what do people think of this card?

As budget cards go, looks ok, the specs make it worth the money.

I've never heard of Zotac though, that's a new one on me.
 
Seems fair enough. Pretty standard 7300GT. I havn't heard of Zotac either, but I guess it is just a standard card with a passive cooler stuck on top so you probably can't go far wrong.
 
This was on the first review of the 7300...

'Despite the fact that it said PCI-E on the box, it went into my AGP slot, but that's where I wanted it to go.'

:eek::confused:
 
I have a 7300GS 512Mb in my Media Centre machine.

For the money, it's a good card. Plays CoD2 fine at medium res :)

Strange, it having 512Mb memory, it was advertised (at overclock) as being 256Mb, it said 256Mb on the box but it most definitely has 512Mb of memory :eek:

This was also the case with the 6200 128Mb I sold to PSD99 recently. I bought that in PC World, the box said 128Mb, there was in fact 256Mb of memory on the card.

Odd eh?

Anyone else got lucky? :)
 
Ok, I had a look at Aria's cards, I saw an MSI 7300GT 256Mb at £41.07 plus £6.95 postage which equals, erm, (tstarts counting fingers) £48.02.

Michael's link, the same card, different manufacturer, costs £49.99 delivered.

So that's a saving of, uh, lemme see - £1.97.

Still, a saving's a saving I suppose, and I'd prefer MSI over Zotac but - I would not buy from Aria, I've read too many horror stories about them.

As ever - shop around :)

Don't know where you were looking , the card below is on the list in the link I gave and is about £10 cheaper than the one in the opening post . As to Aria's reliability and quality otheres here have a different opinion to you about their service . ;)

Ok, that comes to £39.19 which is a really good deal :thumb:

However, your original link gave a link to a big list of video cards, I just clicked on the first one which matched the criteria.

Perhaps if your link had been more specific, I may have been able to understand.....

Maybe Aria have got better but a coupla years ago, all I saw was complaints.

Which has put me off them forever.

That and the fact they don't supply many technical details.
