Strengths: Runs completely silent and still doesn't get too hot. Plays Age of Empires 3 at 1920x1200 perfectly, even with the highest settings. No problems in 32 bit vista.
Weaknesses: None
Overall: I have this card hooked up to a 24" LCD and it works perfectly for what I need. I typically spend 1 to 2 hours a day playing Age of Empires 3 and this card doesn't have any problems with it. This Gigabyte video card actually replaced a fanless 8600GTS from MSI, which also worked perfectly, but I needed access to the PCI-e slot on the side that was blocked by the MSI card. The heatsink on this thing is a bit smaller than the heatsink on the MSI card and it is on the main side of the video card instead of being wrapped around the back.
Sorry, the product you requested isn't currently available from any of our sellers.
