Great video card for weaker power supplies.

If you have an older computer or a computer with a small power supply this card is about the best you can do. Unless you want to get into buying a new power supply and possibly a new case (if you bought a factory built one you might be forced to sometimes) you just have to make do.
Well, by making do with much more "basic" power supplies in the 250 watt range this video card is perfect. Above average graphics considering how low wattage it is, doesn't get "to hot" under lots of stress, and has a great price.
Sure it's not going to run modern games on high and doesn't have the power of modern cards for other tasks, but it's still a step above integrated video cards.
If you have a cheaper or older computer and just want to upgrade the video card without having to start upgrading everything else it's great. If you're trying to do an overhaul of a machine, just move along.
Only negative really is that since it's an older version the software that comes with it probably won't work very well with a more modern computer, but that's almost to be expected.
What's great about it: 250w requirement, decent graphics power, price
What's not so great: software and drivers
I would recommend this to a friend!

AMAZING LOW BUDGET GRAPHICS CARD!
on May 2, 2010
Posted by: Anonymous
from San Antonio,TX
As soon I got home with the card I installed it in my computer and did the installation and it only took 1 minute for the installation!(With the CD)
There were no problems at all and my games got about a 40 frame boost! Since I originated from a junky 8400gs. I could play Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock 2, Left 4 Dead 2 , etc all at max settings. Good Card.
What's great about it: Good low budget card. Sped up my games alot.
What's not so great: Nothing! :D
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought several high-end games including Empire Total War and Napoleon Total War. Runs these games on medium to high graphics with no problems.
Set up was very easy, my first time installing a graphics card so I was a little apprehensive, but it was very simple. Haven't had any issues in about 1.5 years of use so it has good duration, reliability and pricing. If you are just beginning to upgrade I would start with this card.
What's great about it: Set up, performance
What's not so great: nothing yet (btw ~1.5 years of use)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Newbie
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Gaming
Pros: super simple to install (however user error prevented me from doing it correctly the first time around... my fault.. luckily YouTube is super informative). My gaming on Everquest 2 on "Balance" setting is perfect (anything else is pretty laggish on my comp). All my other simple games (apps on facebook, bejeweled, other silly games... YoVille) run a lot smoother). My Windows Experience Index went from a 3.2 to a 3.7 (Gaming Graphic went from 3.2 to a 4.6) (Graphics went from a 3.4 to a 3.7).
Cons: Nothing really, but make sure you research everything about your comp before buying. I had to by a power supply upgrade, because my comp has 250 w power supply, and the card requires a 300 or better.
This was my first time upgrading my comp. I researched for 2 weeks to make sure I got the right one. I have a HP Comp which was built for entertainment purposes, and I wanted to game on it. It had good bones and needed minor upgrades. I attempted to play Everquest (the Free Version) on it, and the vid card failed to provide the simple task on "Extreme Performance" (meaning you are willing to sacrifice overall visual gaming so you can actually play the game). Never the less, everything looked like tetris pieces and it was still a pretty weak performance, like everything looked dark ever at the highest "brightness" level on my monitor. It just wasn't fun to play, and all my friends were like.. dood you suck. Just upgrade your vid card. In which I did, and could not be more happier with it.
What's great about it: Store availability for last minute upgrades!
What's not so great: Noob friendly!

Great Value

Well I have a Dell Inspirion 531 for some time and i have been recently working on it to make it better, adding RAM, new Processors, ect. I got some money for my birthday yesterday and I went down to best buy to get a new graphics card. I use to have a GE FORCE 6150 SE.. which to say the least is very out dated. Games like WoW and CoD were only able to played at minumum-low average graphics with lag.
Since i installed this graphics card, I can run World Of Warcraft with settings on Ultra (minus a few notches on shadow quality, to increase FPS). Call of Duty runs on Highest. Heroes of Newerth runs on maximum quality with no lag.
What i love most about this card is that is requires low watts. My computer has an embarrassing 300W battery so it was hard to come across a card that did what i wanted it to do with that requirement.
As I said, Very much worth the $70 if you are looking just to increase game play, quality, and FPS.
What's great about it: It does what it says it does for cheap!
What's not so great: Installation took a little bit, just due to my computer though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything works fine so far and this is a very big improvement over my old video card. I had a little trouble getting it to work, but it wasn't a problem with the card. At first, I had an extreme amount of corruption in windows. After some time with tech support, they suggested that I use a driver sweeper to completely remove the old video driver and to update the motherboard drivers. I did so and it worked perfectly.
What's great about it: Works great! Tech support was very good.
What's not so great: Nothing so far.

I got this card because i ran cod4 on all low settings and got about 10fps. I picked it up and because it was $40, i didnt think it would be much of an upgrade. i can now play cod4 with medium settings and 50-90 fps. it runs gmod on all high. I couldnt fit it into the x16 slot at first. took about 10 minutes of pushing and what not. overall it is a great card for less than $100
What's great about it: Runs well, Got on sale for $40
What's not so great: Had a hard time setting it up
I would recommend this to a friend!
