3.0 out of 5 stars No HDCP!, May 29, 2007

H. Paul Moon (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR e-GeForce 8600 GT 256 MB PCI-Express Graphics Card (Personal Computers)

I just called EVGA and was able to confirm that they've really hid the ball on this one -- it's NOT HDCP enabled (and there's no way to find it out from their Web site, manuals or spec sheets). What this means is that any protected content (e.g., Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, Vista HD video, etc.) will not play through this card and you'll get a blank screen. It basically moots one of the core functionalities of this chipset, that it offloads H.264 video processing from the CPU onto the video card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, March 2, 2008

Hunter Hadlock (Key West, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR e-GeForce 8600 GT 256 MB PCI-Express Graphics Card (Personal Computers)

This plays Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, portal etc at 45fps with all the settings turned up to high @ 1280x1024. Once you're in the game you can't really tell the difference between 30 and 120fps anyways so this is a great card. It plays Bioshock at 35fps @ 1024x768. I'm using a core 2 duo 2.2ghz with 2GB of ram, which is way more processor than I need for these games. If you don't need 1600x1200 @ 120fps this should be just fine for your needs. Also it supports directX 10, but if you're playing games you're probably not running Vista, which needs it to use DX10. But it's there if you need it 10 years down the road.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performance for the price, June 1, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR e-GeForce 8600 GT 256 MB PCI-Express Graphics Card (Personal Computers)

This little beast packs a punch. On my rig (3.0 Ghz AMD 64 X2 6000+, 3 GB of ram, Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) it works very well. Before, I was using integrated graphics and could not do anything related to video games. Now I can run most games on high settings and even new ones run well. Dragon Age Origins works very well on medium settings at full res for me 1440x900. The dual monitor feature is excellent too. Small quirp is that the card goes loud when on serious gaming sessions but that's to be expected.
