I upgraded to this card from a fanless ATI HD 2400 device, which didn't have any HDMI output. I have a self-built AMD dual core system, on Win7 64-bit. I was initially disappointed as the card seemed unstable and the basic windows fixes and my Driver Genius Pro failed to provide any solution. Win 7 came to the rescue, after a run of 6 crashes when it directed me to the correct part of the Sapphire site, which provided a stable 64-bit driver. I now have a system with the windows experience index upgraded for video from 4.5 to 6.8, running soundlessly at 51C idle. I've tested but not fully explored the 1080P link to my TV, but it seems to work ok.

Had absolutely no problems getting the card running on my dual boot XP 32 bit/Vista 64 bit machine. Drivers were easy enough to find on the Sapphire or ATI site.
But beware of the extra height the heat sink adds to the card. It wouldn't fit in my case. The photos don't immediately make it obvious but the dimensions are listed so take note of the height. I "fixed" by purchasing a new case.

Not really designed for high end gaming but ideal for home theatre use and as a day to a graphics card. The fact that it is totally silent is a massive bonus. Solid performance, quiet and cool in operation. Highly recommended.
