Pros:
|
Good Performance, easy OC\'in, and nice look.
|
|
Cons:
|
Too much $$$, Crappy cooler, pretty heavy for a vid card.
|
|
I think this card was worth every cent I paid for it used. If I had of paid the full price, I wouldn\'t have been very happy with my purchase. The card looks pretty cool, but the cooler is a very poor design, It has an extrusion for where it makes contact with the GPU which makes no sense. The fan is loud and screechy and doesn\'t even move much air, basically none at all. Great overclocking though. Core up to 430Mhz, and Memory up to 371Mhz from stock 310/290. With stock settings it handles the AA and AF pretty well.. but with overclocking it will run both AA and AF on high quality settings with no graphical lag.

all most Nvidia hater will need. But may not be the best card for the money. I would recomend a NVidia. but if you love ATI and dont mind the slightly higher price...get this beast. and can be flashmodded to a XT

Very Overclockable, Cheap (at least it is now)

Cons:

God Awfull Cooling
|
|
This is a great card, its very overclockable, and runs pretty fast for a card for $140. But the cooling on this card is teh suck. You are going to want to buy ramsinks with this card, and put them on as soon as you take this thing out of the box. But don't waset your money with this card, just save up $20 and buy a 6600GT.

Great Overclocker

Bad stock cooling

I love this card. I put on an aftermarket heatsink (Zalman VF700) and I can overclock this a LOT. I have it flashed to an XT with Speeds of 414Mhz Core and 730MHz Memory.
Its great

Top end AGP card for its day.

Extremely hard to find anymore

I recieved a Crucial branded version of this card used. The guy told me it had problems and he thought it was dead. I received said card..found out the mounting hardware for the cooler was just broken. Went to Home Depot and bought some bolts for $0.99, bolted the cooler on with some Arctic Silver Ceramique.....card's been running great since! This card paired with an AthlonXP 2400+ @2.1GHz and 1GB of DDR gets me into Vista Ultimate and Media Center just fine. I use it in my HTPC rig. Great card. Highly recommended for you AGP'ers out there looking to get off onboard graphics. Just don't spend too much money on it as PCIe machines are much cheaper and offer better performance.

High end at the time. Decent mid/high range card 2-3 years ago.

Stock heatsink sucked, this thing got hot. Couldnt Overclock very well.
|

It ran bf2 at medium-high at 30-50fps. Not too shabby.
