(More customer reviews)My Gateway has only 220W power supply. I bought this graphics card to stream Netflix and watch Blu-Ray. Fits perfectly inside the half-height Gateway case, almost touching the top surface. This graphic card is passively cooled (no fan). When idle, temperature will hover 75C. While watching Blu-Ray, temp reached 85-88C. While playing Crysis Warhead, it reached 90-95C. Plays well on Crysis Warhead at highest settings. Didn't want to play too long because of overheating concerns.
I hooked the HDMI to my 1080P Sharp 52" TV. There was this black border 1-1/2" all four sides of TV. You have to adjust the scaling option in Catalyst Control Center to zero. Go to "Desktop and Display" in CCC and right click the monitor icon on lower left and choose "configure". Then go to "Scaling Option" to adjust to zero. This solves the problem. Note: This problem only occurs when you hook up the HDMI to a 1080P TV.
The 3D graphics (Windows Experience Index) went from 3.5 to 6.1 after installing this card. Lastly, I suggest going online AMD/ATI website to download the latest Catalyst Control Center and drivers. I wanted to get latest drivers for my Windows 7 64 bit PC.
There is no special adjustments needed for HDMI sound. I just plugged my HDMI to it and the sound comes out really nice on my TV. Again, no special cables required from motherboard to graphics card.
In conclusion, for the price to performance rating, the graphics card performed very well.
