Customer Reviews

Sorry I can not give it 0 stars...
This card is worthless if you want to play DVD's on your computer. I installed it and it worked with videos on the Internet but when I went to play DVD's. It didn't worked. I called their customer service and after many attempts to fix the problem, they tell me that this card might be incompatible with XP or maybe Windows Media play or maybe Real Player and maybe all the other DVD players that I tried. So I have to honestly say buy this card at your own risk.

Very good for the price
This card makes COD 4 look much better, although it won't run it smoothly with everything turned on. This was the best I could do without also replacing my power supply. All in all I am happy with the purchase.

Good card, but I thought it would be better
I bought this card after I got the Battlefield 2 collection and I also needed it for Battlefield 1942. Obviousely this card blows BF 1942 away, but in BF 2 I can only put the graphics on medium ( then again I only have 1gb ram and 3.0 ghz pent4). Anyway, i am still pleased, the fan is quiet (i heard the xfx fan is loud) also it supports DX 10 for the future. i recomend this card or the step up 8600GTS.
