The card is very well suited for HTPCs and some of the few cards with low-profile panels, which are available in the package. The image playback of HD content such as BluRays is absolutely smooth and you can parallel record TV programs in HD, without jerking and shows dropped! In addition, the card is very quiet! The installation is absolutely no problem. To play current 3D games, it is however completely unsuitable; it is, however, not intended! For multimedia and office PCs strong buy recommendation!
