EVGA 512-P3-1301-KR GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 32-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: ORDERED SEVERAL OF THESE FOR VIDEO SWITCHERS THAT ARE TEMPERAMENTAL AND WILL ONLY WORK WITH THESE OLDER STYLE CARDS.
THE CARDS THAT THESE REPLACED HAD FANS THAT FROZE UP AND POPPED THE CAPS.
THESE CARDS RUN FAIRLY COOL, AND THE CASE FAN DRAWS ENOUGH AIR IN THE SIDE VENT TO KEEP THEM COOL FOREVER.

Cons: DON'T BUY TO RUN FPS GAMES. THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS FOR.

Pros: All it needed to do was work in my dads daily use PC. on an ocasional friday night he will play a game of Team Fortress 2, and since his monitor is his 46'' tv he plays it at 1080p at low to mid settings with no problems. after some light overclocking we saw 3 to 4 FPS increases in that game, and the card still stayed cooler then 70c (which for a passive cooler, is amazing)

Cons: Driver installation went alittle wierd... the disc ended up beign corrupted in some way that it would let me install every feature but the ones i needed (lol, the video drivers). but anyone with a basic understanding of computers knows how to search for drivers on the internet, so its not a big problem.

Pros: Excellent card for the Value, I run 2 monitors and games like Half-life2 and Starcraft2 flawlessly. For the $ you cannot beat the value. Extremely quiet because their is no fan! Just a fatty heat-sink. I have replaced all my graphics cards on my various computers with fan-free heat-sink cards because when the fans go out, you guessed it, the cards burn up. So great value and it is working well for over a year now.

Cons: When you run the duel monitor set-up one of the monitors uses the non-digital CRT mode, but no biggie I just view games on the digital monitor and web on the other.

Other Thoughts: Great value has outlasted more expensive cards with fans that I bought in the past...

Pros: It's based on the PCI-e 2.0 spec, so it works with my Abit IP35-E (PCI-e 1.0)! Previously I had purchased a Radeon 5450 (PCI-e 2.1), but it was incompatible with 2 older motherboards with PCI-e 1.0. Turns out that some PCI 2.1 and 3.0 cards won't work in certain PCI-e 1.0 or 1.1 motherboards.

Cons: Performance isn't as good as the Radeon 5450 according to benchmarking / reviews, but at least it works in my old system!

Pros: Can the VGA port and the DVI port be used at the same time on two different monitors?

Cons: none

Pros: cheap

Cons: I almost buy this card, but after read carefully:
Low Profile Bracket Included: NO

I want purchase for small factor pC, the card is low profile and not including the Bracket!!!
The bracket alone cost around $6 more and may not fit.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

The card you purchased is low profile ready, meaning it does require a separate bracket if you wish to use it in a smaller case. We do have 2 different brackets that will fit your card. The first is a single slot DVI+HDMI bracket (http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=M020-00-000134&family=Accessories%20-%20Hardware&sw=4) The second is a dual slot DVI+HDMI+VGA bracket (http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=M020-00-000142&family=Accessories%20-%20Hardware&sw=4). Both are guaranteed to fit.

Low profile bracket: NO
Why they make low profile card but not included no profile bracket. The bracket alone cost $6 more, and may not fit this card.

Pros: quiet, video quality looks good even when i connect my computer to my hdtv. I got it for $15 back in June, Brought it mainly for its hdmi output to my tv. It's doing very good for its price.

Cons: none

Pros: Cheap and had a $15 rebate on it when I bought. Rebate came through with no hassles. I bought this for replacing a dying video card on my uncle's pc and it works great for his usage which is mainly photos, videos, flash videos (Hulu, CBS etc) and office. Runs win7 with aero fine. Can't ask for more at this price. He doesn't really play games so not sure how well it does but for a non-gaming mainstream usage this is great.

Cons: None

Pros: A great buy for only $30. I bought this card to replace an MSI brand that windows XP had a lot of trouble recognizing- my pc eventually had trouble booting because of it. However, XP had no trouble finding and installing this one right away and I have not had any trouble since. Graphics are great for the price, especially if you just want to surf the net.

Cons: Probably not what you're looking for if you're a hardcore gamer.
