XFX HD485XZDFC ATI HD4850 1GB GDDR3 2DVI/HDTV Vga Card

This graphics card (GC) is totally worth the money invested, it is in the higher end of the ATI GC series out right now, the all new 4800 series. The only misleading thing about the description about the GC is that it takes up 2 whole slots vs. only 1. 

The fan built onto it takes up more space then it should, but the up side is that it keeps this thing running cool, smooth, and puring like a kitten. It is a little big, so if your gonna be putting it into a pre-fab comp, be careful and make sure you got the room for it to fit, check your dimensions and so forth. On a side note the cheapest I could find this outside of amazon.com online was newegg and it was still more expensive there especially after shipping and handling, and the cheapest retail store sells it in my area for 149.99, so the deal was well worth it, especially when u factor in the free shipping even though its the slow delivery option, I only had to wait 1 week or 5 business days, well worth the wait and I might be getting another at this price point to run in crossfire mode. 

Hopefully you will enjoy this as much as myself. Also one last note, be sure to get the 1gig vs the 512mb, it makes the world of difference as seen on a friends comp. i only gave it a 4 star cause it takes of 2 slots vs the 1 stated or else if it had said 2 slot i'd have rated it a 5.
