Customer Ratings & Reviews

I work with computers every day, I am a software engineer and video game programmer, and all I can say is this card was well worth the price. I was having problems with my computer lagging behind with online games. Mainly when loading the game up into full screen mode or Alt+Tabbing between full screen mode and Internet Explorer. I was going to upgrade my computer ($1,300 for the gaming computer I wanted) but decided to try this card first and I am so glad I did. The card is amazing! It may not be a top-of-the-line card, but it blew me away. The graphics on my desktop icons, menus and other text on the screen are so clear and sharp. Loading my online games up into full screen mode is quick, and the graphics are outstanding. I have the game turned on to MAX on all graphics settings and I'm getting around 50 FPS during normal game play. The card was easy to install. I added to card to the system, turned it on, and then inserted the CD with the drivers. The drivers installed the first time without any problems at all. I'm not sure how it will compare to some of the GDDR5 cards out there, but if you can't afford that steep price, and want an awsome graphics card to speed up your system. This is the card for you!

The card is great! You will notice a huge difference in graphic & performance quality right away. You will not only get a major increase in graphic quality, but you will get a speed boost on your computer as well. With this card doing all the graphic calculations, it frees up your memory to process way faster. If you have a H.D. monitor, I highly suggest you pick up the DVI cable. It will give you a higher video quality boost and allow you to watch things in True H.D. There was a big difference in quality when I changed the cable from the analog to the digital DVI cable. For this price you could not expect a better card. My only complaint was that the video card is rather fat. It takes up two PCI spots; because of the built in fan it has. I was lucky that I did not need the phone modem in the slot next to the video card slot. So problem solved for me. But if you do need all your PCI slots filled and cannot spare one besides the slot it needs, this may not be the card for you. I also recommend adding a extra memory card since you are going to open up your computer anyways. You can increase your computers performance in huge ways if you add both video card and a memory card. Write down your computer specs, a sales person can direct you to the right card for your computer. They are as simple to install as this video card. Enjoy!

I've built gaming PC's before and used multiple graphic cards, I have to say this is my faveorite so far, it has Sli which is able for you to use up to 4 monitors, I only have 3, and It can play Black Ops with no problem at maxed graphics, here are my computers specs (custom computer) Inte Dual Core 2.95 Ghz (overclocked) 4 GB of 1066 RAM 750 GB of HD 600W PSU 3 LG 23" monitors And if your wondering what i play Black Ops at it's 1280x720 or something like that, You can't play Black Ops at 1920x1080 or else it will lag, but this is a mighty fine graphics card, so if you play Black Ops which is a XD11 graphics lvl and MW2 was a XD10 i believe so if you are looking for a new graphics cared that is worth $100 get this one!

I was lucky! My best buy had it for $59.00, so I figured what the heck. I popped it into a system that had a Windows 7 performance score of 3.1 (older quad core PC, 64 bit version of Win7 and only 4 GB RAM). Popped the card in and attempted to install the drivers. The driver installation process failed, so I had to dig down into the file folders and run the setup for the drivers and directx stuff manually. Once everything installed, I went to the Nvidia site and downloaded the latest and greatest drivers (the drivers on the disk are substantially out of date) and my overall system performance score jumped up to 5.3. And for what I do, that’s more than adequate. So, for what I’m doing, I think it’s a pretty decent buy. If another one shows up at the same price, I just might pick one up.

I had a few serious problems with my video and audio on my PC, and this card fixed everything. All I need now for my games to run better is a better CPU, and I'm all set!

CAUTION: neither the product description nor the specs state that two adjacent card slots are required for this card.

Installed it, hasn't overheated, and doesn't lag...
