Have just upgraded my Windows 7 64-bit budget system with this GPU (plus an i3 2120 and 8GB RAM) and it is running beautifully; feels like a brand new PC. Got it primarily because I wanted to power up for video editing and also because the onboard graphics of the previous G620 CPU couldn't even handle Portal 2.
This card is currently driving a dual screen set up (1 x DVI, 1 x VGA) of 1680 x 1050 and 1600 x 900 at 60Hz and the HDMI port is still available. Took a couple of minutes to mount it into the PCIe x16 slot of the P8H61-M LE/USB3 motherboard; no additional power lead required. Running silently (bliss) at 62C and doesn't appear to have increased my overall system temperature. Rebooted after the install and no problems installing the drivers.
System felt like it had a new lease of life even before I installed the new i3 processor. At sub £22 it's an insanely cost effective upgrade if you're moving from simple onboard graphics, and you get HDMI connectivity to boot. Even though it's just DDR3, having 1GB of it at this price is just icing on the cake. Love it.
