Decent video card... does play most of the new game decently at 1024x768, but I experienced problems with stability in games, and lockups even with using latest drivers.

I love this card, never slows down grapics and is cheap by comparison. I do high end engineering applications on it and then switch over to games without any loss in quality of visuals. One thing i don't like about this card is how confusing it is to try and get it so that you can route a video line to your tv. took me twenty minute of messing with settings to finally get it right

This card is ok for the price point, decent graphics but nothing outstanding. My gripe is with the stability. It doesn't run that hot, 48-50 Celcius, but was giving excessive blue screens and infinite loops even with updated drivers and thorough cooling. Replaced with another brand and no more problems.
