    "One killer card"

    by Weebs86 on April 20, 2008

    Pros: Excellent Framerates in all of my games

    Cons: fan is a little annoying sometimes

    Summary: This is an excellent graphics card. I used it to replace an older 512MB X1600 PRO and wow, what a difference. This thing has runs flight simulator X, a pretty demanding game, at max everything. EVERYTHING. Anti-Aliasing, Filtering, Shading, the works. It's incredible. Now, thats at 1280 by 1024, so if you have a newer higher res. monitor you may have some slowdown. But hey, then you can just get another one and run crossfire, which I really want to do now, since the card is so inexpensive (I got mine for about $160), it's really a no brainer. Why pay more for Nvidia? The card is quite large though, so do your research and make sure your MB can accept it. Also, the fan is a little whiney sometimes, but it's usually only during gameplay, and usually I have headphones or my speakers on then so it's really not a big deal. It would have gotten a 10 otherwise.
