What's great about it: Great video upgrade with no problems
What's not so great: Nothing!
This video card is great for the money. It has enough muscle for most games but video use is what I needed. The card will operate with power supply as low as 300 watts which is a plus not having to upgrade that.
It was easy to install and best of all it works perfectly! Windows 7 Experience Index went from 4.2 to 6.6 for graphics and gaming graphics!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great price
This video card was easy to install and runs great on my system. I ran a power calculator and found that it would even run without having to upgrade my power supply. What a deal!

What's great about it: Cost/Performance/Warranty
What's not so great: nothing so far.
Had a radeon on my dell which is about 3 years old. Card died, glad it did. It was always a pain for one reason or another. I really dont like the Catalist software that it has to install.
After this 3yr old card completely died, went to best buy and had a newer radeon and this card in my hand. I had a budget of $100. The deciding factor for me (without having read any reviews) was I noticed it had a 2011 copyright date v.s. 2009 of the radeon (I like newer technology), also, it had a 3yr warranty v.s. 2yr for the radeon. It had a 4.8 rating on the display (thanks Best Buy). Lastly, it only required a 300w powersupply v.s. the 400w the radeon recommended. Everything else from what I could tell was similar (1GB DD3 ram, etc). When I got home, and opened my case, I noticed I only had 350w power supply in my machine, so I was happy about my choice. Installation was easy, works great with both my games and I have some high end CAD programs (Revit) that I have seen no issues with. I am very glad I chose this card.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price and Performance
What's not so great: had to buy it online cause the Besbuy didnt have it around my area.
I got the GT430 mainly for Wow. On Max graphics it gets around 60fps, but on above average I get around 100fps. The card was easy to install, I downloaded the newer drivers from the site as well as directx11. Overall the card was worth its value for being under $100, runs very quiet and i bet it can handle other games very nicely too.
