Have you ever tried to play Bioshock with onboard graphics? If you manage to get it to work, chances are good that even at the lowest quality settings its still going to be very choppy game play.

MSI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 256MB Video Card Review

With prices ranging from $30-40, this video card is one of the most inexpensive investments you could put into your gaming machine. Ours came in a rather colorful box with all the major advantages of buying it right on the back. That's called marketing my friends, and it works. What better way to sell something than to brag about what it does right on its packaging, and put a picture of a big evil robot coyote thing on the front. You can't forget to do that. Underneath the video card itself was the warranty information, instructional booklets, a pamphlet on all the other goodies they sell that we can blow our money on.

Overall, we were very pleased with the quality of the video with this card. The extreme detail and beauty of the graphics was a fantastic jump. We have to say that we weren't impressed with the fanless cooling, as we believe that no matter what video card you are running there should always be at least a chipset fan onboard the card. After only half an hour the card was getting pretty hot and we had to shut everything down and attach a fan of our own. Even with a simple fan we had lying around the temperature was cut in half and we went on playing.
