- Needed more info
Thought I knew what I was doing technically speaking but found out otherwise when I received the product. Will have to upgrade hard drive, ram, and motherboard for this to work, so it was a more expensive project than I originally thought. It was probably mostly my fault, but I think the requirements for this upgrade could have been more clearly stated. I'm sure it'll work fine when I've upgraded my upgrade.

- Crashed Just After A Year
I installed this card in a new HP dual core AMD machine. After 13 months the card crashed and was worthless. After trying everything to revive it I sent a request to PNY for a replacement under their 3 year warranty. They said they couldn't find a record of my registration and since the card had reached end-of-life they refused to replace it. So apparently, 13 months is end-of-life on these cards. I would not recommend this card unless you plan to replace it again in a year. I have replaced ... Read More

- Plays all the games but noisy fan!
My only complaint is that the fan can sometimes start to make a loud buzzing sound. I have a Dell Dimension 9100 so it's rather easy for me to open it and tap on the fan, and surprisingly it isn't chronic so I haven't yet thrown it out the window.

Plays all the games though. Was really inexpensive... for about $50 it does the job.

- Great!
I had a Geo Force FX 5500 and this was a giant step up for my gaming. I am using a simple E-machines T5048 and this made the graphics just awesome. It fixed the lag problems I had in Company of Heroes. Now if I can just get Qwest to up my DSL speed.

- Unreliable video card - avoid it
Bought this video card some 3 months ago to replace the existing card on my Dell PC. The fan on the card started to make noise two weeks ago. The noise level got worse over time. Finally, it became unberable so I took it off my PC. Tried to contact the manufacturer without success. An inexpensive card but unreliable - avoid it.
