 Great card for the price

| | See all Sidask8r's reviews (7)

What can i say, hmm.
Installed the card with no troubles after an overdue upgrade from a GeForce Mx 440. I built the system it is currently sitting in to be a very quite machine, and this card really helps only having the good-sized heat sink sitting ontop it. This card can handle games such as CS:S and BF2, however they will become very CPU intensive and you won't be able to have anything like AA or AF without sacrificing alot of FPS. For the money, the card is amazing and if your on a very tight budget this IS the card for you however if you want to play all the latest titles you'll surly need something with a bit more beef.

 Great beginner card

For price to power ratio this is as good as it gets, I got this card to play games such as Battlefield 2 and halo (at full resolution) and it really did wonders.
However i later found that you cant really teach an old dog new tricks, my PC is plain outdated and a lack of RAM meant i didnt get the full potential of this card.
If you have a newer PC and are a keen gamer i wud reccommend inversting in a better card with big titles such as Unreal tournament 3 needing a lot more clought. If you however just want to squeeze a year or 2 more out of your PC, this is what you!
hope this was helpful-ish!
