I bought this to fill in for another video graphic card while it was being RMA'ed by PNY. It drives a 2560x1600 & a 1440x900 LCD display. It does that adequately, especially for the price, BUT it will produce garbage when rebooted. If you shut off the computer completely, let is sit for a minute, it will boot normally. I'll probably RMA it too when the regular cards get back from PNY

My advice regarding the product is to avoid it. I have never before written a product review but I am so disappointed with this product that I feel I have to speak up. I've reinstalled the drivers countless times and still have problems. I've returned it to the manufacturer and still have problems. It may seem to work fine and provide clear display images and a short time later I get color distortions and image aberrations.

I'm not even a gamer. I just edit photos and video and wanted to boost my rendering times and image quality. I'm going to end up chucking it because I don't feel it's fair to sell it as a working used graphics card.

Sure, they offer a 3-year warranty but they're documentation requirements are such that you probably will have difficulty taking advantage of the warranty. (I found the return and replacement procedures to be a real hassle.) Personally, after this experience, I will not be purchasing any nVidia or PNY products of any kind. They have lost me as a customer for life.

I bought this card to play Splinter Cell Conviction, Need for Speed Undercover and other games, but it does not work properly, the screen goes black minutes after starting the game.
I have Windows 7 (32 bit), Pentium Core 2 Duo, 2.66GHz, RAM 4 GB, and inter motherboard.
Was waste money.

Running NFS CARBON With all options on the card does not lag.
I use it mainly on CSS and it performs very well.
Strongly recommended. I wish it had passive cooling.

Cons: It does not have S video port out. Although it has the hole on the bracket. I guess that justifies the price somewhat.

If you don't need screaming speed, this is the card for you. Quiet, great video images, stable, NVIDIA quality. What more could you ask for about $40?

I've gotten two of these from Amazon now and neither one had the TV out. There was just a silver sticker where the port should have been. I've notified PNY of this defect, but have heard absolutely nothing from them. Poor.
