4.0 out of 5 stars eVGA e-GeForce 8400 GTS 512MB DDR2 PCI-Express Graphics Card, February 29, 2008

By	Keith Burns (CT, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is an excellent video card for the price. It is not the most advanced card for high-end gaming but it works great on Call to Duty 4. Windows Vista rates the card 3.5 on its performance scale.

4.0 out of 5 stars 22" widescreen displays perfectly w/ this card, November 3, 2008

By	Ashe350 - See all my reviews

Bought this to fix flickering and distortion on new 22" Soyo monitor. Previous video setup didn't offer native resolution setting of 1680x1050, 60hz. The 8400gs card does, and that made all the difference. Setup was smooth, documentation good. Only downside is some extra fan noise since card has its own fan. (Note--before installing, I used Windows Device Manager to disable my old CPU-integrated video adapter.)

The eVGA GeForce 8400 GS is a nice little card. I used it in a Linux system and had no problem with it. My experience with eVGA graphics cards has always been excellent - great performance, great price, great warranty. They're always the first ones I look to when getting a new card.
