Low price tag, decent efficiency for the value, HDMI output, low-profile capable, quiet. Excellent of the construction is very good, as expected of Sapphire. Only entry-level overall performance...you get what you're paying for. I bought this card to go into my HTPC, so my major issues were low-profile form element, HDMI out for ease of connection to the Television, and sufficient performance to drive HD video and emulation of my old, gradually fading consoles, and it lives up to all of these desires admirably.

Bought this to replace a junk video card that was doa or died inside a week (local obtain from Fry's). Installed effortless, quiet. None I am conscious of. The fan looked a lot more solid on this 1 - will wait to see if lasts but so far no troubles.

-decent performance (great with HD video)-low profile-quiet -ATI catalyst can be pretty lame on linux-audio over HDMI can be unreliable (also on linux) When I originally bought this, there weren't very many alternatives for a low profile, budget HTPC. This card fit the bill perfectly. If I was in the industry for an HTPC video card correct now, although, I'd likely go with something a little more modern, for a similar price tag.

Comment:
Affordable with the rebate. Much better than onboard chip. Fan keeps gpu temp down. Noise is not as well undesirable. None Great upgrade for my old onboard ati hd 3200.

Low power consumption, quiet, straightforward install, good for light gaming none so far had to return a 5570 as it and my Lenovo M-series refused to get along, this replaced a (crummy) Nvidia 8400 GS and the distinction is fairly awesome. Despite the fact that I did have to do some further perform to root out all of the nvidia software...

This card is best for my Dell Inspiron 531s. It runs fine off my weak low-profile psu! I can run all Valve games in complete resolution and others like CoD:blackops in medium resolution. Rebate sucks...(but im not taking an egg of of it!) It did overheat when in my slim line case, And I wish it was a lot more effective...but thats the value you pay for finding a cheap pc...Im upgrading to a I7 950 subsequent month!

Low profile, low power, tiny size, low-cost. Picked up two of these cards. One for use in an older Dell 4700C running a hyper-threaded 3.0GHz Pentium four with 2GB DDR2, and the other in a "hold me over" construct operating an AMD Athlon 64 two.5GHz Dual-core with 2GB DDR2 as nicely.One running Windows XP Pro and the other 7 Ultimate 32. Both for family members. The Dell 4700C is operating it's original stock PSU and the "hold me more than" is running a Cooler Master 500 Watt PSU.No setup or driver issues on either program. Both are operating as intended. Intended utilizes are net, watching on-line media, moderate to low finish gaming. See "Other thoughts" for facts. So far the cards are performing just fine. This card is quite smaller. For a comparison, it is almost the precise identical length as a standard full size DVD case (including the bracket) and a little below half the height. So if you are worried about space, you can use that as an easy reference. None. Intended makes use of on the Dell 4700C: Web media (YouTube, Facebook, Netflix), Flash games, Sims three, and a couple low to moderate finish MMORPG titles such as MapleStory. Running at 1280x1024 or 1024x768 depending on the game. Moderate to some high settings in Sims three, max settings in the MMORPG titles. Intended makes use of on the "hold me more than" develop: Web media (YouTube, Facebook, Netflix), Flash games, Killing Floor, Combat Arms, and a handful of other low to moderate end MMOFPS and MMORPG titles. Running at 1280x1024 or less. Moderate to high settings in Killing Floor and Combat Arms, max settings in the MMORPG titles. In all the above mentioned instances, the card is able to preserve stable framerates and provide smooth gameplay. So as long as you are not trying to run something to heavy on it, This Sapphire 4650 seems to do fairly well at the aforementioned settings. For what they are, I should admit, they do much better than I anticipated.

Excellent bang for the buck, just like some other reviewers have stated. Effortless to install. Low profile. Based on just about absolutely everyone elses complaint, I'm not holding my breath waiting to get the rebate back. I play COD1, two & WOW. I've noticed considerable lag at times in these games, therefore the two eggs overall. I'll possibly have to junk this one particular for a thing else. I just hope it doesn't die on me. Seems like Sapphire genuinely desires a lesson in buyer service, even in the most basic of terms. This will be the lat time I obtain something with the Sapphire name. Just not impressed. NEWEGG is fantastic nevertheless.

Quiet fan, simple installation. Substantially elevated playing WOW immediately after cata updated and my computer could barely run the game on the lowest settings. I am acquiring about 30 FPS give or take five FPS on Very good. Over all pleased with the outcome thinking about what I paid for the item. The bracket I had to use didn't line up with the threads on my case. For these interested I using it on an eMachines, AMD Athlon II X2 235e, 6GB (RAM), 64 bit, Windows 7

It permits your Technique Ram to be completely applied. Expect a WEI rating of 4.9 and 6.threeLatest ATI driver dated tenቲቦ has a number of problems. Induced method to crash numerous times and had to use Windows driver. None.

very simple to set up. (dell c521)quitegraphics appear very goodvalue For my everyday use and WoW I see no cons. I purchased this card to replace the one that came with my dell c521 when it brunt out. I kept acquiring the error, display driver (insert right here) stopped responding and fully recovered. I am really content with it. I use it to play Globe of Warcraft and it functions just fine. For the price tag you can't get much better.

Bought this to replace my integrated GPU. Simple install and came with a regular sized bracket mainly because the low profile wouldn't fit in by box. Fit perfectly right after the bracket switch. Drivers very easily installed with the disk included. Fan is working wonderful and it stays at a decent temperature. Running League of Legends on full max settings at a continuous 60 FPS and Starcraft two on High staying above 50 at all occasions. Very pleased with this acquire. Fan seems a tad bit noisy, but that's most likely due to me just getting overly-sensitive about noise; it in all probability wouldn't bother anybody else so I won't drop an egg for that.

Put this puppy in a Shuttle SA76G2 and runs good! Didn't even require to upgrade the energy supply on the Pc to run it. Pleased as can be. Card says 400 watts or higher, Pc only has 250 watt energy supply and it still running fine. :) The day after I purchased this card, NewEgg sold it as at Shell Shocker pricing and dropped it 30. As Homer Simpson would say, "Doh!" Not a con in fact, just 1 of those moments when I was kicking myself. lol Great card. Operating Dirt 2 at medium settings and runs wonderful in the Shuttle Computer.

Comment:
It functions :) It gets actually truly hot when i played resident evil five for just 30minutes, when i touch the metal parts of the card, my hand burns and it hurts, thats how hot it is, and you can smell it.

Great Stats for priceOperates amazing on windows 2003 server NaN Had for just about a year now.

three eggs (see cons). Bought for HTPC construct, works wonderful. With updated drivers I have a good 47" picture. I even have sound. I've been lured in by rebates for the last time. According to Sapphire my rebate was approved and "postmarked" practically a month ago, at this point I don't anticipate to ever see it. To me postmarked implies the check is in the mail. I'm as well old to fall for that 1. This isn't my very first Sapphire card but simply because of this it is my final. Rebates reflect poorly on all involved, including Newegg. I won't be fooled once more.

I just got this today and its great , its so a lot greater than my integrated card ! I love it !! i only play no cost to play shooters like combat arms and i get around 50-120ps. If you are capped at 60 attempt turning off vsync !( you can google that0 It didnt come with a screw, my laptop didnt come with 1 either :/ ITS Great FOR Price tag !

Blazes through Most challenges thrown at it. On an single core two.2GHz Dinosaur this card shot my computing power via the roof. I'm not operating Star Craft two or anything, but for Typical game play (COD4 High setting) and HD videos 鼐p) this card is excellent. None so Far I also have a 300W power supply, which may be holding the card back even a lot more from its accurate possible.

HDMI output with Surround sound - A single wireFantastic Price with RebateNearly Silent inside my caseTwo 1080p videos are effortlessWorks with Windows 7 64-Bit None....okay maybe faster RAM but that's why it's a budget card. Very easily overclocks to 750Mhz GPU Clock and 460 MHz Memory Clock, but rolled each back about five%.

Comment:
The card functions as advertised. I figured giving them the Ū for the "No Wait Service" would basically keep my rebate from being "lost". It's now 6 weeks later (and two+ weeks due to the fact it was reportedly mailed) and no rebate. I don't generally count on acquiring these rebates but for others that do, be conscious that this organization is no much better than most.

Low costNicely-performing for cost Tiny form aspect was not clearly apparent from the description. Instances with common sized back panels for the graphics card will have to modified to hold this card. Luckily, the case I utilized was affordable, so some wire cutters and electrical tape covered it, but I feel cheated that I was unaware that it'd only be half the size of a typical card's DVI output panel. Took off two eggs due to poor description. Don't get this one particular unless you're utilizing a micro-atx certain case. Chipset is excellent; the 4650 is the finest for its price.

To the guy who stated "It's a incredibly small step above integrated mobo gpu." - This card is between five and 10 times more rapidly than your integrated 4200.I have both the 4200 onboard and this card operating at the identical time. Synthetic benchmarks may not give you accurate outcomes - try playing a game at 1600x1200, the 4200 won't do it even on low detail extremely properly, the 4650 pushes 60fps on higher detail int he exact same games. So long as you comprehend that memory bandwidth is limited. The 16x FSAA and such shouldn't be used. I don't consider people fully grasp GPUs substantially but, with setups like this you want to decrease memory bandwidth usage. FSAA - put it on a low setting at very best, post processing - low setting, tripple buffering - leave it off even though it would be far better. They put a motor related to the Corvette in huge trucks. It won't do 160MPH - it's the truck not the motor. Similar to that scenario, this is a reasonable chip with a memory bottleneck. If you bought it for ฤ a thing like I did you shouldn't be shocked that it isn't an ATI 6950... Nevertheless, if you turn down the memory intensive features I swear that this thing will crank the FPS. And btw, turn up the memory speed in CCC. Core speed in all probability won't do something much even though.

Wonderful card at a excellent price tag. Even though there is a fan, you can not hear it. Possibly I got lucky, but windows update installed the driver for a Windows 7 system with no difficulties. Much better get a few tools for converting the bracket to complete size slot. No instructions on how to do this, but not too difficult to figure out. The rebate procedure is almost laughable with the 'gotchas' along the way. The downloadable form mysteriously altered the buy date range. Also, after you complete the on the net form, they let you know you cannot have a distinct billing address vs. shipping address. Also, the shipping label they want you to use just occurs to be cut in half in between printed pages. Ok, so you cut out the label...now what... use shipping tape to attach two 1ǘ labels to a blank envelope...try this with no static elec. generating the paper thin label fly all over the place. Oh, and just prior to you throw out that label section of the rebate form, you -must- attach the UPC code subsequent the cut-out hole exactly where the label was! (most persons will make the mistake of discarding that component of the rebate form). You'll see how carefully planned this was to trip up people into not finding their rebate (as most rebates do) I can't wait to see if this really functions... well, I'll uncover out in the middle of 2011 I guess!
