Had a radeon on my dell which is about 3 years old. Card died, glad it did. It was always a pain for one reason or another. I really dont like the Catalist software that it has to install. After this 3yr old card completely died, went to best buy and had a newer radeon and this card in my hand. I had a budget of $100. The deciding factor for me (without having read any reviews) was I noticed it had a 2011 copyright date v.s. 2009 of the radeon (I like newer technology), also, it had a 3yr warranty v.s. 2yr for the radeon. It had a 4.8 rating on the display (thanks Best Buy). Lastly, it only required a 300w powersupply v.s. the 400w the radeon recommended. Everything else from what I could tell was similar (1GB DD3 ram, etc). When I got home, and opened my case, I noticed I only had 350w power supply in my machine, so I was happy about my choice. Installation was easy, works great with both my games and I have some high end CAD programs (Revit) that I have seen no issues with. I am very glad I chose this card.

This video card is great for the money. It has enough muscle for most games but video use is what I needed. The card will operate with power supply as low as 300 watts which is a plus not having to upgrade that. It was easy to install and best of all it works perfectly! Windows 7 Experience Index went from 4.2 to 6.6 for graphics and gaming graphics!
