I build computers and have used a lot of different cards. I have to say I don't have a lot of bad to say about this card. In fact everything in my opinion has been good. I haven't had a problem yet except for one thing. This card does not like Direct 3D. Other than that I have no problems at all. I think it is a really good card.

The frame rates are excellent. I haven't benchmarked it, but in ROCKS in Quake III. It is quicker than anything I've ever used.

The price is exceptional for the quality of the card. At only $249.99 it was a steal. There are many higher priced cards out there that do not even begin to compare with this card in quality. I have had this card for a year and would NOT even consider upgrading as I am so happy with the performance.

The driver quality is outstanding. I have never had to update the drivers since I've had it. It runs anything that I put on my computer.

The cooling is very adequate for the card. The card has 2 chips and 2 fans that keep each chip individually cooled. This is a REAL PLUS!

The card is quite big, but I think that is an advantage because it is able to accommodate all the features and chips that are on the card.

The drivers and software are very easy to install. It does not matter if it is in Windows 98 or Windows ME.

It puts out good crisp color and good resolution. It supports very high screen resolution settings.

It comes exceptionally well packaged to avoid damage. A lot of good software is included as well.

It has 64 Megs of Ram on it which is double what most cards out there are capable of. It also supports 4X AGP for those who have motherboards that support it.

I have talked to others who have this card and have not heard one bad thing about them. For those who haven't got a lot of money and want exceptional performance this is definitely the way to go. I could bought high priced cards but prefer this one because all the features and the performance. Why spend extra money when you can get the best for less?
