Inexpensive but you get what you pay for

Arrived safe and sound in fairly standard packaging. The card was easy to install and came with drivers, but it quickly became apparent that better drivers already existed. I tried using Oculus Rift sensors as it should, but despite the advertised speeds and using the correct drivers, the card failed to support the sensors. All drivers are updated, the PCI connector is fine and the 700W PSU is working, which can easily support all devices. The bus speed on my motherboard was also more than enough to handle it. The map as a whole looks buggy. It supports controllers and other simple low-speed devices. Plugging in a mouse results in odd tracking and jittery lag, while trying to use audio devices results in hum or buzz. I don't know how to properly test board components, but it's safe to output the board as Fubar. It works, but hardly.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • No insurance
