A score of 4,244 points is very healthy, positioning the card a couple of hundred points behind AMD's HD6870.
nice card, but why not go for a ti instread? seems a better deal to me.
I already have this card and the review is fair, it is a bit loud due to the single, small fan, but performance is great. THey should have made a dual fan version
Sparkle? didnt even know they were still going. they have a weak presense in UK. not the first company I would think of for a purchase.
looks like a decent card, but the cooler is quite poor considering the competition. You were too nice in the review
I think this card is pointless with new AMD cards launching soon and all that.
good review ! thanks kitguru !
