Good price to performance ratio

I've been into car audio since my first car, when I was in high school (30 years ago). I've always gravitated towards JL Audio subs and they're one of the few company's (from back in the day), that hasn't "sold out" and still make good quality products, and manage to keep prices reasonable.
As a testimony to their quality, I sold two (2) used 8" JL Audio subs to a friend of mine back in 1995 (purchased new in 1990), and they are still in his truck thumping away and sounding great to this day.

This sub, isn't going to win any awards, but if your looking for a quality sub that will bring you many years of enjoyment (if you treat it kind), with great sound quality, that can be used in a relatively small sealed enclosure (or larger ported enclosure), and won't break the bank. Look no further!

I installed one of these subs in a custom made sealed enclosure, down-firing, under the rear seat of my Nissan Titan. It's powered by a Zapco ST-5XII amp rated at 160 watts RMS @ 4 ohms on the sub output and is paired with JL Audio C2-650 components, front and rear (80 watts RMS to each). After proper gain and crossover settings (it takes time to get it right), I'm very pleased with the sound quality within my vehicle.

You won't hear me coming from blocks away, but it's plenty of crystal clear sound to fill my truck and then some, and more than enough power to play uncomfortably loud if I choose.

The bass notes hit clear and precise at all volume levels, and in a sealed enclosure everything stays tight, just the way I like it.

I wish they made a 2 ohm version of this sub so I can get the most out of my amp, but it is what it is.

Using it right now, cheap and good performance.

Excellent product. Great performace / price ratio. You can not play top games at highest resolution, but with this card you can play them just 1 step before and below $350, more than good enough.

High performance at a sweet price. I use it to upgrade my T400s and find the laptop work much more swift.

This is a nice unit for the price. Looks good, quiet, and gets me the speeds I need.

Good comp, i'm pretty impressed the speed on this guy has. For the price, i3 3.4ghz its a great deal. The only thing you'll need to do is change the graphics card if you want to game but other than that, if your just streaming movies and such, it'll do the job and then some.

Gives Drobo Mini blazing speed. Great price/performance value.

I have purchased 2 of these so far and have been satisfied with the performance of both.

I recently had a XFX Geforce GTS 250 burn out on me, and needed an emergency, drop-in replacement.  It was tough to find a card which matched or exceeded the specs of the original card without busting the bank, but this one fit the bill at an amazing performance-to-price ratio.  It was easy to install, and after updating the nVidia graphics drivers (no need to use the CD), everything was back up and running, along with my original graphics settings profiles.  I was pleasantly surprised that even though on paper this card has similar benchmarks, most games run much better than on the previous card (the old card still retails as double the price of the Geforce GTX 650!). Not only is the performance-to-price ratio impressive, but the performance-to-power-consumption ratio is high as well.  It draws less power from the power supply and runs much quieter.

Games tested so far:
Planetside 2 - PhysX works correctly on this card (particle effects), whereas the previous card had some issues.  I was also able to turn on fog shadows, ambient occlusion, and bump up most settings from medium to high while staying at 30 FPS.  Both cards supported turning motion blur on.
fs2_open 3.6.18 (open source upgrade of Descent Freespace 2).  I turned on all graphics options available on this game, including new experimental features, and it looks absolutely amazing while being silky smooth.  The old graphics card would occasionally stutter when switching from one capital ship to another.

Conclusion:
This card is a great value if you want to boost performance on an aging system, or as an affordable replacement for a bad video card or on-board video card.  It supports modern features (physX, CUDA, the latest versions of directX and OpenGL), and should play most new games with medium to high settings at 30-60 FPS.  The large amount of ram on this card should reduce stuttering when moving around an environment with lots of high-resolution textures.

Great performance for the price!  It feels somewhat cheap (AF is a bit noisy) but the results you get, specially the videos, are worth the $$.

Performance is good enough for 1080p if one is reasonable about quality settings.  Small size is a plus. The biggest complaint is the loud fan..  It keeps the GPU cool - hasn't topped 56C yet, but its not necessary.  I used Afterburner to set the fan to 40% and it doesn't go about 65C.  Basically, Gigabyte needs to give this thing a more relaxed fan profile.

Great performance for the price. I use this under my desk at work. Sometimes the sensor on the bottom of the device that is meant to cut power to the unit if it tips over gets stuck even when the unit is upright. Shaking it back and forth a little gets it going.

Puts out just enough heat for my workspace.

First, I want to note that Sapphire video cards have always functioned well for me.  It is a very good video card, but - let's be honest - in this price range you cannot expect cutting edge performance.  Still it made a very noticeable difference in the graphics speed and quality on my son's computer at a price to performance ratio that is hard to beat.  I just can't justify the $500+ high-end cards, but this much power for a little over $50 (after rebate) is a great upgrade.

If you can get it for the right price - this card delivers very good bang for the buck. My kids can run most games on High settings and while it does not punch through the Ultra settings - for the cost it really pulls through.

Very good price-performance...
* I found these earphones to be comfortable and stayed in my ear quite well during running and weightlifting.
* Sound quality is GOOD, but not great. Way better than my stock pair. Solid treble & mid-range. A little more bass would be nice.
* Plenty of cord, maybe a little too much.
* Reasonable price

If you do not need the 3-button mike and volume control, then do not purchase this model. It won't be worth the added weight and cost. I didn't find the extra weight onerous, but since it was not needed that allowed me to go with a lighter, less expensive (by more than 50%) triathlon inspire model.

A solid product with good price/performance ratio. Install 6x4G on 5 CAD workstations with i7 processor.  Smooth operation from day 1.

I am not interested in paying premiums for ultra-state-of-the-art computer hardware. Prices of even the best components frequently become decent deals after successors are introduced and touted. This is one (I paid $113). If you are not into pushing your machine to the limit no matter the cost, this is one fine card. I assemble my computers from parts I pick up from online sellers; I look for stable, reliable performance, rather than the ability to max out the ultimate in-vogue tests. I am not a "gamer," although I do use my machines for graphics-intensive enterprises. I probably over-research my purchases, looking for commonsense performance and reliability. I recently updated my desktop with what some might consider "dated" hardware: an AMD 6350 six-core processor; 8 GB Corsair 1866 ram; ASUS M5A97 R2 MB (so I am crossfire capable) - all for a very reasonable sum, as these are a little dated. W/O OC I am getting 3.9 GHz from the processor. Windows experience Ratings: CPU = 7.5; RAM = 7.9; Graphics = 7.5; Gaming Graphics = 7.5. Okay, my GPU ain't giving me 7.9, but 7.5 makes me plenty happy (have not tweaked the GPU, so I could probably raise that score). As is, it runs fast, cool, and quiet. I do use multiple monitors, so the port options influenced my original choice. I have been running this GPU a month now, and it seems flawless.
