Advantages: Plays most games.

Disadvantages: Can overheat a bit and blocks PCI slots

I have had this graphics card now for roughly two years. It has been able to run most games that have come out in those years on full settings, excluding very graphics hungry games like Crysis and Grid; but will still play them. The fact that it comes overclocked by BFG was a big selling point for me, as I knew if I tried to do it manually I would probably break it. However, there are some issues with this graphics card. The first fact is that it gets hot. Not ridiculously, but a lot of graphics cards at the same price have much better cooling systems. Number two is the installation of the card. It is very big, and therefore blocks up pci slots, so if you have lots of additional pci cards (for networking or for USB slots) you may be in trouble. With the £80 price tag I think you could easiley get better value for money if you look into it.

Summary: I would recommend to do more research and get a better card
