MSI N430GT-MD2GD3/OC GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: I had a old desktop that I wanted to upgrade and play older games i used to play on it and some of the new ones also, This card was perfect for that, Fan is quiet, The Price was right for replacing the factory card the machine came with. I didnt have high expectations and knew what I was buying it does exactly what i wanted to.

Cons: I cant think of any at the moment but if I do I will update this post.

Other Thoughts: Newegg always has treated me great, They have great cheap prices for quality products, Great service, Fast shipping, Great customer care is what I have always got from newegg, Thank You Very Much.

Pros: Great color saturation. Serious Clarity Run's cool.Makes watching Video like watching TV. smooth and clean. WOW on ultra still 20 or more FPS.

Cons: Included Disc didn't work. Needed to download drivers from Nvidia.
Fan runs constantly wide open. if fan sound doesn't bother you then it isn't an issue.( I just turn up my music fan gives me my excuse)
only con I can think of that's serious is UPS sucks. Box came to me smashed. but then that's not Neweggs fault there every bit as Professional as UPS isn't. not saying anyone doesn't already know.Newegg Rocks! there the best of the best and I'm loyal to the end. Just wish UPS gave a darn.

Other Thoughts: Love the card. I have a Dell Inspiron 560 so im not going to pay a lot on a card. this was as much as I was going to pay. and it was worth it. Card has no problems at all except the fan runs all the time. Hope it doesn't wear out prematurely. Video is clear and crisp. WOW can be played on Ultra settings. but You might want to lower setting just a bit. if you have an Inspiron or smaller PC. My Windows Index went from a score of 3.5 to 5.9 just from this card being added.

Pros: None

Cons: Worked for 2 weeks then something shorted out. Unfortunately I sent this card along with a computer I built for a customer and so it died on them 2000 miles away. I had to next day air a replacement card (gigabyte) to them and describe how to install the new one. Yeah...Not happy

Pros: This card runs really cool, I'm talking 28c cool and I haven't seen it go over 45c under stress tests or gaming loads. Other than that its a decent card for watching high def but this is not made for gaming enthusiasts. I already knew that when I bought it. I like the older games anyway and it runs TF2 and HL2 mods very well. Just know what you're buying, just because it has 2gb DDR3 ram does not mean its gonna blow your socks off. But for $80 I'm watching ESPN3 on my 32" LCD while playing FM2 and typing a review and I'm happy with that!

Cons: 3Dmark06, 3Dmark11, PCmark7 do not recognize my card or support the drivers that I downloaded from nvidia.

Pros: i pluged up thi bad boy and jumped on WoW BOOM pretty HD picture running 50 FPS on Ultra nuff said

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: looks killa too

Pros: Not Bulky, perfect for a mid tower case with not much room to spare
the card performs spectacularly
the included afterburner software is GREAT easy overclocking and very very user friendly, with the ability to have multiple profiles

with a Phenom II 820 and this card i can run World of Warcraft seamlessly on ultra hitting 30FPS steady with out the card going over 50 degrees, and this is in a stock HP case that has not airflow what so ever

Cons: the Fan can not be adjusted, so it is always at 100%. so you have the constant Whirring, but it keeps cool under stress

Other Thoughts: Make sure to download the newest drivers , or be ready to have your graphics heavy programs cause the driver to fail.
you will have this issue especially if you run a 64bit OS
