IT's typically sold for $70 but i found it on here for $20 cheaper. It was easy to install and it started up fine and updated all the drivers and everything works great. I played CoD: MW and turned everything up and it picked up the slack for my crappy processor and it's excellent. Great card for a good price, it's a bad idea to pass up something like this. Has a fan on its body to cool so that helps with overclocking and keeping heat down. The card also ships with Overclocking software from ATI and that does a great job overclocking within a safe range for your PC. My friend bought it like a year ago and it ran him about $200, this is a deal you should not pass up. Rating: 5 / 5 Let me start off by saying it’s a very good card.

Bought HD4350card to replace a still good HTPC graphics card that ATI no longer supports under Windows 7:

Been running a Dell P-Duo as an HTPC for more than a few years, just fine, with an ATI X1300 graphics card.

Upgraded to Windows 7 for 7MC, and started having video source switching issues, fix required a new Video card.
