Conclusion
What can I say, this card is a brilliant mid-range solution for any gamer on a budget. At just under £100 it undercuts the ATI x1950 Pro in terms of pricing and with a little overclocking beats it in performance in some tests too. Granted this card is not perfect - I really cannot fathom the reasoning behind the leaning cooler- but its performance and its noiseless cooling solution (and DX10 support, I guess) means for for £90 you are getting a damn good deal. For these reasons, this card has earned the value award.
| Pros | Cons |
| Good performance | Very poor clearance with chipset and memory |
| Overclocks well | Ugly cooler |
| Passive cooling |
