It IS what It Is

Great card for the money that being said If your looking for a gaming card keep looking this card wont do it . It just dont have the cores to pull what i call bad FPS its gets like less then 5 FPS on games like Planetside 2 ,BF ,COD world of tanks will pull 20's and honestly i got a 13 year old AGP card that will pull higher FPS

Bad

the fan died a month after installing it can't really handle anything it does play skyrim and others but it lags badly, its not suited for newer games but for anything else its all you need assuming the fan doesn't go bad

Not truly low-profile

Nice video card... but does not include a low profile endplate... so if you want to put this in your thin system, better plan to modify the endplate, or hope you can find one somewhere.

Not even good enough for an upgrade 5 years ago.

If you're looking to get an awesome upgrade for a gaming PC, pass this one by. It has nothing that today's games can handle.

Worth it!

This product is currently selling for 39.99 after MIR, which is pretty fantastic in my opinion. Keep in mind the GT520 is a little bit slower than the older GT220, and the 430 Fermi, however, the 2GB of RAM make up for it. This will run Diablo 3, EVE, League of Legends, all on medium settings, which is pretty fantastic for the price. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to upgrade without breaking into the high tier of cards.

It is what it is

Good price and great value if you need a video card. This is the second time in the past 7 years I have owned an Nvidia Geforce product. The last one had the fan start screaching after 3 years and had to be replaced. I moved to an ATI product and it worked flawlessly until I got rid of computer. I purchased this particular card due to price and features, and wanting to see if quality had improved. Unfortunately the Nvidia use of cheap chinese fans caused me send the first one back after 3 weeks. It sounded like hamsters were in my desktop. Recieved a new one this week and so far it hasn't acted up. If you have the money get an ATI product over the Nvidia Geforce line.
