I've owned several XFX products, and they all have been of exceptional quality. This one is also a solid product with a great price and a DOUBLE LIFETIME warranty.

While it's not a particularly powerful card, it is probably the best of the few dual-DVI or dual-VGA capable low-profile PCI Express x16 cards on the market.

This particular product, as ordered, includes the low-profile bracket but does not include a dual-VGA cable. Instead, there is a DVI-to-VGA adapter to allow you to attach VGA monitors.

This card comes with the low-profile mounting kit as well as the standard kit for full-size slots--you can install it in either configuration. The literature says it needs a 300-watt power supply, but my HP Pavilion Slimline has only a 180-watt power supply, and the card seems to work just fine. My slimline computer has very little space, yet I was able to squeeze this card in. As it comes from the box, you can connect two DVI monitors or one DVI and one VGA (using the supplied adaptor). You could probably buy an additional VGA adaptor if you needed to connect two VGA monitors. This card raised my Windows Experience rating from 3.4 to 3.7 (Windows Aero) and from 3.0 to 4.5 (3D business and gaming graphics).

I just wanted a video card to upgrade from the onboard memory on my daughter's Dell 530S (slim desktop) and this fit the bill. It came with the necessary bracket to install in the slim tower and was connected with no problem.

If you have a slim computer case that requires a low profile graphics card, consider this one. I didn't need the dual monitor feature, but the card fits right in my Dell Dimension C521 computer. Good upgrade if replacing system board graphics chip. Probably not for serious gamers, but good for all else.

great product...not very powerful but it works with The Lord of The Rings Conquest, which is a very new game, just fine. It fits into slimline computers very well. and it has a 30 day warranty and it looks and workd like new.
