Conclusion

The perfect solution for budget computer gaming. What I liked about this unit is the neat looking heatsink. Performance-wise, it’s a little slower than any HD2600XT based graphic card BUT hey, that’s what you get when you decide to pay less for a graphic card. 🙂 Nevertheless, you are assured you are able to play the latest games today on this card as long as you don’t mind the lack of eye-candy.
