Really fast card for the price! September 29, 2008 Dexter (Florida) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
with this card you can play anything at high settings with no problems... this is a mid-level card, it with solve the problem for casual gamers, but it may not do so much for hardcore gamers. I been able to get really nice and stable FPS on Crysis, 30-33 FPS average with all settings on HIGH using 1280x1024 resolution. Taking Crysis as a standard in benchmarks and one of the games that ask for a really high-end pc imagine the FPS you would get from other games like COD4, Mass Effect, UT3 etc. Plus since its Nvidia 9 series, you are also getting PhysiX and CUDA. Overall this is a really cheap and fast card. I had it for like 3 months, recommend it to anyone who doesnt want to spend 200$ on a video card and wants to get awesome performace.
In a word: excellent September 26, 2008 Luis Miranda Perdomo (Venezuela) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Eng: a great vcard. I play the most powerfull games without problems (Crysis, Crysis Warhead, CoD 4, Prey, Company of Heroes, Jericho, Timeshift, Medal of Honor Airborne, Need for Speed Prostreet, Grid, Dirt, Assassins Creed, and others). For example, I play Crysis in 1280 x 1024, all in high, and 4x filters, and the game experience is perfect, with 30-35 FPS constant. The temperature in game is (after 4 hours and reported by GPU-Z) is between 55-60 C, in idle, 42-45 C, with his stock fan. Really, great buy, with a excellent price. Esp: una gran tarjeta de video.

Por ejemplo, en Crysis, a 1280 x 1024, todo en alto, y con filtros en 4x, se juega perfecto, con 30-35 FPS constantes.
