Advantages: Excellent Card for Older DX8.1 Games Disadvantages: Not Recommend for Newer Games
brilliant for displaying arcade games - GTA Vice City for example looks better than its PS2 counterpart. It is also excellent for DVD output with the pure signal giving excellent clarity on modern TV sets.

Advantages: reliability Disadvantages: none that i can think of

I play Games like need for speed underground, Toca Race driver 2, simpsons hit and run, flight simulator 2004, the command and conquer series etc.

The advice i would give to people is to ...
Advantages: Silent, Excellent performance, Great Ram Disadvantages: none
for 10% (my experience) overclocking with no extra cooling or voltage modifications.
Gainward have positioned themselves excellently with this card, priced only slightly higher than the 7600GTS and a fair amount cheaper than it's competitors.
I was considering the GTS as a good budget upgrade but am so much happier with this card, as it plays all modern games at fantastic resolution and consistently high frame rates.
