For the price it's not too bad, but boy was this card jet engine loud. I'm returning it due to the fact my pc is pretty quiet, once installed what a difference. Sounds like the fan is on the outside of the case.

I bought this on sale elsewhere but Tiger has a great price on this.-I was concerned that my XXa12XXn computer that has onboard ATI xpress 200 graphics would'nt push the cards it has no power plug in to the card but so far it is working fine.-(Maybe the 500 watts Earthpower Antec power supply I added helped-another great product)-The wild part about this card is that when I first started using it there were some minor issues relate to the board I think but the longer I use this card the better it performs!-I have to say,after looking at all the other cards availible for this price,since I'm probably not going to link another card to this motherboard,I'm pretty satisfied with the card.-And after reading at all the nightmares others have had with some cards,this VisionTek card installed with NO problems-and the fan is'nt loud at all-I have a side case fan that is much louder than the card's fan.
