Pros: Packaged nicely, looks cool, performs well, and overclocks, what else can you ask for.
Cons: Need better instructions for the MyVivo TV out.
The Bottom Line: This is a great card, it does everything it says and very well. A good buy if you can't afford the $300. Radeon 9800pro

It is too bad they don't have a picture of this video card because it looks really nice. It has a large aluminum heat sink that surrounds the entire card, with two fans on it.
Ok enough about the looks. I bought my card in November from Newegg.com, and paid approx. $175. This was packaged nicely with the my vivo cables and 6 disks containing games, drivers, and video capturing software. Also included was a disk entitled cool 3D, I believe it is for designing 3D effects. The card installed easily and worked well. The drivers were easy to install and things worked smoothly. Graphics were very clean and clear on the games provided.
I decided to run 3Dmark2001 to see how much horsepower this card had. With an AMD 1.83ghz Barton core,512MB of ram, and the card running at stock settings I scored 10,880. Recently I overclocked my processor to 2.13 and overclocked the video card to 315 core and 635 memory. This scored me a 12,359 I think I could score up to 13000 3Dmarks if I maxed out the card and turned the processor up a couple of notches.
I tried the myVivo out and had really good results importing video from my old camcorder, I also tried the tv out and didn't have as good of results, but I'm unsure if I'm actually doing it right.
All the games they sent with the card are decent, a couple of them are really good. My kids love them.
