This card is good in terms of performance. Played most games at 1680x1050 with high/highest quality. StarCraft 2, Modern Warfare 2, etc.
But I had a Dell Mini Tower case which makes fitting the card a little difficult. Had to remove the heat sink on the MOFSET chips to prevent it from colliding with the CPU fan.
Also as many has mentioned, it seems a little beyond my understanding why a LP card did not come with a LP bracket. Took a little effort to get one from the market.
And surprisingly, my 280W PSU had no problem handling it with my E8400 CPU.
I would say this may be the best card for a small form factor PC.

It is an ok video card. Runs at temps ranging from 50-75 C so far. Runs games such as tf2 and halflife 2 at max settings and looks great. I had to return my first one because it didn't work. The only reason you would get one of these would be because you need low profile.
