I ordered because I wanted to use HDMI cable but it did not work at all. Video iam able to watch but audio dont work. from Amazon.com I thought I had done something wrong and spent two hours messing around, but after contacting customer support they told me to return the card and get a new one. The replacement worked fine. It is a little confusing to set up dual display. Extended display works fine, but I have had a few problems getting a true Clone set up. from Amazon.com I use my desktop PC for gaming and advanced pro-level photographic applications, including Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom (among other processing software). My <2-year-old PC is already a pretty fast machine, with an Intel 3.4 gig CPU and 2 gigs of RAM and on-board ATI-200, but it was straining and choppy with the graphics of current games like NWN2 MOB. On the other hand, I didn't want to spend $300 - $600 for a graphics card to upgrade a computer that only cost about $500 to begin with. from Amazon.com Great card for watching Blu-ray movies works great and even has an HDMI output. The card runs at 600 mhz for the GPU and from Amazon.com I am very pleased with this card so far. I love the fact that it is passively cooled, so you can watch even the quietest movies without having to listen to fans thrumming away. The performance is good considering the price, and the inclusion of an HDMI output is great. However, there is one caveat that keeps this from getting 5 stars - you cannot use the HDMI and VGA outputs simultaneously! from Amazon.com Pros: Provides the hardware acceleration needed to play back BD and HD-DVD movies and supports sound over HDMI on some TV's. Cons: ATI support is poor. from Newegg.com Pros: Reliable handling of HDCP, awakens correctly from standby mode, excellent detail and color rendition, smooth and clean video, no fan, very good utility software, excellent price, easy install. Cons: Haven't gotten the HDMI audio to work yet (and yes, I did install the latest Realtek driver software). from Newegg.com great value and performance from a proven supplier in ati radeon. from Amazon.com graphics desktop performance 3.5 from Amazon.com the performance is good considering the price, and the inclusion of an hdmi output is great. from Amazon.com
