5 out of 5 stars Pleased   July 25, 2008
This card is great product and at a good price ,thinking of buying another for the SLI experience


4 out of 5 stars Outstanding   July 19, 2008
Got the card. Inserted into my Compaq Presario 2008 model. Vista recognized it automatically. Did not use windows setup. Downloaded drivers from nVidea & installed. Been kicking butt ever since. No problems what so ever with Compaq system. Works well with Xonar Dx sound card on intel boards. You may want to invest in a 400+ power supply box as these devices generate heat and demand more power to run.

I bougth this video card for my PC to improve my graphics, but this is really more than I expected. It runs games like NFSU2, AOEIII, and other very fast. It has improved my system performance a lot. I'm really pleased with this video card, and the price is very good. I recomend it to anyone who wants to have a good video card for low price. Surely you won't be disappointed.

I have had this graphics card for a week now and it is working beautifuly. I used to play World of Warcraft, and it ran fine with my old graphics card that came with my computer, i hardly ever lagged. Recently i bought Age of Conan, when i first played i lagged tremendously. I had about 1-2 fps, so it wasnt even worth playing. With this card, i do not lag at all, my normal fps is between 26-30, so i am extremely happy with this card, it has worked wonders. The price is also great because the recomended card for AoC was $40 more D=.


5 out of 5 stars Great Upgrade For Older Rigs   June 20, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I just got this last night and it made a huge difference in my gaming and video editing. I was using a 256mb ATI X700 Pro which in its day (2004-5) was a decent card. But eventually games started to get more advanced and I figured I would upgrade but I didn't want to spend over 100 bucks because I am just a casual gamer. So I bought the GeForce 8500GT and it rocks, my desktop looks so much better, colors are more vivid, the games I do play now can be played at MAX or medium settings, with the X700 most of my newer games was at the low end range. Installation was easy, I took my old card out, put the new card in, turned it on, loaded drivers, rebooted, presto, instant graphical betterment! I recommend this card to any casual gamer or to someone with an older system from 3 or more years ago. Its a solid card and the price is perfect for casual gamers like me.
