I had a friend buy this card because it had the HDMI port on it. We were using the VGA port during this attempt. After attempting an install we ran into an issue that when it booted to normal windows mode it wouldn't display anything and if left alone for a while (5 minutes or so) it would blue screen and reboot. I ended up calling tech support who walked through the normal steps of removing all the drivers and reinstalling them with no luck. I had to have her take this card back and get something else. It might work better on a different system but it didn't on the Dell Vostro 200 Series.

I bought this card (NVIDIA GeForce 210 model BFGP210512E) for my HP Pavilion y6110p about 11 days ago because I was finding more and more that I was watching tv content online. I specifically chose this model over others because of it's price and the fact that it would output both VGA and HDMI. The installation was easy and straight forward and I had no problems installing on a 64 bit Windows Vista machine. Being new to having more than one display, it took me a while to learn about extended laptops and cloning one display based on the other. In the end, I used the extended desktop setting and if I wanted to watch a youtube video on my TV, I would just drag the window over to my HDTV and voila. I could keep working at my computer and still have the video out put to the TV. I originally had a problem with the HDMI image being cut off at the top and sides. After some googling, I realized that there was a setting in the control panel for the card that would fix that. I absolutely had no problems with the card until the last few days when the fan that cools the CPU on the graphics card started getting really noisy. I might not have noticed on another computer but I specifically bought the HP computer because of it's quietness and now all I can hear is that noisy fan. This is a deal breaker for me and I will be taking it back.

Bought this card after seeing the PNY NVIDIA card was sold out in my area. I had to dig around online to see this card as "Windows 7" compatible. It's not on the front of the box, but it's boasted on the back of the BFG box. Bought it, removed my old ATI card, and it's working so far on my Pentium D system w/ Windows XP Pro SP3. The thing is, I ran Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and it spit back a result saying this card is NOT Aero compatible. I didn't install my Win7 Pro upgrade yet, but I'm worried. The BFG box suggests that it's Aero compatible, though it doesn't explicitly say so. Works fine as an HD card so far - just keep the receipt in case Aero goes bust. I know I will. NOTE: my PC setup passed every other test necessary to run Aero, with the exception of the graphics card - just like my old ATI card.

1 hr after installing had to put a fan blowing on the card. running the internet! so i kept the card for 1 month, but took it back today. it started having strange artifacts on screen, and would jump to 50 celsius with in 5 mins from cold boot on internet. there are way better cards out there for the money. 1 more thing it IS Windows 7 compatable

I liked this card because of its easy to install and use set up. It works okay, but lacks on heavy graphic usage games like EvE online. I have had it for about 4 months. It ran well till recently the fan started getting really noisy, then my monitor would shut down because the card is overheating, to the point if you touch it you will burn yourself. I'm going to return it for another one or different card. Hopefully i have better luck with a new one.

I bought this graphics card to replace my old lousy graphics card GeForce 7350 LE. Turns out it works perfectly fine, until I loaded the 720p video and the screen starts to black out. Often it blacks out sometimes when I'm playing Farmville.

I bought this card about a month ago and unfortunately I am going to have to buy a new because the it constantly overheats on games that don't require to much. I have been playing MMO games like WoW and RoM and Allods and it keeps overheating with only a few hours into gameplay. I even tried playing FPS games like CSS and TF2 and it still overheats. Overall it worked OK and I could play a few games on maxed out graphics, but its still not worth the $75 price tag. DO NOT BUY.

Had to send back to BFG for warranty repair because the cooling Fan started to fail. Currently using a VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD 4350 with no issue. I will use the BFG card as a backup when it comes back from repair.

Do not purchase any BFG producets. My GeForce 8400 died after only 9 months and when I contacted BFG for support, I was told that they are closing the company and will not be replacing any more products. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

I tried everything, even downloading a driver directly from the manufacture. It will not work with windows 7. I'm returning it for a different graphics card or wait until I see one with a box that lists windows 7.
