ASUS Radeon EAH4350 512MB DDR2 PCI-Express Silent Graphics Card

Pros:
Low cost, silent, has HDMI output.

Cons:
Headache to update the driver from the version on the CD to the latest version from website. I suggest that you do not install the driver from the CD and directly use the latest driver from ATI's website. When upgrading the driver, there can be many install issues (install doesn't run, you need to update .net distributions, etc).

Other thoughts:
I was having issues with popping sounds coming out of the HDMI audio. i was able to fix this problem by following the instructions on this website:

This is one of the oddest experiences I've had.

My specs: Windows XP/MCE, Athlon Quad-core, 4Gb RAM (installed), ASUS motherboard. Card is driving a Sony 40" Bravia LCD through VGA (DB15) and 20" HP 2009m monitor, both at 1600/900 60Hz. (Drives both monitors simultaneously with no problem. I don't plan to use the HDMI feature: I don't know how my solution would affect it.)

I just received this card, and installed it, and it is working very well. But... I didn't get this exact card. I got the right box, but the card was an ATI Radeon with DVI, VGA (DB15) and HDMI, not S-Video (mini-DIN). And the box says 512MB, but the card reports 1024MB. So far, I'm happy, and the extra memory is certainly no cause for complaint: the HDMI instead of the mini-DIN might be a problem for some.

The card is well made, and installed easily. But... it took over my audio functions (because of the HDMI, I assume) and I had no sound until I went into bios setup and...Read more

I purchased the ASUS EAH4350 (non-low profile) version of this, which is essentially the same card, except mine comes with a HDMI port. This is an economical choice for a video card for motherboards like mine that do not come with integrated graphics. The EAH4350 handled Blueray/HD playback beautifully and provided audio-out through HDMI as well, making this a solid HTPC card. As it's fanless, this is absolutely silent, another great feature for HTPC or just anyone looking to reduce the noise on their rigs.
Don't expect it to run demanding games Crysis. Nevertheless, I found gaming on this card on Left4Dead and Team Fortress 2 totally acceptable while using lower resolutions. It has similar or better in terms of performance compared to my Nvidia 7800GS which it replaced.
