I purchased the ASUS EAH4350 (non-low profile) version of this, which is essentially the same card, except mine comes with a HDMI port. This is an economical choice for a video card for motherboards like mine that do not come with integrated graphics. The EAH4350 handled Blueray/HD playback beautifully and provided audio-out through HDMI as well, making this a solid HTPC card. As it’s fanless, this is absolutely silent, another great feature for HTPC or just anyone looking to reduce the noise on their rigs.
Don’t expect it to run demanding games Crysis. Nevertheless, I found gaming on this card on Left4Dead and Team Fortress 2 totally acceptable while using lower resolutions. It has similar or better in terms of performance compared to my Nvidia 7800GS which it replaced.

This is one of the oddest experiences I’ve had.
My specs: Windows XP/MCE, Athlon Quad-core, 4Gb RAM (installed), ASUS motherboard. Card is driving a Sony 40″ Bravia LCD through VGA (DB15) and 20″ HP 2009m monitor, both at 1600/900 60Hz. (Drives both monitors simultaneously with no problem. I don’t plan to use the HDMI feature: I don’t know how my solution would affect it.)
I just received this card, and installed it, and it is working very well. But… I didn’t get this exact card. I got the right box, but the card was an ATI Radeon with DVI, VGA (DB15) and HDMI, not S-Video (mini-DIN). And the box says 512MB, but the card reports 1024MB. So far, I’m happy, and the extra memory is certainly no cause for complaint: the HDMI instead of the mini-DIN might be a problem for some.
The card is well made, and installed easily. But… it took over my audio functions (because of the HDMI, I assume) and I had no sound until I went into bios setup and switched my on-board sound to “enabled” from “auto”, thereby forcing the computer to recognize the on-board soundcard. Not a big deal for me, but it would be a problem for a lot of people.)
Now, the software: I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS, and the install failed. (The card defaults to VGA, so I wasn’t dead in the water, just inconvenienced.) I forced the install of the drivers on the included CD (they’re unsigned) and then the newer softward loaded. Apparently, it’s an upgrade. Whatever… but… when you ask the software it loads as a controller (called “Catalyst Control Center”) to find the latest drivers (a very good feature) it takes you to AMD/ATI’s website, and you download much later drivers from them, and get a much better control interface, and you’re really in business. The Catalyst… whatever… adds a lot of functionality for the advanced user (more advanced than me) and restores to XP/MCE some lost features, like monitor cloning. (If you don’t know what that is, you don’t need it.)
This whole process should be a lot better. It’s do-able, but I’m a fairly advanced user, and it was time-consuming and far too confusing. Too many suppliers/manufacturers/software developers with too little co-ordination between them.
However… it is a great card at an amazingly low price (though I notice it has gone up a little). It’s worth a try, but by all means, check the contents of the box carefully before you install it. Good luck.

Pros:
Low cost, silent, has HDMI output.
Cons:
Headache to update the driver from the version on the CD to the latest version from website. I suggest that you do not install the driver from the CD and directly use the latest driver from ATI’s website. When upgrading the driver, there can be many install issues (install doesn’t run, you need to update .net distributions, etc).
Other thoughts:
I was having issues with popping sounds coming out of the HDMI audio. i was able to fix this problem by following the instructions on this website:

The card is amazing for this price. I put it into my desktop and hooked up the HDMI cable to my TV and it immediately displayed video. I installed the drivers, and they had a bit of a problem under Windows 7 leading to a temporary blue screen, but Windows 7 updated them and I got a perfect desktop on my Sony TV.
I have had several graphic cards hooked up to this TV and none of them were able to size the desktop perfectly and run Media center with such aplomb. Digital audio is perfect, something others I have used could not do.
And it all just plain worked. The utilities are nice too to diagnose the card.
I am not going to downgrade this card for what it is not. It is not a major gaming card (but it kicks butt on some games) and it isn’t a much more expensive gig card.
But if you want to hook HDMI to your TV and play reasonable 3D games, this card kicks butt and is incredibly easy to set up and run. And all for a price that made me smile.

I’m sure the card would have worked well as the other reviews indicate. Unfortunately for me it was a bad fit for my motherboard and case. Notice that since it’s designed to be low-profile the heatsink is placed very close to where it will go into the PCI-E slot, and sticks out pretty far in the back. This meant that once inserted into my motherboard the card’s heatsink sat flush right over my southbridge heatsink, so that they were actually touching. Also, since I have a small micro-ATX case with only one HDD-bay, the SATA cable from the hard drive, as well as the front USB/power/LED cables all needed to cross that exact spot where the two heatsinks were touching. I was not comfortable having that much heat build right where all those important cables had to go, so I’ll have to stick with the on-board video for now.
