Rating: - I Got a Dead One...
I can not give this video card a better score than 1. Not only did the one I buy from Amazon not work (clicks of death), but the heatsink is also very large, which makes it difficult to undo the PCIe clip to take the card out of the computer - when you do decide you want to take it out. Thumbs down, MSI. Maybe their 8500s are better, but I'd instead go with another manufacturer like XFX, BFG or eVGA who I'm sure test their products a little more rigorously than MSI does. Amazon still rocks.
Rating: - Great value - and no fan noise!
This is one of the few PCIe video cards without a cooling fan. Instead, it sports a fairly large heatsink on both sides of the board that is just as effective. I blew up a different video card by overheating when I unplugged the fan, so apparently they are more than just a marketing ploy... Video performance is very satisfactory, and the difference between analog video and DVI alone is worth the price of this card.
