Pros: Excellent 2D and 3D performance. Runs at a cool 38C in conjunction with a Rocket V cooler in an empty PCI slot. System is 28C ambient. from Newegg.com Pros: Bought one for another build last month. Couldn't get it to work but had onboard video. Used that. from Newegg.com Cons: None. Running a little warm to the touch, but as I'm not demanding screaming performance thought a fan-less card would be OK. Other Thoughts: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard Western Digital Caviar SE WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard DriveIntel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8500Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR800D2N5K2/4GSPARKLE SFPX95GT512U2HP GeForce 9500 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card Orion XPOWER585 585W ATX 12V 2.01 Power SupplyHEC 7106WW Beige White Steel ATX Desktop Computer Case OS Name Microsoft? Windows Vista™ Home PremiumVersion 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001 from Newegg.com Pros: Sturdy and efficient fanless heatsink leading to naturally quiet operation. It keeps cool even I reduced the voltages (and thus speeds) of 120 mm rear exhaustion fan and 80 mm front intake fan from 12 volt to 7 volt to keep all quiet. The heatsink reduces 5 - 6 degree Celsius compared to the cheap and flimsy heatsink attached to its sister card (1GB memory version). Performs as good as expected. from Newegg.com Pros: been running this card for little over,dayand a half seems to be working, fine I only use it for web surfing some video work editing pictures and videos online video chat Cons: none so far Other Thoughts: after using it on my computer, touch the heat sink after 20 hours of use, and only a little warm not hot, for sure I would say. It would make, a nice card for every day use only giving 4 stars haven't had it long enought from Newegg.com I received the card is quite different from the pictures shown on the side. The original heatsink of this model has larger size to provide better GPU cooling. from Amazon.com Pros: been running this card for little over,dayand a half seems to be working, fine I only use it for web surfing some video work editing pictures and videos online video chat Cons: none so far from Newegg.com Pros: Bought one for another build last month. Couldn't get it to work but had onboard video. Used that. from Newegg.com Pros: Easy installation, impressive improvement over stock integrated graphics on flight simulators such as Combat Flight Simulator 2 third party aircraft and amazing difference on Silent Hunter graphics. Cons: None. Running a little warm to the touch, but as I'm not demanding screaming performance thought a fan-less card would be OK.
