5 of 5Great Card Friday, May 30, 2008 A Customer from Louisville, KY
This is a great graphics card. I am not a gamer, but I tried a few games out of curiosity (Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, Hitman: Blood Money, Unreal Tournament 3) and they all ran great on the highest settings. Be warned though, this thing is HUGE. Make sure it fits in your case. Overall, I am very satisfied with this card, and, assuming that the rebate comes, I would recommend this card to anyone looking to spend < $120 on a graphics card.
