Top of the line performance, Gigabye scores again with another passive video card

Cons Large heavy cooler and heatpipes, blocks adjacent port on rear of card

Recommended it? Yes

The card behaved fine running office applications and surfing the Internet, but as soon as I... Read full review »

PCI-E was not any option for my older P4 system that had fell behind. Picking between buying a new machine for a handful of games or just a new graphics card was not a hard choice once I found this... Read full review »
