I'm not a big gamer. My daughter plays Sims 3 and Guild Wars with no problem. I have ran DVDs and streaming movies on this card without any lags. High resolution pictures look beautiful on it. My daughter also says the computer doesn't lag anymore when we have our Roku player going and she is playing online games, and there has been no change in speed of connection so I attribute the lack of lag to the card. It has low power consumption so I was able to run it on a 305w power supply (the minimum required is 300w for this card) a huge plus for me having a computer about 5 years old. It also has NO fan, another plus. I've had 2 fans break in the past, one from dust (I live in the desert) and another that was clean but it was just cheap and the plastic got brittle. Installation is easy if you know what you're doing, it basically just plugs into the slot and then you install the drivers after you have started the computer.
The major drawback is not with the card but with...Read more

I purchased this video card for a small form factor PC. It was advertised as a low profile board. The board arrived with the full-size bracket and a low-profile replacement bracket. The full-size bracket has cutouts for digital video, S-video, and VGA. The BIG problem is that the low-profile bracket did not have a cutout for VGA. This was not made clear in the ad on Amazon. I almost sent the product back to Amazon for a refund. Before I did this I did a bit of exploring and found that XFX, the manufacturer of the board, makes a "Low Profile Accessory Kit" which is available from a number of online vendors (but NOT Amazon) for between 3 and 8 bucks! I ordered one of these kits and it worked like a charm. It has the VGA cutout next to the other cutouts, so you will need two side-by-side slots on your small form factor PC in order to use this board with a VGA monitor. OK, so I gave this three stars and that is mainly for the hassle. Once I got the board installed, it has worked just fine...Read more

I installed this card on my HP Pavilion a1130n running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and ever since it's been running very slow with CPU load stuck at 100%. I've been trying to locate updates for its drivers or even BIOS updates to see if it solves the problem to no avail. I'm frustrated with this card, I believe it was a mistake to buy it and I will probably end up removing it and stay with my onboard video that doesn't cause any trouble.
