I wanted a dual-monitor set-up for photo editing. I ordered this card based on the low price and its support for two DVI monitors on a single card. It works great for my needs. The video driver that I downloaded from the Sapphire web site works just fine on my 64-bit Vista system. As the title of my review indicates, however, I have no idea whether this card is suitable for games.
Rating: - Great card, HD, Overclockable, Plays games great
PROS: Great card for the money, it rocks with PC games and has no lag :)
The HD is great and this comes with everything you need including a cool little sticker you can put on your computer that says "FUELED BY SAPPHIRE"
I recommend this to anyone
CONS:
Although it is a great card, don't expect Crysis at max settings. But then again, why would you spend that extra 200-300 dollars for just a slight more eye candy?
Rating: - Excellent product, vendor
The product ordered was shipped promptly, and arrived in great condition! I was very pleased, as it was a gift for my wife. Will definitely give this vendor future business.
Rating: - Great card...sorry I doubted ATI all these years
Pros: Fast Card, Lots of RAM (512) Low power consumption, slim card, High Performance.
Cons: Idles around 50C Load tops at 66C when OC setup is run. The card still blocks one of my PCI slots.
Last Word: For the price, nothing beats the performance that is delivered by this card. (What I am really wondering is if this is better than my NVIDIA 7600GT. I mean it does support DX10. But I think it is more about my system...and less about the card's actual capabilities) Overall ... Read More
