Strengths: quite, easy setup

Weaknesses: Size

Summary: I have only had this card for about 1 week now but it seems to respond very well. I had an ASUS card prior to this one and it lasted about 3 years before it finally burnt out. I do some gaming but generally have a custom system that I use for standard things (internet, music, photos, etc...). When I do game, I do not want to worry about having enough juice - I havn't had any problems so far with new games that I purchased. Great card for average joe and probably good card for hardcore gamers for years to come.

Strengths: DDR3 memory, keep cool

Weaknesses: cover two slots, big and long

Summary: When I bought this card 6 months ago it was perfect in order to play the lastest games and edit videos on Windows Vista. Now, I recommend to switch to 4870; however, it still is good for midrange users. The HighDefinition support by cable works neat. In addition, I got Company Heroes game such as an extra. Due to space and size it does not need an extra fan or cooler.
