The same person sold an identical card a few seconds before this one ended for $20 more. I'm getting this to replace my 7300LE.

I love mine, I can run Crysis on all high settings (not very high, still using DX9) with a playable frame rate. (Not as high as I would like, but certainly playable). It does run hot though. Crysis loads it around 79. I just got an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 heat sink for it in the mail today, though, that should help. Do you have Rivatuner?

I'd suggest downloading it, it will let you raise the fan speed on the card, seems Nvidia had some of the earlier cards locked in with a fan speed of 29%. Small program, easy to use, and makes a big difference on heat. (Unless you're planning to use aftermarket cooling of come kind.) It has all sorts of other functions that I'm sure would be fascinating to the right person, but fan control is all I use it for. :)
