This is a great card for the budget, I bought this card personally to play World of Warcraft. Upgrading from a Geforce 4 440MX, this is a major boost for me. I put World of Warcraft on MAX on EVERYTHING possible and still it does not give me any problems. The only problem i see is that the framerates of the game doesnt seem to change much when you go from teh lowest posible settings to the highest, weird.

This card is great for $130. It plays valve games at high settings with reasonable fps. The only problem is that it will not get a good score on 3dmark06. Overall it is worth everypeny

I upgraded from a GeForce Ti4200 for Oblivion. VtM: Bloodlines ran choppy on the Ti card, but blazes on highest settings with this card. Oblivion runs at medium settings with few glitches with the newest drivers(84.xx). The first card I got was bad, showing screenwide glitches when faced with invisible creatures and finally brokedown completely. The return went without a hitch and the new card operates flawlessly. I am running a Sempron 2600+ and 1 GB 2700 DDR RAM for a consistent 333 MHZ FSB throughout system. I can run Oblivion with no stutter on low settings and few stutters on medium settings. This is a great video card for getting into medium level graphics and blazing the older games like VtM: Bloodlines. This is the first video card I've owned that allowed me to run any game with Anti-Aliasing without stutters. This GT outperforms other cards at this level as the Ti series did. Invest in lower level GTs over nextgen GS cards.

I bought this card three days ago to replace a old fx 5200 ultra. I did not push the capabilities of this card yet but so far I am very happy with it for the buck I spent. It does not overheat so far and after a stressing test the GC was giving me an overall of 32 and above FPS at 1024*768 85Mhz BTW, I do not have noisy fan as some stated but in some cases I had a visual quick glitch here and there but not annoying and should solved when I do a yearly fresh reinstall.
