Amazing performance and price!, April 20, 2009
This review is from: PNY VCG96GSO7XPB Verto GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB Video Card (Personal Computers)
Ordered this card about a week ago and wow huge difference in all my games. Before I bought this card I could barely play crysis on low, and with my new power supply coupled with this card everything on HIGH smooth as silk unbelievable. If you're hesitant to buy this card because of the price don't its excellent!

Doesn't work with Photoshop CS4 Open GL (see edit), May 3, 2009
This review is from: PNY VCG96GSO7XPB Verto GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB Video Card (Personal Computers)
This is a gamer's card and I'm not a gamer. [...] Card is much longer - barely fit in my Antec P180 case - almost interfered with the bottom SATA connector on MB.. but got it in there. I run dual monitors... all set up went fine, colors good. But was disappointed when I opened Photoshop CS4 and under Preferences - Performance - the OpenGL was grayed out. The enhanced zoom and move enhancements were not available. They were on my 7300GT card. Not a big deal - but I spend a lot of time in Photoshop and the enhanced features were nice... when upgrading, you don't want to lose features. I may return because of this. PNY and Nvidia website was not helpful with this shortcoming of this card. I downloaded latest Nvidia driver - maybe this is a shortcoming of this driver? So far can't tell much difference in performance in watching videos, or in graphic programs (Photoshop, Illustrator). For gamers, you may see good improvements, for graphic designers... the 7300GT seems just as good.
EDIT: I downgraded driver and now works with OpenGL acceleration in Photoshop. Current driver has a glitch which should be fixed in next driver update. I will keep this card. I would add a star to rating but system won't let me.(see comments)

PNY VCG96GSO7XPB Verto GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB Video Card, June 4, 2009
This review is from: PNY VCG96GSO7XPB Verto GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB Video Card (Personal Computers)
This particular PNY model card had a $40 rebate. After rebate, this is a fantastic deal. This is a good card for mid range computers, very quiet, runs cool, good driver support from nvidia. Good for video editing, watching video, etc. As always, carefully compare product specs to see if a particular model meets your needs. This card will play games, but is will not run high resolution well, or fast action games well, it is not that level of card.
