This was an upgrade from a 128mb NVIDIA card in my old Dell. I have Windows 7 RC1 and it installed the drivers right away without the CD or downloading the drivers. It boosted my graphics from an index score of 2 to 3.7 and gaming graphics from 3.3 to 5.7. I mainly bought this to upgrade the graphics for World of Warcraft and I am not disappointed! I'm running it with all options on full and getting no video lag at all! I didn't realize what I was missing until I put this card in. I didn't realize that HDMI was a separate adapter that you have to buy. Not that big of a deal for me as I'm not planning on using that feature any time soon, just be aware.
What's great about it: easy install, big improvement
