bought and installed this video card specifically for WOW and i cannot run my video setting past FAIR. only other complaint i have is that there isn't a fan on the card. other than that everything is ok. but i wouldn't recommend this card for a gamer, at least one who likes looking at very nice graphics. will be returning this card tomorrow.

So after reading the reviews of this card i decided this is the one i wanted as my FIRST graphics card. well, all i have to say is AWESOME!!! plays ALOT of games well with great FPS. Fallout 3- 25fps. COD:WaW- 30 fps. MW2- 40! thats just some of the games to name!! oh and black ops 20-fps. I HIGHLY reconmend this card as a beginer! great stuff. all games except Fallout 3 were played on High Quality!
What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: no fan, but a well placed normal fan will take care of that!

I bought this card to replace my broken Geforce 9500 GT. Needless to say, it was sort of a downgrade. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. BUT, this is a great card for the price I paid, and the passive cooling system ensures that i never need to replace it unless I really want a good card. It doesn't compare to high performing cards with GPU fans, and the UI for Catalyst is still boring as ever, but if you're making the jump from an integrated card or maybe even an old PCI-E card, the Radeon HD 4350 is for you.
What's great about it: Reasonable price, low power consumption, Passive Cooling
What's not so great: Lack of fan makes gaming a little harder.

I have been using NVIDIA cards with this computer and my last 2 computers, but my dad has always been using ATI and he has never been having the problems I have been having. He has XP and I have Vista, I read on alot of site the problems that ATI and NVIDIA were having trying to make the conversion to DirectX 10. My NVIDIA card has always been having its trouble since I first got this computer and just last week I updated to the new driver set that came out and that was it computer would not even start. My NVIDIA card would not even show up in my device manager. I went out and got this FXF (ATI) card and boom computer is back up. I have an AMD unit and the two are working great together already played some hi profile games such as Sup commander I and II with no slow down. If you have vista and AMD and you are in need of a card buy this one!!!
What's great about it: Easy install, great price at $59.00 when I bough it, works great with AMD computers

This card has 1gb of DDR2 not DDR3 as stated under the specs on this site. I bought the card saturday installed in 10 minutes sunday morning with time for church. FOR the dumb people who don't get why there audio doesn't work it's because this card comes with 7.1 HD audio built in which is clearly stated on the box and on everysite you look at. Dispable the HDMI audio and your onboard should work again after a reboot.

I bought this to replace an on-board VGA and it works great, installed easily, the unit was recognized by Windows 7 and is fast enough for most general usage.
What's great about it: lots of ram, ease of installation
