Customer Reviews
perfect card!
this is the perfect card for the casual gamer or multimedia person. although it an handle games like crysis and such i would not recommend it.
works great w mlb 2009
Ihad an ATI aiw600x but it would ot suppport the graphics for MLB 2009, Just changed out the cardsm and now I can even hit Sandy Kofax
I purchased this card as an upgrade for the computer that I just bought. I'm happy with this card. I'm not a big time gamer or anything, I mostly play The Sims 2. It runs the Sims 2 on Vista perfect. I couldn't be happier. So to play games like The Sims 2 this card is perfect.
Good card for low end games. Bought another for SLI, and the cards would work with an old driver. If you install the new drivers, the cards wont work. New Nvidia drivers are no longer supporting this card in SLI!(Left a support ticket and that was the answer i got from there tech) Nice to Know after I bought another card for the sole purpose of SLI.But for a single card...works pretty good...as stated before you get what you pay for
The saying ''You get what you pay for'' is the truth with this Graphics Card! The graphics are not that great and the setting are not very expandeable! I would not buy this again!
