This card costs a little more than cards that are based on the standard version of the Radeon X1950 Pro GPU, but it also offers a little more performance than those cards and it also has a video-in port.

The Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro is a fast, efficient card, and a worthy adversary to heavily overclocked products such as the Gainward 7900 GS Golden Sample. There are better alternatives, but this is a decent offering.

Some of the best value for money available, it can run most modern games quite comfortably without denting the bank balance.

The Gigabyte 8600GTS is an affordable mid-range card which will be able to display DirectX 10-based games in all their splendour when they're finally released. That being said, the fact that it's quiet and comes with a decent bundle makes it good for its price.

Overclocked GPU and memory components aren't enough to supply fast frame rates for DirectX 10-based games, but if you want a modern card for your DirectX 9-based games, and also a card that's HDCP-ready, then this HIS model is as good as any.

When it comes to gaming performance for your dollar, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 is currently unmatched. If that's not enough reason to snap this card up, we don't know what is.

A great performer for the cost, definitely one to look out for if you want bang for your buck.

Considering the price this is a very good card. It's fairly on par with NVIDIA's own 8800 GTS and will keep keen gamers happy, though it won't run the latest games at the highest settings.

A great performer; however, you definitely pay a premium for the extra processing power

All up, this card may be a little expensive considering it doesn't come with any games, but it's a good performer and the supplied DVI-HDMI adapter and the Component cable are useful additions.
