Bah, Canadians don't know anything about performance, you've gotta stick to the far east :)

Funny, I just got one of these from newegg 2 days ago. I just wanted the DVI port and don't care about performance (it is replacing on-board video so almost anything is better anyway). It turns out it is not the item linked on the manufacturer page, which shows a full height card with a large passive heatsink.

Mine is a X1300 model, but is a half-height card with a small powered fan (it is silent fortunately!). I can't find anything like it on the Sapphire website, but it works great and I'm happy with it. Cheapest PCIe card with DVI that I could find without the hassle of a rebate.

Aww don't go and take the OP seriously, this is the wrong forum for talking seriously about video cards :)

Unless you want to discuss the displacement of that card of course :D
Or maybe the TOP SPEED!!!

More likely this one will just be locked. We've had our fun. Go post in the correct forum, no harm done.

Come back and talk cars some time ;)

No harm done? HARDLY!

I, for one, am EXTREMELY OFFENDED by this topic. Pushing your "I'm a computer geek so I'm better than you grease monkey's" agenda in our own home turf is just flat out disrespectful. I hope you get banned!
