A cheap cardStrengths: Cheap Weakness: Loud fan, old GPU. This video card uses the Nvidia G84 GPU. It handles Vista desktop well. But it's not a gamer's card. The fan noise really drives me crazy. I ended up returning it. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Good video cardStrengths: cheap Weakness: not good in game All I needed was a basic graphics card better than the one on the motherboard. Main use is to watch HD movies. It does this fine. I have not tried any games. I had to replace an older NVidia graphics card of the 6200 series after it went bad and this is better performance and lower fan noise than my older card.

Great little card for the price!
Strengths: DVI, HDCP
Weakness: Gaming
By all means, purchase this card if you are using for an HDCP machine (I am using it with blu-ray on my HTPC, and it works great). I tried playing a few games with it, and as expected, it didn't stack up well (Madden 08 worked fine, but WoW was terrible). Realize the limitations of the card, and you'll be happy.
Do not buy this thinking you can game with it, that's not the intended purpose.
