Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Average
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Gaming
i purchased this online, received it about a week later (on time). put it in my system; system found the new hardware and installed the drivers. i visited the website and downloaded the latest drivers; rebooted my system and then realized my power supply was too small to power it (420w with 18amp draw on the +12vdc rail). so i bought a bigger, badder power supply (650w with 22amp draw) and this video card still wouldn't work on my system. in the long run i ended up having to return the video card and revert back to my 256mb nvidia video card.
as much as i love nvidia products for their quality and reliability and would recommend their product line to anyone and everyone; i can't honestly submit a ' yes i'd recommend to a friend' answer. what i can recommend is you do your homework to make sure a card of this type/size will work in your system.
What's great about it: unknown; returned product
What's not so great: incompatible with my system
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
