Strengths: Can be used in "Crossfire" as a slave card. Currenty the fastest single card on the market. PCI-Express, works for Crossfire motherboards. Weaknesses: No revision of this card that supports SM3.0 yet. Size is big. Noise is louder than the x800 series for some reason. Summary: Good card. Combined with a master card gives up to almost 60%+ performance. A must buy for all computer-ethusiast & extreme gamers that love high FPS. Runs all games flawlessly. After purchase, I highly recommend you change the stock fan to something better. Overall, I highly recommend this baby over other current high-end videocards. !Remember, this card can be used as a slave card for Crossfire.! 95% of People (36/38) found this review helpful.

tukerstown Member Since: Sep 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 15 Days	Awesome Graphics - Fans are alittle noisy Strengths: Best card for Oblivion Superb graphics Hottest card for the money right now Weaknesses: Requires 2 slots Requires separate power Fan is noisy Summary: This is a great video card. No issue with driver installation, as it worked right out of the box. My only issue, is on full blast the fan is somewhat noisy. This can be fixed by changing the fan. I am almost used to the noise. I paid about $119 for this card, which I felt was phenominal. This card beats nVidia's 7600GT and I think holds its own with the 7900s. Since I play Oblivion, this card is perfect. 0% of People (0/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

jimmyseo Member Since: Sep 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 30 Days	Great Card, best bang for the buck Strengths: It can run all games on high setting. Weaknesses: It doesn't support HDR. Summary: I bought this card for $130, and this card can run FEAR at maximum setting for fps >30. I can't think of game with better graphic quality than FEAR, so this can run any games at full setting. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

IntegraACR Member Since: Apr 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 30 Days	Awesome Card! Strengths: I have tried out this card for several months and I am buying another one for a client. Runs Doom 3, WoW with no problems at high settings Weaknesses: The fan can get quite loud during extreme loads, other than that this card is great for any recent 3d Games Summary: This card is great, it runs Doom 3 and Wow with no problems at all, at 100 this is a steal, I would get this card while it is in stock. Amazing card to be had. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.
