Excellent card for this priceStrengths: price very stable low power utilization Weakness: a little bit hot on load fan noise This is the best video card for sub $100. This is the bang for the buck. Vista Aero and gaming rating is at maximum (5.9). Runs NFS Carbon: 1200x1600, maximum details, and AF/on and AA=2x @ 40FPS. Very stable, low power utilization but a little bit hot on load (80°C); the VC fan speeds up when the temp reaches 80°C which is late. I think they set it like this to make the VC very quit on idle.

Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3850Strengths: Decent price. Audio over HDMI adapter. Weakness: ugly and bulky. Fan a little loud. I got this video card primarily to set up a multimedia entertainment computer for HDTV - because this card carries audio over its special DVI-HDMI adapter. Gaming is only my secondary concern. However, its fan is just a little loud - you can definitely hear it in the quieter scenes during a movie. There are only three wires going to the fan - it doesn't seem to adjust its speed with temperature....

Excellent Mid-range Card for its costStrengths: Can be overclocked. Can run in crossfire. Weakness: None so far For $100 after rebate, you get a excellent card that can run almost all modern games beautifully and will last for a while. Also, this card comes overclocked, and this is a very surprising bonus for me. If you have two of these cards and run them in Crossfire, nothing cannot be done with this monster.

Very good card for the priceStrengths: Scores 15800 points on 3dMark 06 in crossfire with Powercolor HD3850 256MB. I doesn't go above 60 degrees C under load. Weakness: The double slot cooler helps cooling the GPU, but it doesn't get the hot air outside of the case. I am still waiting for the MIR from Diamond Multimedia. BAD RMA support. I bought this card for hybrid crossfire with Powercolor HD3850 256MB on Maximus formula x38 and E6850 running at 3.6 Ghz. I am happy the frame refresh rates I get when I play COD4 at 19x12. The card died after about 8 months of use. Their customer support phone number is 818-534-1414. The RMA instructions require to include a return label and $8 check for them ship it back.

Wonderful Card
Strengths: Fast, Relatively quiet, Not very expensive
Weakness: This thing is HUGE
This is a very good card. It runs every game perfectly. The only downside is that it is very big - it could barely fit in my case. I had to move some stuff inside to make room for this monster. Overall, I am very satisfied with this card and would recommend it to anybody.
