Very nice card - glad I got it!

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2009

Verified Purchase

The GTS250 1GB card isn't the "latest and greatest" that Nvidia has on the market these days, but for the price, it was a great upgrade choice from my 512MB EVGA Nvidia 8600gts card. The card is very big and requires at LEAST a 450W power supply, so be aware that if you get this card, you may have to upgrade your PS as well. I went with a 550W power supply, and it is working well. You should also know that it is a double-wide card, so if you have other add-on cards in your PC, you may need to do some additional card moves to make this fit in your case.

As for the performance, honestly, I am very happy with the card. I do some gaming every now and then, and things like Left4Dead2, Modern Warfare 2, and recently even DragonAge:Origins run very well on my machine, thanks to this card. The processor is a AMD x2 5600+ with 3GB of Ram, and this card is a great addition to make these games run well on my machine. I have been able to max out the settings on L4D2 and MW2, and *almost* max out Dragonage:Origins. When I try to do highest settings in DA:O I get some choppy frame rates, but at "high" it runs just fine. I think that if I was to upgrade my CPU and Memory, this would fix those issues.

One other thing that I noticed about this card after first installing it was that it ran not hot, but very warm. This could have been due to the mid-sized case I have, but I also needed to add another fan to the case in order to draw more cool air through after installing this card. I think this is normal for any modern card these days though... more cooling is always better.

All in all, I think that this is a very good card, and I would recommend it to others looking for an easy way to achieve better graphics for not a lot of money.

Damaged on Arrival

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

Package arrived with all contents, though sadly missing any sort of user's manual. There was NO paperwork included that mentioned any sort of mail-in rebate. BUT! It does include two free bonus movie downloads from PNY.com and a free 3 month subscription to something.. I can't find out what it is though unless I do it. "Who can resist the call of the mystery box?"

Unfortunately, the card itself does not work. On the three computers that I tested it with, it will display a checkerboard pattern on the BIOS and freeze before it manages to begin booting the OS. The card arrived with NO anti-static bag, and was crammed into a box that is too small for it.

The GeForce GTS 250 is great, just stay away from PNY. They definitely cut corners.

It works!

I was looking for a 1MB NVidia card. Picked this particular one because of good reviews and price. Plugged it into my computer and it worked right out of the box. No twiddling or tweaking. All video I've looked at looks great. Am considering buying a second for use with a second monitor. I use the memory for video editing.

Best Bang For The Buck.

My previous cards were a GFC7600gt-256ddr3 and a GFC8500gt-512 ddr2.
This card is on another planet. In 3D2006 it triples my score over the 7600.
COD5 at full graphics at 1280x1024 gets 40-60 fps on a busy server. Using FRAPS I can create detailed videos at 30fps full screen. At 135 bux, you can't go wrong. Makes sure you have a good PSU with a pcie16 plug. (cpu is AMD6000+)
Test score 3D2006=10750.

Also: It's a fat card, make sure you have room. (phat too)
Also Again: My 8500 idled at 47c, my 7600 at 43c. The 250, at 27% fan speed idles at 35c (room temps at22c, 72f)

Warning

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

Video card works as expected, The card had damaged in the corner of the support bracket I fixed it with pliers, also it came late in the mail. this is a lot of cons about the "seller". The seller posted this card with all the adapters. No required parts were included to use the card. I had to buy the adapters myself and it cost me another $10.00. I contacted the seller, and I never got a reply. I give the seller 1 * star. This felt like a bought from a con artist. Sellers like this give Amazon, a bad rating. I have this seller under a red flag: DO NOT BUY FROM.

Mr. Digital

nVidia does it again!

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2010

Verified Purchase

I bought this video card for a gaming computer that I was building. Along with the specs in my computer, this card was the icing on the cake! My games (such as Crysis, Bioshock, Portal (Steam), etc) run very smoothly. Even on max graphic settings, the games run with amazing detail without and glitches!

I've always been with nVidia, and by the looks of it, I will continue to be with nVidia for a while.

I recommend this product to anyone!

Great video card!

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2010

Verified Purchase

Perhaps not the latest nor greatest (nor nearly as expensive), but it performs very well on games like Battlefield 2142, F.E.A.R. 2, Far Cry 2 and others. It's easy to install, with no extreme drain on your computer's power supply.
I am very satisfied with it! When I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7, the drivers for the video card were already in Windows 7.

The video card and especially Amazon.com are both Highly recommended!
