Pros: Decent framerate for most of todays graphical pushing games.
Great price
has the 3 basic outputs in it (vga, dvi and hdmi)
decent temperatures
not too loud

Cons: Drivers tend to crash anywhere from once a week to twice in the same day
Not extremely future proof

Other Thoughts: I would reccomend this to anyone just wanting to update their old dinosaur or who is building a budget/low profile pc.

Other Thoughts: Failed after a few weeks. Had to rma and msi was very hard to get on the phone. Also they gave me a used card as a replacement. Wont buy a msi again

Pros: I've purchased 3 of these and I have no qualms with this product.
For the price this is the best card you can get!

-Great for Home theater or gaming

-Plays any game you want at 1920x1080 (might have to lower the settings to medium on some newer games, however)
-Doesn't consume tons of power
-Very dependable
As I've stated I've purchased three of these things and all are chugging along very nicely. Still playing newest games without a problem (Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Deus Ex human Revolution, etc.)

-Very cool card, I've never seen the temps on this card get above 45' C

-Great for decoding H.264.
Handles 1080p video and BLuray like a champ, no jitters while panning, perfect picture quality.

-Great for dual-monitor builds
I've actually got one of these in my HTPC/ LAN PC and have it outputting to my TV and monitor at 1080p simultaneously.

-Very quiet

Cons: No cons really, but if you don't keep the little fans clean and free of dust they can start making a little bit of noise.

Other Thoughts: I will probably end up buying more of these before I'm done

Pros: I bought this card, under my other account. I upgraded to a quad core cpu and 8gb of ram, so the 8400gs went too. For $80 with shipping, I got this. My last GOOD card, a GTS 250, this, not soo bad. NOT a GTS model by any means, but it runs good. Arma 2, NFS series, TDU, CRYSIS 1 and 2 on HIGH settings with 40 fps average... WEI score, 6.7. Best, BEST nvidia card under a $100 bucks. OVERCLOCKS like a BOSS! My highest temp seen under load, 56c. Good card... NOW, GTX series is next.

Cons: No fan control thru MSI afterburner. DDR3 memory, so not SUPER fast timings. NO FAN CONTROL! lol.

Other Thoughts: Built with;
AMD Athlon 2 X4 645
8GB DDR3
500GB HD
400W PSU
MSI GT440
Windows 7 Ultimate

Pros: this card far out performs its price tag,if your building a new game rig,its a good budget card

Cons: no sli :(

Other Thoughts: no sli :( over clockable :) runs stone giant benchmark nice at moderate/normal settings +

Pros: It is quiet, amazing graphics upgraded from a 8400 gs, the difference is game play is like night and day. It can play swtor on high, minecraft on ultra. This card is well worth the $75 if you are making a very low budget build or just looking for a lower priced upgrade this card is it.

Cons: None at all.

Pros: Cheap if your looking to improve your video card without updating your whole case.
Worked as expected.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Not a very strong card obviously but it is pretty good for its price.

Pros: oh my goodness absolutley the best card there is for the socket...+ pricing.....able to take a dinasour computer and make it run amazing...playing mkv high def videos...auto cad...3d features.....cool textures...playing bioshock,mw3,dead island..ext...smooth!!!!!!!

Best card for price ever...will buy again if needed..for an older build....to make playable again....

MSI Keep it up!!!

Cons: i dont have another pci slot to run two......otherwise i would!!!

Pros: Has 3d capabilities for Photoshop, does fine with taxing programs such as Sketch up Pro 8, Good rendering speeds, no lag

Cons: None

Pros: I bought this card after reading the one review about playing SC2 well. And for the small size.

- Works well with Afterburner
- Brought SC2 from low settings up to high @ 40-50 FPS
- Small card
- Stays pretty cool

Cons: This is not a con but..
I had to trim the fan shroud 1/2 inch because it was to long to fit next to my CPU cooling duct.

Other Thoughts: Great value for a lower end card.
