5.0 out of 5 stars Good card for the price. April 23, 2011
By Kuehnau
Let's face it, if you are looking at this video card, if you are reading this review, then you know something about computers. Chances are you already know this isn't a high end gaming video card, but for the cost and features of the card, it's a decent purchase. Will you be able to run Crisis; No. But I have been running The Sims 3, World of Warcraft, Doom 4, Fallout 3 and more just fine.

Nice card. Noticeably improves video performance and the price is right. Pros: HDMI, DMI and VGA ports, great phone tech support (24x7 free!). Cons: no documentation in the box and no dedicated audio out at all (not even an analog audio out). Not much product-specific info on the website.

I wanted to use this card for video only, and continue using my existing audio setup. But when I installed this the sound on my HP a1640n stopped working. I tried every fix I could think of -- re-installing drivers, disabling them, etc. I thought the geForce card' software had overwritten or corrupted my motherboard's audio drivers. After reading many online posts I decided I had to re-install windows and start all over. I spent a weekend backing up files and re-installing. It still didn't work. Eventually I went back to the EVGA site and found a tech support number (blame myself for not doing this *much* earlier).

EVGA has 24/7 free tech support! After registering the card on the website (required) my call was answered immediately at 10 pm on Sunday night by a knowledgeable person who wasn't just reading a script. (I think I talked to Doug? Best tech support call I've had in years). Problem solved in about 90 seconds (I had to re-boot, go into the BIOS, and set the on-board audio to "on" (options are off, auto and on).

Had I found the tech support number earlier I would have saved myself a lot of grief.

Bottom line, if you aren't reasonably comfortable mucking around with PC/Windows settings and/or prepared to take a risk, don't try to upgrade a PC with on-board graphics and audio (most mainline consumer PCs fall into this category). If you are reasonably comfortable, go for it -- but call the company's tech support line if you have any problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Upgrade March 19, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase
This card i bought to upgrade my hp from the integrated geforce 6150se. When i got it and installed it i did notice a change in gaming it got better then before and its a very good product for people on a budget or people who want a starter upgrade. I can watch hd videos and ncaa games on line with no lag or jumping its a great thing. If you have a budget or want to start with a card this would be your starter card.

Update 3/1/12: I sold this card and upgraded to the GTX 550ti but this card was amazing when I had it. It upgraded my HP PC from not being able to play Portal 2 to actually be able to play it finally!. ***VERY IMPORTANT: For people who own or have bought this card, be sure to update the card with the latest drivers as this will take many problems away that you are experiencing.*** Product rating still: A

Not bad if you aren't doing much in the way of gaming or something, if so look for a faster card. But this one does the job depending on your needs.
