Decent low-end card. Runs very hot

petatko, Newegg
9 March 2012
  • Pros: Decent card for HTPC setup. Definitely a step up from onboard HD4200.
  • Cons: Runs VERY hot. I mean 70 - 80C. I have no fan directly blowing at it, so there is not much air movement (it's hiden behind TV capture card). Got the passive card to ke...

User Review

  • Summary: I know this card is passively cooled, but that seems rather high. I've had to rig up another fan to specifically blow air onto the heat sink ...
  • Pros: Cheap, HDMI out (supports audio out through HDMI as well which is nice), low profile.

Not a low profile card

Skinner927, Newegg
2 February 2012
  • Summary: Only one side is low-profile meaning, if you were to buy two of these things, they won't sit next to each other.
  • Pros: The card worked right out of the box with no compatibility issues with another ATI card already installed.
  • Cons: This is not a low-profile card. This is why I'm giving this card a bad rating.

The Price is Right

Mike, Newegg
16 October 2011
  • Summary: For Reference: Installing the card and connecting to an HDMI display (in my case an HDTV) will typically yield no video, out of the box.
  • Pros: The card is thoughtfully designed for low-profile chassis. Many people need a low-voltage GPU, and there is absolutely a time and a place for fanless video cards.
  • Cons: This is 'one of those products.' You'll see plenty of banter in tech forums about the many nuances that swarm around this model. My issue was the HDMI output issue.
