I deleted my previous negative review because it turns out that my VGA cable had spontaneously killed itself whilst I was installing this new card (and PSU to run it). The problem is fixed (everything was very blurry!). Anyway, to the second review...
I put it in about 4 hours ago and so far, no problems caused by the new card. I tested it on a few games I have (like Minecraft with the Tekkit mod and Halo 2 for PC, nothing demanding yet!) and I got fantastic results (I have Quad Core i7 with 3.4GHz and 8 GB RAM), fluctuating up to 250FPS on the Tekkit mod for Minecraft and a steady 70FPS on Halo 2. This was on the highest settings possible for both games. A huge upgrade upon my previous integrated graphics of course. This is not the best card out there but it is still amazing considering the price, which is a fraction of the best graphics cards today!
I would recommend this to anyone upgrading from an older card or integrated graphics for a reasonable price. Please be aware that if you are upgrading from integrated graphics to this, you may need to buy a new PSU (Power Supply Unit). To find out, look for a PCI-E cable leading from your PSU (it should be unplugged). If you cannot find it, you will probably need to buy a new PSU. I therefore recommend this to anyone who needs a new PSU: Cooler Master GX-Lite 500W Power Supply. It is quite expensive but it looks like it is more reliable and stable than a cheaper PSU. It will also supply just about all the cables you will ever need! And it has 500 watts which should be suffice. Look at all the cables you are getting before buying because, in my case, there were a lot left over that are just doing nothing at the moment except making the inside of my computer messy. But I don't think you can go wrong with this PSU really.
Just another thing, this card is quite big (about the size of a DVD case, maybe less in width and more depth with the fan too) so make sure you have space for it in your PC. I only just fit it into my HP Pavilion p6 2065uk. Also, you will require a PCI Express slot in your motherboard so make sure you have one of these before buying this or you are just wasting your time.
Good Luck :)
It also comes with an over clocking programme and you can control the fan on it too (You can find it on the driver CD which comes with the card)! :D
This card is awesome .I have a quad core and with this card I can run 90% of games at high settings.
It was a cheap but great upgrade and I would recommend this to anyone.
BTW--it's even factory overclocked when you get it.

Great price and great product. It fitted into a HP pavilion micro case. On COD4 with 1920x1080 resolution, highest textures, max AA, shadows ect it can give an average 100-120fps with an i3@3.30 ghz. If I look at the sky in COD4, I get 400+ fps. For MW3 on 1920x1080, game quality and textures on ultra with maximum AA including all other settings turn on and at max it can give around 40-45fps.
If you want a mid-range graphics card, get this.

This graphics card is really good quality for the price. It will be play just about every current game on high settings and will continue to have great performance for a while.
The card may be cheap but it is worth getting, i recommend it to anyone who is on a smaller budget/trying to limit cost, and just if you want a really good GPU that is less than the usual gaming graphics card price of around £120+.

Very good graphic card for the £100 price tag play almost anythink.
such as
battlefield 3
call of duty mw3
world at war
etc
I thought it was impossible to have a pc which could game for 400 pounds. This card was the cheapest one i could find, and along with a cpu as bad as an athlon x3 455, i can get 120fps cod4 115 fps minecraft with 4x anti aliasing and 40-50 fps battlefield bc2 full settings. That is amazing for such a cheap card. I haven't had any problems with any games, and the pc i built was so cheap, but this card has really transformed it into an insanely good gaming rig for the price. Yes i realize for hardcore gaming you need much better hardware, but it is definitely playable for casual gamers.

After using a motherboard graphics GPU for what seems forever this really made me go wow, i know its not the best card on the market bot for anyone with a budget i would say this is a real head turner. it does everything i want it to and more. for example some games that i could barely run on minimum settings in lower resolution i am now playing at top spec in full 1080 with more then 2x the frame rate.
please note that this does come with a 2x molex to 6pin converter cable, just to let some of you know if you are a 6pin short.
i would recommend this to all low level to intermittent gamers for its amazing BANG for BUCK :D

Placed this inside my new build machine, running excellent along with a Phenom II X4 965 - 3.4 Ghz AM3 Black Edition.
Definately a bargain for the performance this puts out, no problems at all so far (6 months on)
