Great price for a great card [Posted on 2008-03-27]
This card was a huge upgrade for my system, and I'd recommend it to anyone at this price. I'd never installed a graphics card before, but it wasn't difficult. I'm playing every game i own at high framerates with every setting maxed out. I haven't tested it yet, but supposedly it can handle Crysis (by far the most demanding game out right now) at medium settings.

Important: Unless you already have a good one, expect to upgrade your power supply when you buy this. XFX recommends you use a 500 watt power supply (600w for SLI). Don't buy a generic one either, they are notoriously bad quality. A good one costs around $60 and up.

Excellent card! Excellend price! [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I picked this up with a rebate so it was fairly cheap, though the performance is remarkable for the price. This thing kicks major butt in Crysis and pretty much anything else.

The one flaw it seems to have is a poorly programmed cooler that only speeds up once the temps have reached nearly critial ranges. I highy recommend reprogramming the fan controller settings in the bios or else using a 3rd part app to keep it cooler, especially for overclocking, which it is also excelent at. I was able to pull off 700/1000 up from 640/950! (and this model is already OC'd from 600/900 stock speed)

It does need a pretty good power supply, but i can run it just fine with a 305W in my Dell E521 without any issues, so make sure you have adequate amps on your +12v rail and you'll be fine. The single slot design works great with those dumb Dell BTX chassis' that do not allow for dual slot solutions to fit at all.

Great card [Posted on 2008-07-02]
I bought this card to install on an old computer, I ended up sending it back. I got a new computer, the Gateway FX series with the same card. It is blazing. It has no hangups. I don't think that it can tackle Crysis without flaws, but nothing really can, from what I hear. Well worth getting. Make sure you know the slot before you buy one, though, or you are going to be sending it back!
