exo 6/17/2013 12:02:30 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Great video card for a below average gamer Pros: Great card for a person just starting to get into gaming Cons: Obviously cannot run games like Battlefield or GTA Other Thoughts: Had this thing for a year and only with minimal problems Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 3/11/2013 3:55:28 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Loose heatsink Pros: Works okay. No fan noise. Cons: The heatsink is attached to the video card in such a way that plugging the card into a PCIe slot (or pulling it out) causes the heatsink to move a little. It doesn't move enough to damage the board in any way but it does break the seal between the thermal compound and the graphics chip die. I haven't experienced any adverse affects but breaking this seal introduces the possibility of dust between the heatsink and die as well as reduce the heatsink's thermal dissipation capabilities.

gamermaster 2/12/2013 8:29:25 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5 Pros: helps a single core run less hot by taking away the onboard grapics it runs smooth helps gameplay Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 2/6/2013 5:14:05 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5	Rating: 5/5 Pros: runs smooth easy install runs in low end dell insporon 530s with ease Cons: none so far Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
RedlinePC 1/19/2013 12:16:40 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Exactly what I expected from ASUS Pros: The card performs well and tolerates PCI-E overclocking well. If you're looking for a low cost card to free up RAM with decent performance, look no further. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Chris S 1/4/2013 9:43:14 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 3/5Meh Pros: Trusted brand, 64-bit, HDCP. Good enough to get out of a shared memory situation. Cons: Should be about $25 including shipping. This does little to add performance to your system unless you are on a shared memory configuration. Other Thoughts: This board is nothing to get excited over. It powers my 2 monitors fine and I trust the brand. I bought it open box at a discount and that is a fair price. The regular price is not (I'd spend $15 dollars more for a better chipset) Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Will 12/13/2012 6:10:00 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5GREAT!!! Pros: cost, visual, and most of all compatability Cons: none so far Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
DrDan 11/5/2012 1:46:20 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Excellent price to performance ratio Pros: Noiseless and capable, delivers surprising results for the price. Cons: Don't expect high end graphics performance. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 9/25/2012 9:21:54 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works Just Fine Pros: All games I've tryed up to Skyrim have worked well on medium graphic settings. My newer computer works just as well on all of these games and has a 300 dollar video card in it. If you looking for a good budget gaming computer I'd recommend this card. Cons: Someday I'll have to upgrade. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Mr Slinky 9/21/2012 12:30:30 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Whoa... Runs Hot Enough to BBQ Pros: Well the price was right and the graphics capabilities are... Well were... Very good. Cons: The heat-sink was poorly fit and possibly overall insufficient. Other Thoughts: I was rather pleased with the performance right up to the point I could smell it cooking. After pulling the card and inspecting it closely I could see the heat-sink may have not been in good contact... Then again it got hot enough to distort. Don't even think there was a case ventilation issue... there is enough air flow to blow dust out from behind my desk. Manufacturer Response: Dear Mr Slinky, I am sorry your 8400GS graphics card overheated. Please contact me if you have not yet tried to get your card fixed. You can reach me at cl-jeremy@asus.com (ref#1043-4713). Regards, Jeremy ASUS Customer Loyalty 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
