Runs at slightly lower clock speeds too (faster than x1600pro) but look at the price. WOW! Amazing deals EDIT: Oops, sorry mods: i thought this was the Desktop Specs & Component Recommendations forums -------------------------

Just look at the newegg reviews...looks like ATI's worst card to date... ------------------------- My GT430 Is Folding For AMD Team 34106 FOR A GOOD CAUSE---Accepting Donations of New, Used, Working, Nonworking PC Components Thanks to KLEETUS for his generous donation of components!!

Actually, I thought it was pretty good for a card that I paid ~$120 for about 4 or 5 months ago. Of course, there was a slight bit of sarcasm... ------------------------- Main box: Opteron 170 @ 2.8 Ghz DFI Ultra-D w/2x1GB PQI Turbo @233 Mhz & 3-3-3-7 Asus X1900XT-256MB--Creative Audigy2 ZS--Seagate 320GB 7200.10 NEC 3550a---PC P&C 610 watt psu in an Antec SLK3700AMB case

technic58 Minister of Spare Parts Posts: 13953 Joined: 07/25/2004	I didn't mean performance wise. Performance wise they look great, and I may pick one up. I meant...it looks like people are having a lot of issues with them. Like weird things, not to mention they all seem to run pretty hot...a lot of the reviews report DOA cards....that sort of thing. Not performance. ------------------------- My GT430 Is Folding For AMD Team 34106 FOR A GOOD CAUSE---Accepting Donations of New, Used, Working, Nonworking PC Components Thanks to KLEETUS for his generous donation of components!!

myocardia Senior Member Posts: 824 Joined: 04/06/2006	Oh, you definitely have to run ATI Tool, if you have one. I only installed ATI Tool to see how hot my card was running, because every time I tried to game, it would restart. Well, it was running 68 or 70°C, with no games/programs running! They built the card's fan not to even turn on until like 65 or 70°C. I changed the fan speed settings, and now it idles @51-52°C, while websurfing. But, if you didn't know about ATI Tool, you'd send it back to newegg. ------------------------- Main box: Opteron 170 @ 2.8 Ghz DFI Ultra-D w/2x1GB PQI Turbo @233 Mhz & 3-3-3-7 Asus X1900XT-256MB--Creative Audigy2 ZS--Seagate 320GB 7200.10 NEC 3550a---PC P&C 610 watt psu in an Antec SLK3700AMB case

I saw somewhere in one of the reviews that one of the cards didnt have temp sensors. Ok well...I am so sick of my 9800Pro not having temp sensors....I was spoiled by my 9600XT ------------------------- My GT430 Is Folding For AMD Team 34106 FOR A GOOD CAUSE---Accepting Donations of New, Used, Working, Nonworking PC Components Thanks to KLEETUS for his generous donation of components!!

Well...not sure why your 9600XT didn't, unless it wasn't a 9600XT core, just an overclocked 9600Pro or something. ATI used to include temp sensors only on the XT models...my 9800Pro doesn't have one either. Weird thing is, my X700Pro does, so yeah, maybe they are putting them on most cards... Dunno, maybe it was just the normal X1600Pro that someone said it didn't have temp sensors...or maybe he was just wrong. Either way, I would be buying the overclocked edition, if not just for the GDDR3. ------------------------- My GT430 Is Folding For AMD Team 34106 FOR A GOOD CAUSE---Accepting Donations of New, Used, Working, Nonworking PC Components Thanks to KLEETUS for his generous donation of components!!
