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 Evaluation: 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.
