Upgraded to two and it still worked great but acted a little weird. After I entered a third card into the mix the cards went crazy and stopped working, or two of them atleast. I called HIS support and they were prompt to get me an RMA number. I'm still waiting on my cards to return, apparently they had bad RAMDAC on both of the bad ones. from Amazon.com Pros: Good performance for the money, very quite, plays Mass Effect with ease. Cons: None so far. Other Thoughts: Bought this for my sister, the fan on my old x1950pro she was using gave out and need a cheap replacement. Nice gpu for a light gamer. from Newegg.com Cons: Did not come with memory heatsinks and it was not free. Other Thoughts: I purchased the Scythe USA SCVCH-1000 VGA Chip Heatsinks which help with the cooling. I also have it in a set it and forget it not for LAN NZXT Rouge case which I modded with a Front 80mm Fan and I took about a 1/2 inch of metal off the back or more from over the PCI slots to make the card slide in easier. from Newegg.com Pros: Inexpensive and will run most games at high settings under 1680x1050 resolution. Cons: You don't get the card that is pictured. from Newegg.com Pros: I bought this card to replace my 7300 le (came with my dell), and now I can play my games all on max setting. I am currently able to play Left 4 Dead at 100+ (40/50 the lowest) fps with max setting, and AAX4. I think my CPU is bottle necking and causing a bit lower fps - my PC is 3 years old. Lastly, this card runs cool and it is very quiet. from Newegg.com Pros: Bought it mainly to upgrade my old 8400 GS in my spare PC so my kids could play Age of Conan with me, and it worked out WAY better than i hopes. Its running in a PCIx16 1.0 slot even, and on a 400 watt power supply, with a pentium E 2.0ghz dual core, and this thing plays AoC on highest settings, w/o AA though, at 1440 x 900 res at a smooth 35-50 FPS. I didn't expect it be that good, being a underpowered and choked down to a 1.0 slot but i am impressed. from Newegg.com Pros: (these frames were with stock speeds)-comes with stalker clear sky, which i like a lot-runs Clear sky at 40-70 fps @ 1280x1024 res settings on maximum, full HDR, (high dynamic range)-runs CS:S at 150-200+ fps at 1280x1024 res settings on max, full HDR-stays cool, idles at 34c-36c, in game temps are around mid 40c's-very, very quite i can barely hear it. fan running at 50% Cons: as soon as i bought it it dropped 8 bucks. from Newegg.com Pros: the 4830 series gives the highest performance per dollar right now. Comparible in performance to a 9800 gt (rebadged 8800 gt) but significantly cheaper. from Newegg.com Cons: No crossfire bridge. Good thing I read other posts and they said the same thing . Nice of Newegg to sell a crossfire bridge seperately - H. I. from Newegg.com Pros: Quiet, stays relatively cool in my case, etc. Cons: Can't make toast with it (see above). Other Thoughts: As this is reviewing the manufacturer's product as opposed to ATI's Linux support, this seems the best place to mention that while it normally works fine with fglrx and not very well but not poorly with xf86-video-ati you will probably run into random crashes and occasional screen corruption with some regularity. from Newegg.com
