I had a similar video card with the same Nvidia chipset from a different company and, as is the case with all video cards with fans in them, the fan started making noise. So I purchased this one and I'll use it until its fan goes out. At $50, you can afford to replace it every couple years.
Installing this one was a little tricky, however. I was trying to line it up with the PCIe slot and get it positioned with the back of my tower case but it wasn't going in. It turns out that the stupid bracket was bent, preventing the card from lining up. I used my pliers to bend the bracket back to straight and it slid right into place.
The driver was no problem at all. The card I replaced it was the same model Nvidia card and so no new driver was really required. I went out and downloaded the latest driver and it workd fine. I'm very satisfied.
Mind you, I'm not doing a first person shoot 'em up with this thing. I play a very calm city building game and this works great for that application. I play Forge Of Empires.
