Customer Reviews

Great Video card for the money
I had a GeForce 6600 and bought Call of Duty 4 The game ran but would freeze after 30+ minutes of play time. The Geforce 6600 was being maxed out buy the call of duty 4 game. I upgraded to The GeForce 8500Gt and the game now runs great no more freezing and the graphics are the best ever. Its not the best card out there but its the best bang for the buck I have no regreats buying this card I almost got the GeForce 8400 gs and it was $20.00 more than I got the 8500 Gt for thru amazon. Amazon rocks they have some of the best deals around.

Great Card for Price
After much research I chose the card because the price was good and it is fully compatible with VISTA. I play Titan Quest and my onboard Nvidia would only play on the lowest game settings. With this card I can play at the highest settings and with no load on my CPU. This card was a breeze to install as VISTA has drivers built in. You will however want to load the latest drivers from Nvidia.

Great card!
Hey, for around $100 you can't go wrong with this card. It's not a top of the line card, but it does alot of things really really well. It improved the graphics on alot of my games and i didn't even change any of the settings. You can't go wrong with this Directx 10 compatible card!
