Cons: PITA to get working since its's just released Oct 2013-see summary.Don't get if you have old hardware.
Pros: Cool n idle, 77C under load n 40% fan (very quiet), nice price when on sale, 1gb ddr5 ram, no extra power needed. Works with WinXP. Can be crossfire'd through PCI-E bus(no ext bridge equipped) Comment:
I bought two of these as they were $79.99 on sale + free shipping. Could not get it to work on my intended rig-Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA motherboard, there were no recent Bios update s for that mobo-most recent was 2008 and I had that installed. Moved on to a Gigabyte G41MT-S2PT mobo and only got the videocard to work after installing the card, mucking around in the bios (using the integrated graphics), installing the videocard drivers and updating the videocard bios using the included GPUTweak-liveupdate function. Installed the other videocard on a GA-H61M-DS2H mobo and initially could not get the videocard to function. update d the Bios on the mobo from ver F5 to F7 and all was golden. I am happy with the price vs performance. Playing Skyrim w720P resolution w/max quality avg 40-60FPS, Playing FEAR w1080P Max quality, FSAA maxed 60-80FPS. I'm happy with these cards once I got things working. Thanks NCIX. |
I bought this for daughters pc to upgrade from the 6570 she had and wasn't disappointed. graphics improvements were great and the expandability of monitors is a bonus. great for any starter game system
