GOOD
hi, brought this from local small PC specialist
£49.

putting it in was easy, only takes one expansion slot.
has its own fan, however i dont hear it.

it it brilliant, can now run games like BF2142 on High, Call of Duty 4 on medium and even Crysis on low-medium.

however the rest of my computer isnt the equivalent
1.8ghx dual core
1gb ram
305 watt PSU
so if your wondering why its struggling its cos of my processor and ram.

anyway, it plays games well, especially on my 22" monitor. images are crisp with dvd and video. and even the desktop just looks generally better.

buy it, its amazing

Best budget - performance graphics card
I've purchased this 2 weeks ago after I read through the reviews and compared prices. The time spend on the research was well worth it as this is the best budget / high performance combination you can get. Graphics are absolutely stunning. I played COD4 and was amazed with the graphics and performance. Would recommend to anyone, buy it, you won't regret it, except if you're a high profile gamer who's after a more sophisticated product.

Will it work why the price hike?
I have an off the shelf HP pavillion desktop system that is now starting tho wheeze with modern games (if they run at all) Is this card the answer to all my problems? The last review made me think again regarding power supply requirements. I have a 300 watt power supply and only once you have bought the card do you find out that the minimum spec is 350 watts. Why is this not included in the online product description? Will my power supply cope? Also why has the price gone up in the last week? Help !!
