Nice upgrade from 1950 Pro, for a good price!

"Pros 1. Its was on sale for 179.99! 2. I am seeing much better framerates in COD4, World in Conflict and Crysis Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

"Got the 25% off coupon so it was only $150! However, this card will not output ANY audio over HDMI to a Yamaha RX-V663 or RX-V863 receiver. There is a defect preventing the audio output to those receivers currently. Check out this thread to find out more about the audio problems with this card. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1043267..." Read Full Review »
