    Strengths: Supports Direct X 10, works in windows XP and Vista, Once windows starts fan speed is decreased by windows. Less expensive than 8800GTS, takes up one slot. Lifetime warranty.

    Weaknesses:Performance is not 8800GTS (no wonder). Video drivers do not show current temperature of the GPU. Initially screen was flickering at 75 Hz, but after few minutes it normalized (1024 X 768 32 bit LCD).

    Overall Evaluation: "Call of Duty" 4 and "Crysis" run very smooth, they do slow down once lots of action starts (at best graphics setting). Card takes up only one slot (leaves you space for fan control switch). Manufacturer offers rebate, it is the best card for the money at the time. Will wait until 8800GTS is less expensive and upgrade then. Card fan runs silent once windows start (drivers have to be installed before windows start controlling the speed of the fan). I love my quiet PC. Card has two DVI ports and two DVI-to-VGA adapters for analog monitors. This was an upgrade of the system including the card, from AGP 6800 GS 256MB DDR3. Highly recommended as a budget video card.
