ECS NGT240-512QI-F GeForce GT 240 512MB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: For such a low-mid range price, you can handle every game up until Black Ops on it. I have nothing more to say than that, this card is a beast for the price, and GDDR5, even at 128 bit has proven awesome.

Cons: It doesn't do my laundry

Pros: Nice card for casual gaming. Low power requirement means it will work for most entry level systems or systems that use a ~300W psu etc. Got it to replace my ATI 4350 that came with the system and quite pleased with the improve in performance.

Cons: Cannot adjust the fan speed. I'm not sure if its just my card or most of them are like this, but once I start a game the fan revs up and the noise it makes is quite noticeable.

Pros: Quiet card for playing SCII. YES, I GOT MY REBATE WOO HOO!

Cons: Might be better stuff out there, but for me and Linux, it works great.

Other Thoughts: Did I mention I just got my rebate? Thanks ECS for living up to your word

Pros: Bought it for my roommate. Card works great and was a shell shocker. Newegg made the whole process easy.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Was to upgrade a basic Compaq desktop so had to upgrade power supply as well. Make sure you have the minimum requirements.

Pros: . cheap
. low power, no additional power connection needed
. quiet, low power card so the cooling is much easier and runs quieter

Cons: . Performance isn't as good as Gigabyte GT240 (also with 512MB GDDR5)
. the driver cd doesn't include 64 bit system, download it from their website (about 140MB). [could have easily fit on the CD]

Other Thoughts: Got it on Shell shocker deal so it wasn't too bad, I won't buy it for regular price.

Pros: Works great, using for mythtv in a system that didn't need a low-profile card.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: People keep complaining about a lack of spdif connector. This card doesn't need it, cause it has it's own built in sound card. Totally beats having to install a sound card into a computer just so you can get spdif output on it to feed into a video card.

Pros: This card is good card for the price (I got mine in a trade).

* Low power draw
* Based new 40nm fab
* Runs cool for the most part
* Does not need an AUX power supply
* Does great for when I need a test card in a system

Cons: * 9800GT is more powerful
* Most ATI cards in the range (around 100 USD) eats this thing alive

Other Thoughts: For what it is, this card is great! I have it run at stock clocks doing physx in my Xfire 5770 machine (yes you can run nvidia and ati together in the same machine).

Pros: -excellent FPS on games like Dirt 2, Battle Field Bad Company at 1440 X 900 resolution at medium to high settings with AA enabled.
-Price is 65$ after rebate......now THAT is cheap for a low high end card
-At Idle the temperature is 29 degrees Celsius and reaches a maximum of about 60 degrees maximum at load
-sweet picture of a sexy girl on the card itself :D

Cons: -struggles a bit at higher settings, though it is still a beast.
-doesn't have support for SLI, which kinda sucks, but I knew this before purchasing
-the 3D glasses support thing is a gimmick

Other Thoughts: I wanted to purchase the ATI HD 4850 which is a bit more expensive than this card but has better performance but my order shipped by the time I tried to change my order. I am not extremely dissapointed since this card is decent itself. Anyone who isn't an avid gamer but still wants decent graphics should seriously check this card out, it is a beast for the price. Also the 3d glasses which you need to buy seperately cost $200 USD which SUCKS. Why would you spend $65 on a video card and then $200 for some accessory?

Pros: Power supply upgrade is not needed for average HP Pavillion. Install was seamless for Win7 64. HDMI sound works fine but I think SPDIF connection is lost? Don't use spdif so haven't really worried about it. It does the job without spending a fortune.

Cons: Microsoft Windows and nVidia drivers update crashed this graphics card and I am sure many others with a 3D add-on downloaded automatically. I never installed it and didn't want it. I lost a hard drive and swapped out this graphics card when nothing was wrong with the card. Finally after 30 hangs and a BSOD, I uninstalled the 3D add-on and everything returned to normal!

Other Thoughts: The card works fine but this hangup of the graphics card was not problem if I was there to shut down the system when it hung up, but once I was not there and in the morning my hard drive was dead. nvidia 3D drivers killed 350 gigs of data and cost me days of troubleshooting! Bad software hurts!!!

Pros: Without stepping into a different class of graphics cards and the significant difference in cost, this is one of the best cards under $100; and Newegg already has it on sale, cheaper than I got it for last week! It bumped my 64-bit Vista WEI to 5.8, it's quiet, and it's easy to OC.

Cons: It won't transform your gaming experience into something phenomenal. However, it will blow away most onboard GPUs or anything sold at WM/Target. Reason for only four eggs is below...

Other Thoughts: I didn't want to write this as a con, but I have to say that Newegg really let me down. Make sure that if you want the free game that comes with this, you have to check the combo box to the lower-left or you won't get it. After admitting my oversight, the Chat CSR pretty much said 'too bad' and "have an eggcellent day". Lame, Newegg... just lame...
