Great Value for 512MB DDR2 Video Card
Tremendously suprised by the card. Figured that you get what you pay for with a cheap card. Not so! This card exceeded all my expectations. Upgraded from a GeForce 6200 256MB PCI to the Galaxy 8400 512MB PCI-e card. What a difference. It plays video smoothly with no burps. Web page browsing is VERY fast loading. Even the text on the screen is clear (despite earlier reviews). Look, you can pay more if you need all the bells and whistles and so forth. I do game a little and I do some video editing. If you are a middle of the road user like me, then this card might be for you. If you are a power freak then move on. BTW, this card did not need any additional cabling or power supply upgrades unlike the more expensive cards. I would suggest updating the drivers with the CD provided - did seem to make a difference. Galaxy is a familiar brand to many gamers, but it is certainly not one of the best-known. Founded in 1994, Galaxy Technology manufactures video cards, motherboards, and TV tuners. Galaxy's video cards exclusively feature NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, and their motherboards exclusively feature NVIDIA nForce core logic. My PC is a Pentium Dual Core e2200, 4GB, 320GB EIDE WD HDD. I can't say enough that I really feel good about this card and think that I really got a great bargain.

great for 50$
i bought a computer to play games but i found that its only flaw was that its graphics card was bad. this is perfect for casual gamers, with its low price and easy to install. this can run lots of games like rome total war, dawn of war and combat arms flawlessly. it cant play the newest, most demanding titles like empire total war or supreme commander, but its perfect for anyone who dosen't know much about computers or dosen't want to spend a lot of money to play games.
