Pros: Fanless Cons: I could not get this card to work with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition (RTM Build 7600). The operating system would install but then soon the screen would just go blank. Other Thoughts: Inserting another graphics card would confirm that it was the video as the other video card worked. This is the second ATI-based video card that I've had problems with on Windows 7. from Newegg.com One died. Easy install except for drivers. Card died after one week, still waiting on Gigabyte for repairs. Other Thoughts: Still can't get CCC to open on the remainging good card. from Newegg.com Pros: Better software/driver package than NvidiaSo cheap, providing I get my rebate, that I won't have to RMA it. HDMI audio works but is pretty low volume.
