Bought this card to pro-long the life of an aging machine. I had an 8800 GTS before. Upon install, I have been able to play games like CoD: Black Ops, Company of Heroes, and Bulletstorm at max detail with no lag. Honestly, this card is amazing bang for your buck. Definite budget card champion. The card is also smaller (length) than my old 8800 which is nice. MSI's packaging is very solid which inspires confidence. So does the 3 year warranty...

I've always owned nVidia cards and they have never let me down, this is a great card for it's money. Great for budget gamers with low graphical requirements and does not require a huge power supply.

Fantastic card for casual gaming, watching videos and so on. A friend purchased one and immediately after seeing it in action I decided to get one for myself. The fan is a bit loud when it is under load, though it isn't a major deal. A small larger then I expected. Other then that, nothing Takes up a good quantity of space in a Micro ATX case. I was worried it wouldn't fit at initially, but it fit just fine. The fan and plastic on it covers up a PCI slot on the mobo, but it wasn't in use anyways so no massive deal.

Factory OverclockDecent Temps ㅘ idle to 64 load (after Overclocking past factory settings)Does a actually very good job for a lower end Dx11 CardIncredibly good price for the performance.Played Dirt two Demo at the incredibly highest settings available. I got more than 50 fps minimum. Nvidia stock settings give a minimum of 33 fps. This is an amazing card for the cost! Not the most stylish of Graphics Cards. When I bought the card it had a 850MHz core. I was able to overclock to 900MHz core. The Nvidia stock setting were at 783MHz. This card has a really good amount of head room for overclocking. Wonderful upgrade in performance from the hd 4670.Can't wait to test out much more games!

You'll be able to max out or nearly max out a bunch of games at 1080p but you'll be playing at 30 FPS. Playing at 720p will improve FPS to 40-60.Got it for $60 after discount and rebate. I'm going to send the rebate in and see how long it will take to receive. As mentioned, I've heard a lot of bad things about MSI's rebates. Make sure you document everything and it's better to spend $10 to have it registered and signed off, that way you're guaranteed $30. After the rebate and discount the price is unbeatable especially considering price/performance. The rebate is a $40 AMEX Credit Card Gift Card. But if you don't get the rebate this isn't a hot deal.

This is my second MSI video card and I really like how they included plastic covers for ALL their ports and connections. Hmm, I just like details. Good card for a budget build.

Very decent card for a budget build.

Very well priced card to be used as a GPGPU and/or Dedicated PhysX card but also a very good solution, though no Radeon HD 5770, for low resolution gaming (LAN Parties).

I bought this to put in a M-atx build that I was doing for under $550 cdn. I put it with a amd 450 x3 and a budget asus board and it preforms great! Currently I have the top maximum setting Furmark score for the 450 series which I laugh to myself about. MSI's website is a bit confusing to find the drivers on so I recommend using the on disk drivers until you find the correct latest ones for you. I play Portal 1 on this card at a minimum of 70fps on highest settings, and it has played every game I've thrown at it just fine. One thing to not is that I play on a 15in. 1024x768 vga lcd monitor so you most likely wont get the same fps as me, but you'll know it's at least playable.
