ProsWow! Quite the speed difference from the standard onboard video. will play all high end games in most modes very well. from Dell.com I opened the case of the system and found the fan and housing had melted. I will not purchase another card from this manufacturer. Other Thoughts: I called BFG's customer service and was on hold for a considerable amount of time. I am still on hold as I write this review. from Newegg.com So i have a slimline pc with an integrated 7100. I always felt it was ok for watching videos but not good for gaming. Cod4 playable on 800x600 medium settings no shadows,glow etc etc. from Amazon.com This is a reasonable video card for the price, but it is cheap for a few reasons. The performance is middling at best - no gamer card, that's for sure, but seems to be more than up to the task of handling common stuff like web, video, email, etc. from Amazon.com Cons: After only a few months, fan is making grinding noises. Runs hot. Will not buy BFG again after this experience. Expect the fan to fail anytime now. from Newegg.com Pros: The performance was wonderful when I first installed it in my machine. Best frame rates I have seen on this machine. BFG has pretty good customer service. 24/7 - 365 Cons: After less than a month, the cooling fan started grinding and eventually stopped. from Newegg.com This device should have had a metal fan mount, not thin plastic. The heat sink gets extremely hot on this card even when under no load and not overclocked. Returned card under warranty to BFG Other Thoughts: AMD x2 64bit Vista Pro - Media Center PC Compaq Evo D510 Small Form Factor from Newegg.com Wish i had seen them before purchase at a local tech store. The cards fan is now useless, therefore the card is useless. Now i am without card; because i don't have a receipt and BFG tech support has failed to answer my fan request. Other Thoughts: Don't waste your money on this card; the card isn't really that great for the price(HD4670 outperforms at the same power consumption) and it craps itself after just 2-3 months in most cases. from Newegg.com The BFG 9400 GT works great with my son's Call of Duty. The on board video in our HP 6200 just couldn't keep up. from Amazon.com Amazon says this card is an AGP video card, which it definitely is not. It is a PCI Express card, which is really frustrating considering the week I spent waiting for this for it to turn out to be the wrong card and I've needed a new AGP video card for 2 weeks now. from Amazon.com
