Wonderful tiny card, installs easily. Low-profile mounts are straightforward to swap out. Default installation functions extremely smoothly with no any tweaking (for customers with restricted time or tech-savvy).I downloaded the most current drivers from AMD's internet site straight (ignored the set up disc that shipped with the card), and they loaded with no issue at all.Fan is really quiet, even with settings modified. Only a quiet hum when I crank it up to max.Low power demands - functions fine in my HP Pavilion Slimline system with a 220v PS. Brought my Windows Experience scores up to 6.eightǜ.8 (Graphics/Gaming Graphics) from a prior three.eightǙ.three.The 1GB of onboard RAM had the added benifit of bumping my WinEx Memory score from five.9 to a stunning 7.1! VGA port is pin-mounted through ribbon cable, so if you need to have a VGA socket, you have to set up a second low-profile mount, which blocks access to a second card slot.Port could be mounted on the physical card, but the designers chose to mount the DVI and HDMI ports on there instead. This is fine if you're employing your method as a HTPC, but if you want each screen ports alternatively, you have a sacrifice to make. Otherwise, it's a wonderful improvement more than any onboard chipset you could have! The default cooling profile in ATI's drivers was not sufficient for the SFF case that I have on my Pavilion. Soon after install on default settings, I watched the card temps rapidly jump over 70deg C, with the fan sitting at only 30% speed. (This could be due to the place of my PCIe slot-4 inches above my PS)Rather than merely use ATI's CCC application to "lock" the fan speed at max, I downloaded MSI Afterburner as an alternative.With Afterburner, I was capable to very easily configure a custom fan profile to match the needs of my method. Afterburner can also be utilized to more efficiently overclock/customize this card (ATI's overclocking program is rather minimal), providing it a really serious boost to performance.Gave my MMO games a *massive* FPS jump; I had been staggering along at eight-14 FPS due to the fact purchasing a new desktop, and this card (default driver set up, no tweaking) gave me a enhance to more than 118FPS! ࿒-60FPS typical)Win 7 64-Bit Residence PremiumHP Pavilion s5310y wǚGB RAMAMD Athlon II X2 250 CPU @

This is an outstanding low-profile card that does function with extremely nice with my low-watt鵓W) DELL-XPS-200. Even-even though I have attempted all the possible possibilities (over eight months with DELL & other folks) to upgrade my PSU from 275W to greater not a likelihood as DELL is quite considerably customized this to DELL's way(Yes I don't like that, not a possibility to obtain yet another DELL Desktop due to their promoting tactic. I was a fan to DELL now by no means much more, by thinking of upgrading tactics).So this is the Video Card that's having an HDMI and DVI etc that can connect effectively to my Sony Bravia and Other Monitors with no any challenge.1). This 100293L card suggests to have 400W PSU but works very well with my 275W.2). Preparation. a). For XP used please make certain to upgrade your Servicepack to 3 if possible. b). Uninstall all the audio/video drivers from the handle-panel and reboot your method.four). My HDMI Audio was not functioning on the beginning - but I have uninstalled every thing and rebooted technique and a Note: ATI Catlyst Control-Center won't incorporate HDMI audio Drivers or not specified in their doc. So how do a new customer knows that ? But do step a & b that operates for you. Only 1 drawbacks I have seen (probably going to be with all other HDMI based Video cards I don't know) When you connect your HDMI cable to Sony Bravia, at that moment all other Audio connections on the computer systems receiving muted and getting defaulted to HDMI audio source. (Sometime, you need to closed all the browsers/stop the current operating audio/video Youtube or film then replay it once again - does bring the sound to HDMI supply). In order to get back the sound from SONY Bravia to my nearby personal computer boxes, I require to disconnect the HDMI cable or go to System-control-panel and transform Audio from 'HDMI associated drivers xxxx' to our normal pc audio driver. I think it's largely operating system XP concerns nothing at all to do with this Video Card. I am presently using XP with ServicePack3. Planning to upgrade to Windows7 -encouraged.Fantastic to know about your computers chip-set limitations before purchasing any HDMI cards ok. Otherwise sometime we may possibly blame the Manufactures with no k

Great Match into my Gateway SX2840-01 Low Power 鴫Watts) Mini Tower!Wonderful price and very recommended brand! None

Installed it into my Gateway DX4831-01e which is a 軆 spending budget computer system. Easy installation. Runs corporation of heroes maxed out and runs NWN2 nearly maxed out. Runs DX 11 Heaven two. bench at like 15fps on high. Will play most modern day and future games release on Quite Higher. None. Not sure how effectively it will do DX 11 games in the future.

Comment:
Small form factor, runs Crysis on Higher Settings (no fantastic on ultra high) flawless, the witcher on higher, supply games on maximum. Possibly will not be capable to deal with games coming out 2010 or later.

This card runs most games incredibly properly for the price tag. I bought this card mostly for the HDMI output. I wanted to have audio and video via a single cable to go to my receiver, then into my Tv. I had no trouble with the sound more than HDMI, but the video was awful. I just could not get the proper resolution via the graphics card manage panel (my Television's native resolution is 1080p). At 1st, the image did not fill up the screen. Then, following fussing with the overscan/underscan, I managed to fill the screen. The picture nonetheless looked terrible. Text was blurry and absolutely nothing was crisp. This situation has existed for some time (check the ati forums). There is no purpose for underscan/overscan to be enabled by the hdmi output. If you're thinking about obtaining this card for an HTPC, and you're organizing to hook it up to your Tv by means of hdmi, you ought to almost certainly reconsider.

Comment:
Works excellent as a single card for the value. Could not get two cards to crossfire at all. The support was horrible at Sapphire and could come across no reason the cards would not crossfire. I am running a crossfire prepared motherboard and the cards do not want any bridges.

Comment:
Popped it in, hooked up by way of HDMI port to my 61" DLP, immediately worked, updated drivers, works completely. None so far. CCC not the greatest. Good Card for a Excellent Price tag.

Functions ok, as long as you don't require to run MS Flight Sim-X! I'll be sending this one back to the Egg men and women! I purchased this card for a technique I dedicate solely to FSX and regrettably, it doesnt play well with FSX - especially in Win-7 64-bit mode! Had quite a few BLUE SCREENS of DEATH! and as well several error fault messages, even with the most existing ATI drivers.... I'd suggest if you're operating Win-7ኜ-bit with MS Flight Sim-X you look for a additional compatible card. This one particular's been nothing but a pain in the plane!!!!

Fantastic critiques, very good specs, sleek appears. Excellent price tag for the technologies. Did not operate on my motherboard's PCI Express x16 slot. The item description says PCI Express 2.1, but on the item's box it says PCI Express two... I've read that PCI Express two. is backwards compatible with 1., the box says 2., but it will not show a picture on bootup. RMA-ed and got a lower-grade card.

Comment:
If you acquiring this card with the proper expectations you won't be disappointed. It's tiny, quiet and sufficiently highly effective to stream HD video and most games at respectable resolutions. I'm playing WOW at 1920x1080 with Higher settings. None.

Low cost upgrade to my onboard video. I play eve on-line and now i can play with larger graphic settings and no studders. I did not install the integrated drivers, as an alternative got the newest ones from ati. Ati overdrive feature increased core clock to 690MHz and memory clock to 940MHz runs steady and quickly. Cooling fan has very low noise levels. None. Would recomend this card to everyone needing a decent priced upgrade.

Comment:
Extremely effortless set up, uses low energy and does not heat up. This does function on an Optiplex 755 low profile case and does a fantastic job.I am capable to run graphic intensive video games with no any issues. Zero cons so far and it has been functioning flawlessly for 2 months. Buy this card, it is worth it. Don't even hesitate.

Runs cool and fairly (perfect from my HTPC program). Windows 7 graphics overall performance rating went from three.three to six.8 compared to nVidia G100 that came with the method. CCC software program is quite non intuitive. Googled to figure out how to get rid of the two inch black band about my HD Tv. Under no circumstances would have figured this out from the software. If you have an Acer Aspire X1700, this card is significantly much better than the stock nVidia G100 and seems to operate fine with the 220 watt energy supply. If your graphics card fails, it will appear your motherboard is dead. Nearby tech store ran all sorts of diagnostics and concluded my motherboard was poor. I googled about for element and located some suggestions saying it was probably the graphcis card -- it was. This Sapphire runs a lot cooler than the G100, so hopefully it will last longer too.

Operates as advertised. none

Excellent price very good efficiency. If you are searching for a smaller kind element card this is it. I can play most newer games with a small tweaking. This sytem is a dell slim tower C251 with a 200 watt energy supply if I could get a beefier power provide Dell!! It would be the ultimate upgrade. None seriously Dx 11, 1 gig of ram, low energy consumption. runs relatively cool in cramped case.

My nVidia G100 failed and I replaced it with this card and my Windows 7 graphics overall performance rating went from 3.six to six.8. This card runs considerably cooler than then G100 and my Acer AX1700 is a very tiny box (not considerably air circulation). Therefore far the fan on the card has been quit, but I haven't truly pushed the card extremely tough.My Tv tuner USB (PCTV from pinnacle) is also functioning considerably much better with this card than the G100. The ATI CCC user interface is actually nasty. They require some serious HCI (human personal computer interface) specialist enable. Initially the card was leaving a large boarder (couple of inches) around my Television (LCD). I was in a position to google for the solution, but would have under no circumstances been capable to figure out how to repair this devoid of the answer. I hope it lasts longer than the G100. That one gave out immediately after 15 months and I don't use the program incredibly usually (couple hours a week).

sleek appears, high specs, great evaluations. Installed this PCI express x 16 2.1 in my motherboard that only states PCI express x 16. Installed the drivers with old video card equipped simply because this a single would not show picture, even afterwards, nonetheless no picture, and the personal computer doesn't beep like it generally does when it boots up. Is this since this card is as well higher tech for the motherboard? 1GB system RAMWindows XP Experttwo.1 Ghz processortwo PCI express x 16 slots on motherboard, the bottom slot is dead though.. not confident why, never ever utilised it.

This card enables WOW customers like my son to play with higher settings at a 800x600 resolution. Frames prices are higher - in particular when going to locations inside WOW with many persons ࿒ fps). What a difference. Also this card comes with a low profile bracket and no need to have for an further energy connection. It functions beautifully in a Dell 530S - upgraded from a Radeon 2400 HD Pro - not a undesirable Graphics Card for Basic use. The Catalyst Handle Center wioll not load and have tried unique versions from Sapphire Internet Site - not enopugh time presently to pursue fix for this challenge - this is a minor problem for me - just a nuisance. If you have a slim-line case and restricted power supply this might just be your very best Graphics Card Upgrade for the income. Simply installs in minutes (Reasonable Computer information).

This is the great card for a low PSU (mine's 300W), low-profile personal computer. I've had this for two weeks and get TF2 on higher graphics with 1080p with no noticeable frame rate drops at all. Starcraft 2 complains if the graphics is tuned beyond high. The fan is incredibly quiet (although nonetheless louder than my case fan). It doesn't get as well hot (last time I opened my case). On Linux every thing operates perfectly simply because AMD truly bothered to take the time to create their driver application for Ubuntu. Got a BSOD after playing TF2, right after restart I had to reinstall drivers.Overscan annoying, had to do some investigation to study how to turn it off.

Quiet card. Quick and simple conversion to slim line configuration. Installation of this card disabled the onboard sound card. Had to re-enable in BIOS.

worked correct away. No issues . Simple to install none so far I installed it on Giagabyte GA-P55A-UD3 , BIOS F7 version. I very first installed it on PCIe-16x slot and there was no display. So I switch it to PCIE - 4x and it worked fine. Following I installed OS and chipset, Graphics cards drivers. I switched it back to PCIE - 16X slot and it worked fine. Added this so that its useful for other individuals.

Just what we had been hunting for an HP personal computer requiring a half height card. Motion pictures and streaming material play effortlessly, no troubles with calibration. A breeze to install. It is about as quick a card as you will uncover in the half height format without connecting external energy to it. That was a definite plus for us. I guess the reality that it was a small much more high priced than I would have liked. Nevertheless, I bought it, didn't I? If you want a very good card that will allow for playing present games at low settings and very good playback of most sources this would be a very good selection. Low profile, quiet, and acceptable functionality for what it is.
