Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was first a little intimidated because i never installed anything in my computer before. The instructions were very easy, it showed pictures of what things were and how to install it. I was getting about 20 fps to combat arms with my 2 year old graphics card (nvidia 6150) and now im getting 60+ fps with it at max settings. This i would have to say is the best graphics card for a 300 Watt power supply and its a good deal for only $80

This card is excellent for a) older systems b)systems with small power supplies (i.e. 350 watts or less) or c) systems that need a low profile card. Don't expect to play the latest cutting edge games with this card or you will be disappointed. But if you have an older system and like to play games that don't need a lot of graphics power like Civilization or other strategy games, this card will do well for you. I installed this on an older Dell GX280 system with a 300 watt power supply and it is doing well. I use the system for work during the day and for some casual gaming at night. I play games that aren't too graphic intensive, but still need 3D acceleration like "Galactic Civilizations" and this card lets me use all the eye candy. Most games that are more than 2 years old will do just fine on this card. The 1GB memory helps make up for the fact that it is the slower memory.

For those of you with a slimline PC with >300W power supply, this is a great card if you want to run WoW, play Flight Simultator, or something else. Works no problem on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64. Its a step above on board video, but you could do better. I would recommend it, but look for DDR3 first.

This card is in my first gaming system. Nothing like super cutting edge, but I love playing tf2, counter strike source, Day of defeat source, left 4 dead, and the half life series, which this handles with almost no hiccups. If I remember correctly, all those games, with the exception of left 4 dead, have run on high detail. All of them in full resolution, and look fantastic. The card updated without any problems, handles aero just fine, and the install was super easy.

I have been using NVIDIA cards with this computer and my last 2 computers, but my dad has always been using ATI and he has never been having the problems I have been having. He has XP and I have Vista, I read on alot of site the problems that ATI and NVIDIA were having trying to make the conversion to DirectX 10. My NVIDIA card has always been having its trouble since I first got this computer and just last week I updated to the new driver set that came out and that was it computer would not even start. My NVIDIA card would not even show up in my device manager. I went out and got this FXF (ATI) card and boom computer is back up. I have an AMD unit and the two are working great together already played some hi profile games such as Sup commander I and II with no slow down. If you have vista and AMD and you are in need of a card buy this one!!!

Opened up a world of games that I couldn't play before. computer speed increased slightly and no more flickering. 3D driver is awesome. High quility at a cheap price.

I got this card to replace my onboard HD4200 graphics so I could get my system RAM back. I didn't expect it to me anything great but its bad! Desktop rating went down a couple .10th(didn't effect AERO desktop so I dunno why score dropped) but the 3D/Gaming score went up a 4 .10ths, Didn't cause me any audio problems but my audio was set in the BIOS so that may be why. They say if it runs Crysis it will run anything so I d/l'd the demo to Crysis and WAALAA it did a pretty dang good job. High quality graphics lagged a bit in high action scenes but on medium it was smooth as silk and the picture looked GREAT!!! Its not an HD5800 so dont expect it to be but if you need a decent lil card to get you going I'd definitely recommend it/well worth the money!

The installation was extremely easy; it even directed me to XFX driver update page for new Windows 7 drivers. I bought this card for my son's pc. Him and I play a lot of MMOs and this card does not disapoint. After installing the card, played WoW, DDO, LoTRO, and Vangaurd and experience no graphical issues; was able to turn all graphics to optimal settings.

Bought it for my living room set-up, seems happy with a big screen Vizio..wasn't difficult to install, although ATI drivers can be finnicky to install...runs a little hot, and it's not for gaming...but for the money, like I said, works well in HTPC.

I bought this card to replace my broken Geforce 9500 GT. Needless to say, it was sort of a downgrade. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. BUT, this is a great card for the price I paid, and the passive cooling system ensures that i never need to replace it unless I really want a good card. It doesn't compare to high performing cards with GPU fans, and the UI for Catalyst is still boring as ever, but if you're making the jump from an integrated card or maybe even an old PCI-E card, the Radeon HD 4350 is for you.

Why this card? I purchased this to replace a card which had a cooling fan that failed on a low end gaming box, as of today (eMachines T5246). Now, about this card... Mechanically, the installation was quite routine. Software installation on W7HP64, not so good. As an administrator, I inserted the driver CD, it autoran, I selected to install. The CD spun up to warp 9, and all looked ok, so I walked off. CD ran for about a minute. After the CD halted, I returned to the PC to see an error message on the screen, something that looked like a W7 error dialog asking me to report a problem installing the software, did it install correctly. This step is not presented in the installation manual. I selected installed properly, but this was a guess since I had not seen the installation process. After clearing dialogs and restarting, I checked the W7 device manager, it seems as though the necessary driver is installed properly and working correctly, so I began assuming all was fine. Oh wait. Hold on... Being that this is an ATI card, I had expected the Catalyst Control Center to be installed along with the driver, but this is not the case for my install - Catalyst Control Center is not found as installed software on the W7 system and appears to be missing from the autorun options on the CD. After searching the CD, the August 2009 version 9.8 of Catalyst Control Center installer IS included on the CD, so the autorun installation process failed to install it (if the autorun was ever supposed to install it). Wondering why, I searched the CD for installation details. After reading the Catalyst 9.8 PDF manual which I found on the CD, I see that Microsoft .Net Framework v2.0 is required to be installed for Catalyst to launch; this software requirement is not spelled out on the product box, nor is this requirement listed in the paper install brochures included in the box. Therefore, the software installation process leaves a bit to be desired. Is it difficult to get these items installed? No, not when you can get online after troubleshooting this yourself as I did, but when XFX doesn't mention the .NET requirements in the printed installation documents, many users will get tripped up. Without the Catalyst Control Center, many features of the card are not activated, so you get minimal functionality when the missing .NET framework causes the Catalyst Control Center to not be installed.

I bought this video card to replace my pathetic Nvidia GeForce 9500GS card. My HP desktop only had a 300 watt power supply, and this really restricted my choice in video cards. I ended up buying the XFX ATI RADEON HD 4350 from Best Buy because: 1) It does not use unreliable Nvidia chips, 2) It is a great value for the money, 3) It only requires a computer power supply that generates 300 watts, 4) It is extremely reliable, and 5) It is EXTREMELY quiet because it does not have a fan. I cannot believe how quiet my PC is now. The XFX ATI RADEON HD 4350 card made a tremendous improvement! This video card is for people who have relatively light video requirements. If you primarily surf the Internet, use Microsoft Office, and rarely use graphic intensive video games, then this graphics card is *perfect* for you! However, if you are a heavy gamer, you will want a more powerful video card.

Part operated as expected after full installation. Cannot comment on performance as I have since taken it back. Reason for taking back is the heatsink on the back side of the board was touching two electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard and not being fully seated in the PCI-e Slot. Would not recommend using this video card in a Inspiron 531 desktop from purely a installation standpoint. If it is used, be wary of any tall motherboard components near the slot where the card is to be installed. Heatsinks got incredbly hot fast. Much more so than previous video with similar specs.

Took me about 2 hours to put in, forgot to erase old drivers, but no biggie. played Call of duty world at war and it destroyed. It destroys left 4 dead, all source games, even crysis!!!! This game would be able to play modern warfare 2 when it comes out. not only games it is really good with media and photoshop. love it. no pci-e connector so no extra psu to break the bank, you can throw it in any dell/gateway/sony you name it. for the price, best purchase i have made in a long time.

I have read several reviews that say this card in not good for gaming. I disagree. I have played at full graphic settings : Unreal 3, MOH 2010, MOH Airborne, Wolfenstein to name a few of the heavy hitters when it comes to graphic setting and this card works very well. No lag, smooth frame rates and overal great gaming experince, I have an HP quad core syetem 2.8 gh with 4mb ram and this card is great.

I have a HP A1600N desktop that had on board graphics and noticed a few facebook games were having issues keeping up. I opted for the 4350 because I knew my motherboard could handle the power and did not want to upgrade my power supply also. I do not do much online gaming. No WOW etc, but I can tell a difference when playing other smaller games online. I bought this for price and the VGA connection to monitor. I have much older equipment and upgrade as needed. The problem I had was that I lost my onboard audio after the installation. With no help from XFX website (they never replied to support ticket), I researched online to find out I could change my BIOS from AUTO to onboard ENABLED and now have issue fixed. So other then the 12 hours of no sound, it managed to be a quick fix. I thought it was funny that the audio was re-routed through the new card, but had no audio outputs on it at all. Still haven't figured that one out.

i bought this card and got windows 7 and now it will not show anything on my screen. i don't know if its catalyst issue or whatever. but other than that it is a very excellent card and would recommend it for gaming.

So after reading the reviews of this card i decided this is the one i wanted as my FIRST graphics card. well, all i have to say is AWESOME!!! plays ALOT of games well with great FPS. Fallout 3- 25fps. COD:WaW- 30 fps. MW2- 40! thats just some of the games to name!! oh and black ops 20-fps. I HIGHLY reconmend this card as a beginer! great stuff. all games except Fallout 3 were played on High Quality!

I like it easy to instal just popped that sucker in lol butt i got all excited, then it happened no sound at all sucky but ill live with it efore u buy talk to your best buy associate before then ask him/her everthing about it then ect. so if i were you reveiw as much as possible.DONT BE SCARED TO ASK QUESTIONS DO IT! ^^

really easy to install. great price. and low power drain so i didn't have to upgrade my power supply just to use it
