ASUS ENGT430/DI/1GD3/MG(LP) GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: Customizable bracket, removable VGA (didn't need it, PC has built-in VGA), very quiet, it's friggin' NVIDIA!

Cons: None so far...

Other Thoughts: So I just got this in and finally put it in my PC. The set up went smooth as can be, removed the VGA (blue connector) because I didn't need it, slapped on the HDMI/DVI bracket face, slipped this puppy in and booted up. Everything went up fine! Used the CD to install the stuff, downloaded drivers from NVIDIA website, and about to see what this bad boy can do.

I will update again as I play games and let you guys know!

Pros: none,
barely better than the integrated video from the mobo.

Cons: very noisy for an HtPc.
i bought it for a new Ht Pc,and believe me you will hear it,even 10 ft from the setup,there goes your audiophile setup

Other Thoughts: Don't cut and send the bar code for any rebate before you are sure you are satisfied ,
I bought mine as advertised on new egg with a 20 $ rebate,
no rebate,no help from newegg. ca, either.
This is this the last time i'm dealing with newegg.ca and Asus.Ever

Pros: After using the card for only a few hours, I had to write a review. So far I'm extremely pleased, going from a terrible chipset to this card is just amazing. My power supply is also horrible (250W), so my options were limited as far as I could tell, and this card packs a pretty big punch. On the games I've tested it on, I've been able to play with maximum settings at 1900x1020 resolution and maintain 40-60 FPS and play very comfortably. I'm now also able to play a lot of games my PC couldn't even touch before. Some reviews I saw on here mentioned driver issues, or the card getting hot, but so far under some major benchmark tests the card hasn't gotten hot enough that I couldn't stand touching it.

Cons: As far as driver issues go, I had to actually use another PC to load the disc that was included, since it didn't want to work on this PC for some reason, though every other disc did. A quick transfer with a USB stick quickly solved that problem. So if you expect this may happen to you, it's definitely worth buying a cheap 2GB USB stick. The computer which detected the disc has Windows 7, while this system is running on Windows Vista. Everything seemed to be in working order, otherwise.

Other Thoughts: Being as lazy as I am, I'm debating about whether the $10 rebate is worth the effort, but I'll likely get around to it sometime. If only it were easier to send rebates in (I don't have my printer setup or anything..).

Pros: Cool,fast,quiet etc.

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: Best graphic card for the price!!!
This thing is AMAZING!!!
not even meant for gaming really but i can play alan wake at settings maxed with 48 fps

Pros: It's an Asus, it just works. Added it to a Dell Optiplex 755 Core2 Quad running Ubunbtu. Works perfect for my application (everything but gaming.) Price is fantastic (with rebate when I bought it) for a very capable card for people that are not complete video/gaming enthusiasts.

Cons: the heat-sink is A WEE BIT taller than the standard slot, it fit fine but if you have tight quarters you may want to consider this. No problems here but a couple more millimeters and there would be.

Pros: Works well for running vista and a few games

Cons: wasn't cheaper and waiting for my rebate

Other Thoughts: Needed something to replace my old 8400GS that died on me. I have only a 300 Watt PSU and needed a low power graphics card. This one seams to do the job.

Pros: Great entry card with HDMI and does well with video which is the reason I bought it.

Cons: I've owned this card since Nov. 2011 and the card comes with Asus Smart Doctor allowing overclocking which I did occasionally.

Apparently this card cannot take overclocking well considering now the fan on it is making a weird sound as though 1)The overclocking caused the fan to spin so fast it caused fan bearing damage 2)The fan is so cheap it's on it's last leg.

I've owned cards cheaper and for years than this and they never had issues with the fan whining.

Other Thoughts: I'm very disappointed this being a new card and the fact I moved it to a new Gigabyte board and all is quiet except for the #$@# fan. I cleaned it not helping a bit. I may try taking the fan off and replacing it with another fan on another old card IF it will fit, if not RMA it.

ASUS get your act together, not only did you lose me as a loyal fan motherboard owner to Gigabyte now you can't even make a decent card.

Pros: Runs very quiet. Looks and feels good quality. Its not a top end card like my old 6800 was,... in its glory day, but it does everything I want it to do right now. Installation was the easiest yet. Window rating jumped to 6.7 for both graphics and areo.

-Core i3, 8gb ripsaw ram, 600W Corsair

Cons: No computer tower badge! That's it.

Other Thoughts: Great buy in my opinion. $35 after special rebate.

Pros: -good build quality
-runs cool
-runs quiet (great for HTPC)
-very low power consumption-even at load
-worked immediately in Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.x, 10.x, 11.x

Cons: When inserted into some smaller boards/machines, thick heatsink may block PCI slot beside it.

Other Thoughts: Just wish I would have known that it was too thick to take up just one slot in my Shuttle SP35P2 Pro. The thick heatsink effectively blocks the next PCI slot. You may want to think about this before you put this in a small form factor or HTPC.

Pros: HDMI
Easy to install
Does what I expected a ~$50 GPU to do.

Cons: I've had to tinker with a lot of settings between my monitor and this card to get everything right. My monitor looks great hooked up to other GPUs.

Not necessarily a bad thing, though it is a bit of a hassle to mess around with all the settings since the "auto" definitely didn't get it right.

Other Thoughts: Great card if you are looking for something cheap.
