A Fine Card So Far
- Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, and has a composite video out.
- Cons: Relatively low peformance (but that is to be expected).
GV-NX72G512E
- Pros: Fanless.
Great image quality.
Will work with older OSs.
Low power consumption.
Cheap.
- Cons: Driver issues with less common resolutions--Windows 7 64-bit are really bad in this regard.
TV output is composite.
Heatsink is not attached firmly.
Good airflow is a must.
- Other Thoughts: Needed to continue running Windows 2000 on my computer that my film scanners are hooked to. GeForce 7 series seem to be the most powerful cards that officially support W2K and also support DirectX 9.
Temperature can vary greatly according to the airflow. With my case open, GPU temperature was 55°C. - 57°C. With case closed, case fan on low, and left side vent partially blocked by external objects, GPU temperature went up to 65°C. to 67°C., at which point the nVidia temperature graph turns from green to yellow. Putting the case fan on medium and correcting obstructions took GPU temperature down to 45°C. to 47°C. That is 10-11°C. warmer than my CPU, but acceptable.
Different versions of nVidia's Windows 7 64-bit drivers give different reports about what resolutions my monitor can support. Unfortunately, none of them are correct, and none of the versions' "Custom Resolutions" tools work for me.
- Pros: Very good image. It came with tuning software that allows you to overclock easily. it actually has pretty good performance for the price.
- Cons: The GPU runs very hot with stock passive aluminum heatsink. under load 56-58c with no OC. I installed a copper fan heatsink and with minor mods to the hs, I got it to fit my mobo.
- Other Thoughts: The price is very cheap for the performance. if you don't mind adding and modding a fan cooler it is a keeper. If you use the stock heatsink i wouldn't expect it to last long at those temps, especially if you plan to use the included OC software.
