Pros: i just got the card and installed it and it runs very good to me for using a old computer i can play cs at 100 fps lock at all time and css on 50 just cause my CPU is a lil slow but it is a very good card to me i will recommend this to a friend if they want to get a card but use pci-e its faster. Cons: NONE SO FAR Other Thoughts: wish i had a better computer to play so new games from Newegg.com Pros: waiting to get the card hopefully it will work i have a intel celeron 1.3 GHZ 512 mb ram 150w power supply i hope this works i will let every one know about it when it get's here> Cons: none for now from Newegg.com Pros: One of the most powerful options for the PCI interface (and not even half bad compared to some of the AGP options considering both interfaces are pretty much dead at this point), and it's passively cooled so it makes no noise. It helped me resurrect an old Pentium 3 933mhz system I had lying around that had terrible integrated video that I wanted to use for some of my XP apps that aren't compatible with Vista/Win 7. Seemed to dramatically improve general system performance. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap,lot better then integrated card,works,plays older games good Cons: not a gaming card,won't play new games well ( but I didn't expect it too ) Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace a integrated video card ( the vga out's prongs got damaged ) from Newegg.com Pros: Reasonable price. Good 3D performance. Easy installation with plenty of features. Cons: Nvidia decided to remove some of the functionality of the TV out port. from Newegg.com Pros: None worst video card i have ever had the pleasure to waste money on. Cons: Had to rma my card the same day it arrived. from Newegg.com Pros: Vista drivers Cons: none Other Thoughts: These are cheap cards and you get what you pay for. I needed them to upgrade to vista on some old PCI only boxes that had intel 800 series graphics, which don't have vista drivers. If you want a card for better graphics performance, get a MB with PCIe first. from Newegg.com Pros: Not a single one to be found this card is worse than onboard video. Cons: Card bench marked lower than my onboard video. from Newegg.com Pros: I needed a good card that wasnt expensive so I gave this one a shot, and for being a PCI card rather than PCI-E, its really good, my DVD's look great, I install the lates driver from Nvidia rather than the CD and it works great. and its fanless so I dont have to worry about any fan noise. from Newegg.com Pros: I dont have many Cons: This card is horid!its definately not for gaming if you want a card go with another one this one wont do anything my onboard graphics of my emachine is better than thisIn all dont use this card go with something like the geforce 9500 gt (almost same price 100x better) Other Thoughts: couple things on my pc------------------------------2 Gefoce 9800 GTQuad core processor (3.0GHz)500 GB HD 10000 RPM from Newegg.com
