Chose this card on the basis of reviews showing it to be the best AGP graphics card available, even when compared against more modern cards. Has significantly increased the framerates on my elderly PC when playing firstpersonshooting games in SecondLife. Has given a new lease of life to my old PC. Card is stable, hasnt caused any problems at all. Even the Radeon software is good, with lots of settings to change. Its a little bit noisy - my pc does not support variable fan speeds, so it sits at 50% - and is quite noticable... though barely louder at 100%. Specs show it draws A LOT of current at maximum - 31Amps!!! (equates to 372Watts at 12Volts) Not many other cards draw so much current. had to buy a new Powersupply unit in order to use the card. I would buy it again however, overall, am pleased I bought it.Read full review
I bought the Sapphire Radeon AGP 512 graphics card in order to upgrade my 8 year old PC, at a resonable cost. I am quite pleased to see that it's operating in a perfect manner and lets me enjoy my favorite games!
Maybe the best and more reliable AGP graphic card in its category.

As many may know this is the most powerful AGP graphics card on the market today. It definately lives up to hype, even at times outperforming my P4 3.4Ghz Extreme Edition. Another major plus is the fact that it is so quiet, even without my fanless heatsink, under normal conditions it is barely audible, especially with the case closed. A nice addition to the normal Catalyst Control Centre supplied with all ATI cards is the option to overclock the GPU using the software, which can mean the difference between 20 and 30 FPS providing you have the CPU to support it. Overall an excellent product that breathes new life into an ageing P4 system. Buy it!
Lovely card to add that zing to an older AGP system. Make sure you use the Sapphire drivers from their website as the normal ATI ones won't recognise the card.
