Pros: This card is great! I played COD Modern Warfare and it works great on max. I am sure it will support other games if not on max, it will work on high. Cons: There is no con that I can tell. from Newegg.com Played Battlefield 2142 with all settings maxed. Quiet fan?? Cons: Turn computer on/ 10 seconds later fan begins to spin very slowly/ several minutes later fan stops spinning/ Open case/ spin up fan using my finger and fan continues to spin/ several minutes later fan stops spinning/ repeat... Other Thoughts: I've always used Nvidia for my builds. from Newegg.com Pros: Matched up for crossfire X configuration on an MSI GD70 Mobo and AMD/ATI chipsets, these GPU's rendered very smoothly at default settings. They both idle at between 38 c and 41 c and max out at between 68 c and 69 c Overclocked at 739mhz Core/890mhz Memory. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap, got it from Newegg for $42 Cons: Blue screens occurred frequently on Windows 7 and Windows XP when watching movies. After contacting the company, I was notified that I need pay $15 for warranty processing. from Newegg.com Pros: I got this card to replace my aging X1900 Cf. I was also pleased to find that this card works great with my OSX86 Leopard setup. from Newegg.com Pros: Handles Flight Simulator X without a problemCost vs performance really can't be beat Cons: Not the ultimate gamer cardHeat sink/fan is a bit big Other Thoughts: In my previous computer system, I had this same chipset in an AGP card and it gave OK performance. I was really surprised to see FSX (which ran very slow on my old computer) run with everything maxed out. from Newegg.com Pros: -Incredible value. $50AR for a good 512MB card!-Crossfire compatible.-Will max out most games thrown at it.-Build quality is excellent. Sturdy and strong. from Newegg.com Pros: Awesome card, can play COD4, L4D FC2 etc. on the highest settings at a resolution of 1600 by 900. from Newegg.com Pros: Great Card. Plays all the latest games on high settings, with the exception of Crysis. Great value for the price. from Newegg.com just to make sure that everything would fly. They have notified me that they haven't received my papers yet. I guess the pony express guy got way layed. Other Thoughts: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. from Newegg.com
