Good video card [Posted on 2008-04-21]
After searching many places and reading up on video cards, I finnally decided on the palit. For the price of this card and one gig seems to be amazing. It's a big card, make sure you have clearance. Even in my desktop which has an ample tower I still had to move some wires about to fit it comfortably.
The installation instructions are useless so I have taken a star off for this. The card requires power ran directly to it, and this was not stated anywhere in the ad, the box, or the small paltry booklet that came with it. Thankfully it has this wire in the box, and it has a y so you can just use an existing power supply that is already routed to a fan or so forth. There are other assorted wires, and a tomb raider game.
As for the card, it supports dual desktop, dual view, cloning, and of course, my beloved second life. Just about all I've ever wanted to do with my computer display and my tv can be ran from this one card.
As I'm not a heavy gamer I can't speak for the latest such as crysis, but I can speak for second life, which is graphics intense. With all options full on (reflections, bump mapping, anisotropic filtering, gbo, vector etc.) I'm still able to average 15-20 fps in sl, which is something I've never done before. With the options and extras turned down running at minimum I was able to top the upper echelon at 60fps. Get the latest nvidia drivers.

If palit would just give beter instructions in the booklet or on their website, their cards could really take off here in the states.

Over all card, very happy with my purchase.
Instructions or website support(palit), not happy at all.
