SPARKLE GeForce 9400 GT SFPX94GT1024U2 Video Card

Comment:
This is the best video card for your money. Simple to install, with no hassle software installation. Now my graphics are unbelievable! And the best part is there is no fan on the video card to add noise to my system!

Works well, easy install. Ad indicates S video out but picture doesn't show it. I didn't need it. I would buy this brand again.

Comment:
Good for the price. Description says there is an s video output and the picture even shows the s video cable but there is no s video output on the card. I would not have purchased it if I had known that. But other than that it works well with XP

Comment:
Can't understand the negative comments. 9500gt is a great card. My games are screaming fast now, even with the settings on high. Windows 7 does give it a low score for desktop performance, but I don't see any issues. Windows flies, games fly, and the lack of a fan makes for a quiet card. Good value, too.

Comment:
would not recommend this card for Win7 very poor windows performance rating!

Comment:
video card is cheap and performs like it should (although I never understood why theres an Svideo cable inside the box) but thats not a big issue, anyways, videocard is more stable than my previous video card and since it has no fan, i no longer get annoyed with any rattling or nothing like that.

Comment:
I thought the video card was DOA when i first got it, I called for tech support, and I actually needed to change some Motherboard BIOS setting before installing the video card. once i I got the settings down, Video card work perfect on my computer. looks beautiful.

Advertised as S-Video, even comes with an s-video cable, but no connector is installed on the card... other than that, it works great, windows and linux (using envyng)

Comment:
Two months after install, it died. Everybody says I have a great PSU, but the card, like the review title, only is good if it works. This retailer does what they can, woe to you if you need it warrantied. Good freakin luck!!

Comment:
I never had problem with my computer before I install this video card. Even I updated the driver, when the pc works a little bit more (like scan for virus or converting video) windows reboot the computer. Something might be unstable with this video card.

Installed a month ago. no issues with install on XP. Running Farcry 1 and 2, Unreal, video poker, Delta force, Call of duty 1-5... all at highest settings with no video issues. Heat has not been an issue either(no fan on card). hey, for 45 bucks it's been a great buy. i'm gonna buy a couple more for sure.

Bought this card about 6 mos ago to replace a 128M card in my wife's computer. Tremendous increase in performance. This card rocks! One thing that would make it better IMO would be an on-board fan, but I haven't had any cooling issues to date.

This little gem is a great value, low cost, easy install, nice performance. Quick deleivery, no real cons, large heatsink handles the card well.

Got this card to replace onboard video. Installed easily and increased windows vista perfomance drastically from the get go. Handles playing World of Warcraft hours on end with exceptional frame rates even at the highest settings.

Comment:
I added this card to a machine that I recently built. I'm running Linux Ubuntu and it works great.

Comment:
Bought this card for WAY under the price of other 1GB cards and haven't had a problem with it yet. Had it installed and running perfectly within 10 mins of receiving.

Easy to install.. GREAT picture quality..

Have had no issues with any applications or games.

For light-duty work and occasional gaming, it's just fine.It's probably the most powerful, up-to-date fanless card at this point. Fanless is probably the most important feature for me - no point in having moving fans collecting dust in a server. So for a headless, light-duty server, it's perfectly adequate. I do some light gaming over VNC from the server, and it works perfectly.Linux support is great, at least in Ubuntu. A huge series of resolutions, readings of GPU frequency and a thermal monitor.It also supports CUDA.It isn't a powerful gaming card, but if you want to go fanless, it'll serve you well.

I have had no problems with this card since I bought it in July. I'm running Vista 64 Ultimate, 4 gigs 800 mhz ram, 2.6 ghz cpu and the card is great! Good frame rates all around with no complaints.

Comment:
Works fine on my system no install problems using mostly for photo editing and the extra memory seems to speed things up a bit.

I bought a cheap Dell desktop that had Intel graphics. I saw the PCI Express and thought upgrade! This is a nice quiet (no fan) card. Its no big gaming card but I suppose you could run some games OK. I tried running a real intensive game Crysis and even at low resolution 800 x 600 it was pretty low frame rates. But I did not expect much more then a little better at video and that's what I got.

Bought this back in June as part of a bundle deal. Card is small and was easy to install. Unable to locate any Win 7 or Ubuntu drivers or utilities. Was uncertain about the lack of a cooling fan but figured it would be okay. Performance is very mediocre get 60 fps at 1920x1080 running WoW. 12 fps Lord of the Rings Online with everything maxed. Average performance for a budget card. Now the disappointing fact is that I am experiencing tiling and artifact issues during the first 90 days of use. That's using the computer maybe for 4 hours at a time, 10 hours a week with only half that time under load. So a ding on the quality. If you want more bang for the buck I'd probably recommend spending the extra $50-$100 and get a medium-high range card. If you only plan to do word processing and web browsing than this card is fine.

I've used it to run Oblivion4 and BurnOut Paradise on full settings and it runs without lag. I've thrown everything i have at it and it just loads fast. It gets quite hot and it may require a larger case fan (but thats, its a much more powerful graphics card than any onboard graphics cards). It also has HDMI so it can be a great media PC card too.

No install problems. No setup problems. Works great. Best picture I've seen in some time. Would like to plug in the big screen tv but haven't yet.
