(More customer reviews)This is a tried and true direct x 10 320 streaming processor smart/ low power consumption card (75 Watts max) from ati. It's had a few years for all the bugs to surface and be dealt with so it's a safe bet to install with the latest drivers from the ati website. I bought 2 of these and they both work fantastic! They went into an HP a6857c desktop computer. The original is now the spare and that one was running for over a month and even survived an open case 3 foot computer drop onto a fairly hard carpeted surface. I originally installed the drivers using the VGA connection so there would be no conflict with my onboard sound. I then swithced over to the HDMI connection and that operation went flawlessly. Knowing what I know now I would have downloaded the drivers and the CCC first, uninstalled my accelerated integrated graphic drivers second, put the card in and then installed the drivers and ccc I had already downloaded. That way the card won't be spinning it's wheels waiting an inordinate amount of time for it's drivers. I could have gotten by on the stock 300 Watt Power Supply with this card but installed a Corsair 400 Watt psu anyway. These are dream cards with smart power consumption and no external power connection. That means my computer is only drawing 66.3 Watts as I type this but when I play Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2008 the power consumption goes up to 120 Watts. It's similar for Deer Drive. You don't get that with the old style external plug in graphic cards. They would cause your computer to use significant more power at all times ! This card has something like 300 5 star reviews on Newegg so it's the nearest thing to a sure bet you're gonna get for a graphics card. When you try to print the HIS rebate form make sure you match up the upc code to the model code because it seems each model has more than one upc code and if you get it wrong the form will not print but it won't tell you why. I thought there was something wrong with my printer until I finally figured it out. You'll get an option for a 1 week rebate but it will cost you 10%. Rebates twenty dollars and more are issued on debit cards but the 10 dollar rebate is a check issue and 8-10 weeks out if you don't take the instant option. Oh yeah the fan on this thing requires an adjacent open slot because it exhausts out the back of your case. For all but hard core gamers with gaming rigs(usually high wattage) this card is the perfect solution. It rates 5.7 on the Windows Vista Experience Index.
