Does not last long

The AGP graphics card worked well for a little over a year and went out. You can find something that lasts better.

Very good value!

Doesn't have the adjust-ability of my old Gainward 4200 card but renders just as well to this point. Haven't pushed it to its limits yet but time will get me there.

OK for the price

The disk driver that come with it for some reason was not working, usually they are old anyway so I found their site and went to download the drivers and all the links for drivers in their web are corrupted and does not work, they are in China and that is no
