on-board memory is recommended for those on the resource-demanding Vista.
This video card is compatible with a 300W power supply, and it's one of the best solutions availble for those with this power supply capacity; which is typically retail computers at the $1200 range and below.
If you need a great solution for mid-range gaming, or to simply enhance the performance of Vista, this is the solution to get. Of course, performance on XP is great with this video card as well. Was this review helpful?

3 of 5 Less bang for your buck Sunday, February 10, 2008
A Customer from Las Cruces, NM
Normally for a video card like this, I wouldn't give it a low rating for the reason I did this time because it's supposed to be a mid-range video card and not a high-end. It does perform exactly how it's meant to, it doesn't heat up much, and because of the 512 memory I can set most current PC games to max settings at 1280x1024. However, it's value is not so much: for the same price or less you can get a quality 8800GTS, so it's value is less. It's partially my fault for not looking for a better deal to begin with, but oh well. don't make my mistake, check out MSI's NX8800GTS series, the 320meg is $199 if you shop smart!
