MSI nVidia GeForce 9800GT 1 GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card N9800GT-MD1G

I ordered this card to upgrade my Dell Precision 370 so that I could use it as a gaming box. I installed the card in my cpu and it was able to give me signal off of the HDMI port right out of the box. Of course I downloaded the drivers but I was very happy that I could hook it up to my 40" Sony Bravia right away to look for them online. The card runs fairly quiet. You can hear the fan but I was surprised how quiet it was for such a large fan. Overall I am very happy with it.

I had purchased my first 9800gt back in February 2010. I am running my dual core 4gb custom built htpc using this vid card. I stream sports, movies, tv as well as using it day to day usage. I have it hooked up to my 65" mitsubishi dlp tv and my 22" inch lcd widescreen monitor. And the picture is Awesome! It runs movies, video games, sports, and day to day apps. to perfection. Bravo MSI.

I liked it so much I did not even consider purchasing another video card other than this one for my home/office pc. I just set a complete home office / man cave up on the third floor of my home. Gonna hook this new vid card up to a 47" Vizio lcd tv and my 25" Desktop monitor. I am also using a Logitech z5500 home theatre 5.1 surround system and this vid card and the sound system are better than going to the movies.

Pick this one...know they have 5th gen gddr on newer cards but please make sure you are comparing apples to apples and 256bit processing is much better...Read more

I am satisfied with the video quality. I install it in a motherboard Gigabyte Intel Core i7/i5/LGA1156/4DDR3-2200/CrossFireX/SLI/2GBE/Raid/SATA3/eSATA/USB3.0/7.1-CH/1394 ATX Motherboard GA-P55A-UD4P, with a processor i7 860, and it works very well.
