PCI Express
2.0 Support PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate
from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance
boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express
2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of
a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow
product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve
high performance. (backwards compatible with PCI Express)

I bought this card to replace a 8600GTS that failed. It works great. The fan is slightly louder than the previous card, but not bad at all. This deal was the best I could find from a reliable source.
Good for games, useless for BluRay/HD-DVD

Bought this card for my gaming machine & media center, Phenom X4 9550, 4GB RAM, brand new dual-format BluRay/HD-DVD drive, and all the trimmings, about half of my high def movies play perfectly, and the others are unwatchable, get about a frame every 3 seconds. Swapped the video card out with an ATI Radeo 4650, and they all play perfectly. Called tech support, their suggestion after replacing the card and getting a new one? Sell it off to someone else and buy a new card. Real helpful. DO NOT buy this card if you're looking to play HD movies. But if all you want it for is gaming, it's awesome, plays everything I've thrown at it at maximum quality with ease.
