Great Product

Plugged it in and it worked right away and it segnificantly improved my PC's performance. The limiting component is now the processor. Great price...

Entry Level Video Card

There are lots of Radeons out there that are bigger, meaner, faster, and ummm more expensive. Here is a good Accelerator that is low cost and pretty good speed.

Good Product Fair Deal

I use it on my Dell 530 and it is a great card. I replace a Asus Ati 512 card. I still use s-video on my 27 inch Sony tv but will upgrade. When I win a contest of some sort.

Great product -great value

We needed to replace a video card in our 5 year old computer. We went to the shops around town and the cheapest one was more than double the price and the product was no where near as good as this one. Love the fan right on the card.

Best upgrade for low power supply

I put this in my Dell Inspiron 531s as an upgrade from a 8400GS 512MB to play Star Wars: The Old Republic and man did it do the job!!! For those wondering bout the power supply in those slim towers...well you don't need to. Runs fine with the 250W that came standard in mine, but I also have upgraded my RAM to 6Gbs. And you will have to buy a low profile bracket kit to get the card to fit as it does not come with one. My computers specs are as follows so that way u have an idea of what i'm running with. AMD ATHLON 64 X2 DC 4400+ 2.3 GHZ ATI RADEON HD 5500 SERIES 6 GB RAM

most important upgrade to Dell 531 Inspirion

Why didn't I do this sooner? This is the most advanced graphics card that can run on only 300 watts. So, without having to upgrade my power source, I can finally watch streaming video without get the blue screen of death ( I also upgraded to 2 X 2G RAM). No need for a new computer for a couple more years (also upgraded from Vista to Windows 7)
