Great card for an older computer upgrade
This is my first time with this brand and I am very satisfied with the quality and performance for the price. Extremely easy to install, plug and play set up is a breeze. Just remember to disable the onboard graphics default driver that is pre-installed on your motherboard by using properties/display adapter settings and make this graphics card your primary after installing this card and you will be fine. Also, updating the drivers online after install was quick and easy! FYI, remember to upgrade your power supply if it is less than 300 watts so your performance won't be degraded. I have no problems or gripes to report. This is a perfect card for sprucing up an older computer to give it some more life! I would also recommend going up to at least 1 gig of ram to get the most out of this card.

Never going back to ATi!
I was originally hesitant to upgrade my old video card, but now I'm so glad I did! This card destroys my old Radeon 9250. I have no artifacts in gaming and video playback and streaming is flawless. I am running 2 monitors at 1440x900 and 1024x768 resolution with no problems whatsoever. The included software is amazing! I am starting to use 3D Discover to play games and movies in 3D (Glasses are $10 for 10 from the Nvidia store) and the EVGA Precision software makes overclocking very easy. Also included is a YPbPr HDTV adapter as well as a DVI to VGA adapter, both of which I have found to be very useful. Works great with Windows 7 Areo, which was my main reason for upgrading.
My only complaint is the price, but this is on the low end for performance PCI cards. Also, make sure you pay attention to the requirements: 350 Watt Power Supply with 20 Amps on the +12v rail. I currently have a 250 Watt PSU and have had to detune to the lowest settings possible in EVGA Precision in order to circumvent blue screens of death and random restarts. Even with these settings, I can still play games like Age of Empires III and Battlefront II on the highest settings. I can't wait to see what kind of OC performance I can get out of this once my 650 Watt PSU arrives!

Excellent Video Card for PCs with only PCI slots
Bought it for my daughter to upgrade her Dell pc so she could play SIMS 3.
Shader 4.0 support. 512MB DDR2 Memory on card. Priced right. Graphics are smooth and look excellent. Installed in just minutes. Worked great, She now purchased the expansion pack for the game.
