for the price i paid, i didnt expect it to perform this good.

Comment:
any visual multimedia looks beautiful, my outdated video card looked kinda sloppy, but im glad i upgraded. and for a nice value :)

Comment:
i got tired of my powermac having only 64mb of ram, so i upgraded to this agp because i didnt want to spend a lot. and it works so much better.

Comment:
if you're looking for a value agp card, this is one of the good ones. I have an 8x slot and i can play most of my older games, including counter strike. plays pretty smoothly, but can't expect it to perform like the big boy cards. still i recommend this if you want great value.

Comment:
Even though I was using this agp card on 4x setting, the fps in counter strike were at 100 in very small places but in wide open areas it severely dropped to 40. look for a different card if you want to play older video games

My daughter bought Sims 3 and had insufficient video in her Compaq Presario and I needed a quick, cheap fix. this is the one. Simple install, fully compatible, worked first time.

I bought this board to enable my wife and her cousin who has macular deterioration to work on a family history project using a Sony big screen TV as a second display. Worked great, right out of the box once I got the right adapters. It's fast, good colors and a very good value.

My old Dell Optiplex GX240 would not display the 1440x900 resolution of the LCD wide screen monitor I bought from this site. So I bought this AGP video card to replace my old card. Installation was fast and easy. Now I can view the LCD monitor with the proper aspect ratio. Just needed to select 1440x900 on the nVidia options. I'm satisfied.

Excellent Service, ordered over internet and received in two days. Excellent card in all aspects except: Hot key to switch from one source (monitor) to another (TV) does not work, which of course is a software glitch, and MAN O MAN does that gpu heatsink get HOT!!! (There is no cooling fan). Excellent 3D for price.

I have a Shuttle computer (small profile) the power supply is small, so I was concerned that I would have a problem with the dual controller. I ordered, it came quickly, I installed it and VOILA! I had two monitors up and running. I know how to get the screws out and the cover off, but then I am dangerous. Thanks for the promptness in delivery and the quality of the product!

I'm no computer nerd, but I can follow instructions. The hardest part of installing this card was to see if my 6yr old Intel D845GRG MB had the proper slot. Turns out it did, and was stupid easy - bolt it in, put it all back together, and turn it on. That easy. Now my new 22" wide screen is nice and crystal clear. Can it render 3D graphics in the hottest new games? Damn if I know, I just wanted a DVI port, and the product fulfills that requirement fantastically. I did expect to see at least some difference in system speed, since the MB isn't processing graphics anymore, but alas, none to be had.

Comment:
My old card wouldn't support the native resolution of my new 22 inch wide screen monitor. After I installed this card, it found the correct resolution and has been working great since. Good value, easy install.

Installed this card to speed up an older motherboard with on-board graphics for a casual PC user. Card installed easily and dramatically improved performance.

My requirements for a video card are not very demanding. I was more interested in finding one that was compatible with my mother board, and this one fit the bill. The price was also reasonable. I just plugged it in, loaded the driver, and it has been working like a charm since.

Asus motherboard, Intel Pentium 3 CPU,933 mega hertz, Windows Xp. Good card; Drivers available on Internet and installed second time. NVidia control panel big help. Better then the Ati Radeon 9800 Pro card it replaced. Cheap and good for an older computer. No video card can speed up a slow computer but the extra onboard card memory helps. Satsfied with card, ordering and shipping!

Got this card to replace my new PCI VGA card since my Dell PC will work only with AGP cards. The install worked without any issues. Card is working great..no problems so far.

Comment:
I had ordered another product from Dell. It took weeks to get here because they didn't tell me it had been back ordered, and it didn't work because they recommended the wrong card. This card was sent quickly, it was the right card, and best of all it is plug and play. No install disc needed. I am very happy shopping here for the last 3 years. I gave it all 4s because I'm not familiar with exactly what to expect, but this is a great product and actually better than expected since I did not have to uninstall the old card and reinstall this one.

Comment:
Really not much of an improvement from my old video card I bought in 2003. Glad I'm not out too much money. I guess it is true, you truly get what you pay for.

Comment:
My only problem with this card was that it has only DVI-I port and my monitor has what looks like an incompatible DVI-D port but I guess that's more LG's fault than nvidia's. It arrived quickly and was an effortlessly simple install. Just wish they could get shipping prices down.

This card was easiest video card I have ever installed. After uninstalling my old video card software, I rebooted, installed the Sparkle drivers, then rebooted again, first entering setup to change agp aperture size (256MB) & interface speed (4x). Windows loaded faster, and needed no adjustedments to the display properties. With 256MB DDR on the card, everything loads faster! I was glad to find out that it works with Windows 2000 . . . that wasn't mentioned on TigerDirect web page. Box says it works with Windows 2000, XP, & Vista. So far, it's been the best, most trouble-free video card I have ever installed!
