Customer Reviews
Great bargain
Bought this for the wife when I got a new 22 inch monitor, she had a 17 inch, and I thought I would give her my 17 inch and allow her to have twice the 'desktop' space she currently had, and this little card did the trick with flying colors.
GeForce 256MB Video card
The Video card works great, no problems, and I'm using dual monitors.
For the price, I'm well satisfied.
Works on my old Dell E310
I picked this up recently for less than $30/- and installed it on my old Dell E310 which required a much needed boost. My machine have only PCI slots (and 1 PCI-E 1x) so a PCI card was obvious choice.
Pros:
- Very easy to install (whole process took less than 5 minutes)
- Decent performance for my old machine
- Supports 2 monitors
- Boosted my Vista Experience score (for 3D) from 1.0 to 2.9
- Vista Aero features now run flawlessly on my machine (they would not run on older card).
- Vista installed drivers automatically (I had to do nothing as far as device drivers are concerned)
- Movies and Pictures look a bit better (more sharper with better colors)
- Very competitive price
Cons:
- Absolutely none so far
This card thou does not seem to be powerful enough to run modern games, older games should be fine.
Definitely recommended for home users who cannot upgrade to PCI-E cards.
