5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Value - A great upgrade on a tight budget, 22 May 2008
By Bri (England) - See all my reviews
I recently bought a new PC after my old one died.

The new system I bought had on board graphics which, when running windows Vista Aero wasn't particularly impressive.

Having added some memory to the machine I then decided to upgrade the graphics. Having seen the reviews for this card I decided to buy it (admittedly not from Amazon) and I have to say, for the price this card is amazing!!

It improves my general system performance massively, and runs Aero extremely smoothly. Games are also vastly improved and given the size of the card this is a big achievement.

The card itself is very small, runs extremely quiet and also has very low power consumption. In addition to this unlike a lot of graphics cards this one doesn't require a connection to your psu - just plug it into your PCI-E slot, install the drivers and you're away! Incidentally, it says on the box that it requires a 350 watt power supply unit or higher but my PC (Dell Inspiron 531. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.3ghz dual core processor, 250gb hard drive, 3gb RAM, on board HD sound and this graphics card running Windows Vista Home Premium) has a 300 watt power supply unit and handles it all perfectly even when running games. My system never gets hot and always stays whisper quiet.

In all this is a fantastic card. If you're upgrading from an on board system or do not have much money available I highly recommend it. At this price you can't go wrong :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good item but fan noise is loud!, 5 Jun 2008
By G. Turnbull (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I haven't boiuight this for gaming, but more to improve general graphics performance within Vista and this does so well.

However, the fan is noisy. I read teh reviews here and noticed others have commented on it, but others said it wasn't and I took a gamble. I have it on my desktop and Icouldn't hear the main PC fan, but this is very audible, even from teh far side of the room. If you're going to put the PC on the floor and have a few other items around it such as boxes etc, I suspect you may not even notice the fan, but this noise is going to drive me crazy and I'm going to have to return it. I also suspect that if you're buying this for gaming, you wont notice the noise with your game sound going, but if you want a quiet fan, AVOID this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Graphics on a budget., 7 Jul 2008
I bought this to replace the original graphics card installed in my HP Pavillion PC. The quality of the graphics and the controller software is very good and I noticed an instant improvement from the previous card.

I chose this card specifically because it came with a fan to cool the chip - I'm hoping that this will extend its lifespan compared to my last graphics card which started going fuzzy after 12 months of use. I can't hear any noise from this as the 2 fans on the PC case drown it out. If you do have a very quiet computer you may notice some noise though - bear this in mind.

The reasons for only 4 stars:
1. The instructions for installation aren't the best, I would advise you to ignore them and just install and then add the drivers.
2. The fan doesn't have the cool looking cover shown on the photo (although this doesn't really matter as you never see it).
