This looks like a nice card for a HTPC system. Hardware Canucks investigated it and concludes it fits well into its intended niche, although the price tag is pretty high for the gaming performance it delivers and the fan is a bit too loud.

" As the GTS 450 series has matured, board partners have come out with some unique products. Sparkle has headlined their lineup with a single slot and overclocked card that hopes to strike a cord with HTPC users who are looking for more performance than integrated solutions can offer."
