The card it;s self is a nice deep blue color with an awesome looking gremlin design on it. The build quality is superb too the sort of quality we;ve come to expect off ATI RADEON.I have run many games on it before some top spec ones as well, such as F.E.A.R. Dirt, Quake 4, Command and conquer tiberian wars, and Age of empires.The graphics maitain a smooth frame rate and can handle some awsome effects .However i did experience some visual problems on some games, such as Quake 4 and pro evolution soccer 6, there was a strange line running down the screen every few seconds distoring the picture a tiny bit as the line went down. No idea what this is could be Maybe it's somthing to do with the pc i dont know. nevertheless i found this very anoying and ruined the game for me. But that was just on a couple of games out of many.
The RADEON X1300 PRO comes complete with some nice features such as AVIVO which enables superb high definition options. Enhances digital video, games, photos, ensuring sharp images and crisp text. It also comes complete with all the cables needed to connect to your pc and TV.I paid 55 pound for my one from overclockers uk but you can get them now for around 35 quid from dabs,overclockers,pc-world,or any good pc retailer.
All in all i am pleased with this card the graphics are crisp, sharp, and the color is fantastic great for photos, films and games. For the price i would say i;ts well worh alook. cheers.
