Pros:?Gaming, Finances, online gaming ReviewThis seems to currently be the highest performance video card on the market that will fit the smaller 530 / 531s cases. I put this in my 530s and it works great. from Dell.com Pros: Newegg shipped same day and I received less than two days later. I wanted an improvement in gaming for my helo flight simulator. My AMD x2 2.2mhz with a Radeon 1250 onboard got a 3.2 windows performance rating, even with 8gigs ram. I put this card in and got a 4.9. from Newegg.com Charming performance. I've never seen Vista 64 bit performing so FAST!!! 1GB FACTORY + these 2 sticks= 5GB + my XFX 9500 GT LOW PROFILE + Core2 2.13ghz = RESIDENT EVIL 5 on MAX SETTINGS!!! 33+ FPS!!! from Newegg.com Granted, these are just games like Half-life 2, Portal, or Team Fortress 2, but nonetheless, I am impressed. The card stays at about 37 C, reaching a maximum of 42 C. The CUDA support allows me to encode videos at 3x what I previously had. The install process was seamless, and took less than ten minutes. from Newegg.com How small it is is also a nice plus. Cons: I have this problem, when I open a program, a box shows up on the center of my screen and doesn't go away, I have to reset my resolution, and set it back for it to go away, and this is every time I open a program. I am on live support with XFX now though, we will see how that goes, I've tried it on multiple monitors, so I know it's the card itself. Other Thoughts: Yeah, I'm glad I don't have a slimline case, if you do, get the bracket kit. from Newegg.com Pros: Compared to a 8600 GT 1GB, this one is better. Overclocked this from speeds of 550/1375/400, to 760/1825/640. from Newegg.com Pros: Easy to install, works great, software no problem to install either... Had to to have a low profile card, so this was my choice and I am glad it was... Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: I will probably use XFX GeI will probably use XFX GeForce cards again... from Newegg.com Greatest thing, no power supply upgrade required! Works perfect using the stock 250W P/S. Replaced an ATI Radeon 1300X 128mb and boosted vista graphics rating to 5.0 and games to 5.3 from 3.4 and 3.7. Never winter nights 2 now runs near highest settings from the absolute lowest settings. from Newegg.com Pros: I had only 2 cards in my life including this one. Have an old BFG GeForce FX 5200, but this is a heavenly LEAP OF FAITH!!!Plays The Sims 3 in all detail with all the extra settings enabled, even the smooth rendering and the 2.0+ detail rendering, gives me 125 fps easily. Tried OBLIVION and Lost Planet EC in this with all settings maxed, Just HEAVENLY!!!!! from Newegg.com Pros: Its a el cheapo video card that works for simple functions like websurfing and viewing pictures and movie clips. I can't say much about the performance for games with this as I haven't tested this (probably won't). from Newegg.com
