Good Card

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price............for what it is, it worked for my application. I put together a budget system aimed at running MS FS2004 (Flight Simulator).....yes it's been around five years since its release, but we can finally afford parts to run it without spending $3k+. This card ran it well.
Cons: None

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price.
Cons: Installed under Vista 64. When Vista download drivers and I restart, PC result in a black screen after the windows loading screen.

My motherboard is ASUS a2m-vm hdmi. I have PCIEx selected on BIOS.

I did a clean install using a Windows Vista 64 Ultimate OEM with no luck. The same problem. I can boot to Safe Mode but only with Vista Standard VGA driver.

Monitor works just fine.

If you use Vista 64, forget about this card!!!
Other Thoughts: Old ASUS fan, but now I may scrap all ASUS hardware for ever!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Simple install, plays all the HD content I can throw at it. (1080i through component, on HD-TV, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray).

As always NVidiea set up a piece of cake.

It starts at boot at 800x600 so if your display can't handle that you will see nothing.
Cons: None
