This is an excellent mid-range card for the price. I was limping in on games with an older 128mb ATI card and the differences are immense. If you don't need a top of the line card, are on a budget, and still want to nicely upgrade your gaming experience, this is the card you want!
Rating: - Compatibility issues galore
Forget about playing popular high end games, such as World of Warcraft. You have to scale back the drivers because only certain versions work. Then when the game releases a new patch, you have to go figure out which driver might work, if any. ATI is known to have this problem with many online games. Go get an Nvidia and save a lot of headache.
Rating: - Great Card!
If you don't have a DX10 card, this is one of the best choices in the market. Because the other cardss with support DX10 they're really bad with DX9, and de DX10 it's soooo far.
Rating: - Fast - yes : plug n play compatible - no
This card is much faster than my old 6800GS. However, for the first time ever, in the many PCs I have built, I have programs that run but with NO video. I have programs that only run after I deleted all software "updates" that I downloaded from their site. I even had to make adjustments to MS media player, to get it to play properly. Customer service consisted of the usual "technician" reading from a script, who told me I needed to upgrade to MS media player v10. I can't recommend this card, unless you want a fast card that MIGHT run all of your programs, if you're lucky. PS. it does get a bit hot.
