I had no problem setting this up. You can download the latest NVIDIA drivers, and roll. I've seen a major computer manufacturer sell a work computer with a lesser model card for $26 more. With Windows 7, this is a reasonably priced video card solution. I don't know about heavy gaming, but my son likes it for his on-line games. My Linux Mint (Debian edition) had no problem with this card. Nice card at the lower end. The heat sink is rather large, so be aware of that. But it should fit even micro-ATX boxes. Would recommend, and would buy again. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ASUS GeForce 210 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card, EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD3/V2(LP) (Personal Computers) I bought this in March to upgrade for HDMI output. I was nervous as it said requires 300 watt power supply minimum, but I have not had any issues with this. I have a 300 watt supply, running this card, firewire card, 2 drives, and 2 fans. No problem so it must draw a lot less than the box says. Runs at 33'c but have not over clocked and put to the max. Improved my desktop display and it is sending everything in 1080p to my HDtv. For someone who is not tech savy at all, I found this to install easy, works well and the interface is easy to understand. Good buy for $29 after rebate. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ASUS GeForce 210 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card, EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD3/V2(LP) (Personal Computers) I got this to replace a dying 8800GT I was using solely to play video on my HDTV. I'm very happy with it. The price, even before the rebate, was a steal. The card idles at about 40C and I've never seen it go above 51C at full load. That's cooler than most GeForce 210 WITH fans run. I wouldn't recommend this for games, but if you can fit it in your HTPC and want a great card to use for hardware accelerated video playback, this is it. |
