This review is from: EVGA GeForce GTS 450 FPB (Free Performance Boost) 1024 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Graphics Card, 01G-P3-1450-TR (Personal Computers)
I have been using this card for a couple of weeks and so far it is really good. I'm not a gamer, although I have a couple of games for my PC and tried them again with this card. They look really good compared with my previous NVIDIA 9800. For movie watching I found a bit a drag on the decoding of MP4's (the interlaced feature is not well handled) however, this might be a problem with the player as well, so I am not blaming the card for it. The MPGs and DVD's, also BD's playback smoothly using PowerDVD HD.

** See Update below **
On the down side, this card comes with a micro-HDMI connector that supports HDMI 1.4, however, EVGA products do not provide means to connect audio into the cards so you could take advantage of A/V on your HDMI. If you are looking for this feature (which is available thought the NVIDIA GTS450 family) this product won't give you that.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST GRAPHIC CARD I'VE PURCHASED, December 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: EVGA GeForce GTS 450 FPB (Free Performance Boost) 1024 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Graphics Card, 01G-P3-1450-TR (Personal Computers)
I Love this graphic card for the simple fact that, not only did it enhanced the graphics but it sped up my computer as well. I bought this card as a replacement for my NVIDIA Geforce 9800GT 512MB. I must say that so far it's been an amazing investment. I do graphic designs, and web development so I actually plan to buy another one and run them in SLi. The customer service from EVGA has also been pleasurable. They keep you updated and informed which is always appreciated especially as a consumer.

PROS:
Enhanced Graphics
Performance & Speed
Quiet & Cool
Easy to Install
Great Customer Care & Support

CONS:
NONE except that a New Graphic Card come out ever 3 months

Upgrading from integrated graphics to this card was a great decision. Not only can I now run just about every game I play on the highest graphics settings, but the baseline processor usage for my system has gone down.
