What People Say

finally after two weeks of vista this and vista & mobo that, tech support at msi admitted it was the card, it is now in rma with newegg, thanks newegg, you rock. from Newegg.com this is more nvidia's driver issues though then msi's problem and that is something to consider and not let it affect your purchase decision on this card. from Newegg.com it stays very cool, even under graphic intensive games. from Newegg.com the 8x agp for the old card) - and it's plenty fast for my needs (little gaming) from Newegg.com bioshock plays good and looks great at medium detail settings, it plays world in conflict good enough to be fun. from Newegg.com other thoughts: i don't play games at all but didn't want to get the cheapeast card. from Newegg.com i'm sure i could push 10k out of it and i plan on doing so :) it's dx10 but i doubt it plays those games well, however it plays all my dx9 games very very well. from Newegg.com a great middle of the road card for the occational gamer. from Newegg.com i do like to play an occasional game and have good graphics, but not avid to the point of letting it dictate the whole design of my desktop. from Newegg.com a hard core gamer should go for something with a little more power, but the fps i'm getting with this card in current games is plenty good enough to enjoy playing said games. from Newegg.com
