Rating:  - Great Deal For Money
I'm a casual gamer. I bought this card to replace my old ASUS GeForce2 MX/MX 400 AGP card. I play alot of Day Of Defeat: Source and with the recent Steam updates, they took advantage of the new shader system. My old card couldn't handle it. This card handles it perfectly. I used to play at the resolution of 800x600 now I'm able to play at 1024x768 with no GPU based problems. Some of you that have older system may also have an 'out-dated' CPU. I'm using an older AMD Sempron 3000+ 2GHz. I only see some bottle-necking, but that is CPU based problems.
Although a great card, it does tend to get hot after vigorous usage. So I would recommend you to make an investment into cooling. A simple case fan blowing over the motherboard would most likely help. Also I use a program called SpeedFan to track the GPU and CORE temperatures of my video card. This card comes with a Double Life Time warranty. Meaning, if you card takes a dump do to defects of the manufacturing, they WILL replace it. It is stated on the website that this warranty does NOT cover damages caused by overclocking. If you sell this card to a friend or whoever they can also take advantage of the lifetime warranty. All they have to do is register the unique ID on the XFX registration webpage.
Another thing I liked about this card is, being AGP and with todays technology leaning more towards 8x AGP support, this card does give you the versatility of 4x/8x. So if you have an older motherboard. This card is supported on older motherboards equipt with 4x AGP slots. Although rated for use with a 300w PSU minimum, some people claim that they are able to run this card on a 250w PSU. Be informed that running a card on a 250w PSU that is rated for 300w may work, but you do have a chance of card failure and/or having a shorter life span.
All-In-All: Great card well worth it for the money!
One Con: Runs hot. Invest in cooling fans!
Rating: - Good value
Bought this card for my Linux DVR, I had another card in it but it had a fan which was surprisingly loud. Bought this one because it has no fan. Very easy to install and has been working without problems since install.
Rating:  - Good, but...
I needed a better card for a game I was playing. I assumed this would be better than my old card simply because I was going from 128 to 256. I was wrong. There's nothing wrong with the card; it works perfectly. I just still need something better.
Rating: - This video card works!
I have previously tried several video cards without much success but this XFX AGP card really does as advertised.
Easy installation, software installed without any conflicts and it brought my 19" wide screen monitor to max resolution first time on. To be honest I don't run a lot of games, just photos and video but unlike other cards this one doesn't distort a circle it stays round.
Rating: - Perfect out of the box
I bought this video card to replace a failed unit. This new card proved perfect from the moment I turned on my computer. Great video, no installation hangups, just truly plug-in and go! I'm not a video gamer, but when my son tried out the new unit, he was really impressed. Price was great, and the service I received from the supplier, ANTon, was outstanding. Quick response, immediate and timely shipping info, and delivery on target. Overall, great purchase and customer service from all parties involved.
