Reviewed by: pumm3l
Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Games look smoother and sharper than they did on my ATI Radeon 9700. Very quite. SLI compatible.
Weaknesses: Runs a little warm but after adding 2 case fans it seems to helped a bit.
Overall Evaluation: This card works great! I decided to build my first desktop and choose this card, it seemed to be getting nice reviews and it wasn't too expensive. After putting everything together I couldn't be happier, it runs COD4 perfectly and I couldn't be happier with it. I'll be purchasing a 2nd card down the road to take advantage of the SLI capabilities with my new board.
