Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A perfect item
I bought this because the orange box games would crash using my integrated intel card, which was the weak point in my otherwise well equipped system. The card costs NOTHING considering what you get. It installed easily and I can now run anything I care to at the highest settings with unvarying smoothness. Almost any computer should have enough wattage to support it so you won't have to mess around with, god forbid, extra power cables, and the built in fan is more than up to the job.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Waiting For Return To Castle Wolfenstein II with my 8500
the most awesome thing about Nvidia is the Forceware drivers.
No need to have 15 different cd's lying around for 15 different Vcards.
Those of you knew to building your own system keep in mind that there is
NO magic video card that will make your system all better. You also need RAM
and a nice CPU on a good mainboard. For parents looking for a card for
their child's PC yes go ahead and get this one or up from here. You always
want to keep your hardware in ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pleased
This card is great product and at a good price ,thinking of buying another for the SLI experience



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Outstanding
Got the card. Inserted into my Compaq Presario 2008 model. Vista recognized it automatically. Did not use windows setup. Downloaded drivers from nVidea & installed. Been kicking butt ever since. No problems what so ever with Compaq system. Works well with Xonar Dx sound card on intel boards. You may want to invest in a 400+ power supply box as these devices generate heat and demand more power to run.
