Great All Rounder
Reviewed by Mark Parker. Review Posted 05/12/2009
Fantastic card for the money and especially as my Motherboard only has the old AGP and PCI slots. The only downside is the lack of proper drivers if like me your using Windows 7 as the only drivers you can get are legacy and no matter how hard I tried with updates from AMD you can't get Catalyst Centre to work in Windows 7. I did find a fix which is to install Vista drivers instead but it's fiddly. There is also a problem with the design of the card as I had to force it into my MB (dodgy mounting bracket). And after 3 months of use it has now developed a fault which means I need to return it which I hope Dabs will honour. Apart from the hiccups with mine it really is a great card and watching films on the throughput to my telly is great. Five Stars methinks.

A nice buy

Can't complain. Good, solid card and good service from Dabs as allways. I bought this to replace my 7600GS that failed after 3 years. Be warned that this is not that fast, even thought it is a lot younger. In fact, my 7600 was marginally faster than this but the excellent ATI drivers make up for it I think. I had a host of issues with various games with Nvidia - none with this one so far.

Good value

Excellent card giving excellent bang per buck... I can play modern games on my old 4.8 p4 machine with AGP. Just don't forget to get your updated drivers from the Sapphire site and not the AMD site!!!

good card, i think...
Reviewed by rob. Review Posted 30/01/2009
it seems to run well. i had team fortress 2 running for a bit and it seems to work very well.
one important thing to note is that this card will take a fair amount of juice to run it. the box specifies that a 450w psu with a 30a 12v line is recommended. i have a 400w psu and i did not like it at all.
i have now ordered a 650w psu, hopefully, it will solve the problem.

This card is amazing value. It is really powerful and works really well in my old Dell Dimension 4600. This has two DVI (white plug) inputs, an s-video input, but no VGA (blue plug) input (A DVI-VGA adapter is supplied). Really fastand easy to install if you know what you're doing (only comes with a not very detailed quick-start guide). Choose this!

Average card, rubbish software
Reviewed by Steve. Review Posted 02/06/2010
Installed the card with no problems, seems fine - not exactly powerful but adequate, and by the way it looks nothing like the photo! The ATI Catalyst software is another matter. Spent three hours installing and uninstalling, trying to find updates etc. Given up on it - it's crap. This is my third ATI card in this PC and I had no problems with previous versions of Catalyst, so there is obviously something wrong with the Sapphire version.
