Amazing for HTPC
- Pros: Pegs out Vista Experience at 5.9!
Comes with every adapter you need. HDMI, S-Video, and Component adapters. Runs extremely quiet if in low power mode (only if you don't have a PSU capable of supplying full power; auto detected).
Card is approximately 9" long and is a true single slot. Won't interfere with neighboring slots. Needs good case ventilation not necessarily air flow.
Runs warm when playing movies not hot. I don't use it for gaming so can't say how hot it will run on full load with full supplied power.
Absolutely amazing for HTPC if you can fill the space and minimum power consumption requirements. 9" long x 300 stable/ 350w peak.
- Cons: Rumor is there will be even lower powered 9x cards (9600gt/9800gt) coming out soon called "Green Edition". Unfortunately I couldn't wait for them and had to build the HTPC now. My only con is it's not an even lower power consuming card... :\
- Other Thoughts: Believe it or not I have this installed in an HTPC Antec NSK1380 case. The case is only 11" long so it barely fits. The Antec comes with a proprietary 350w PSU and this card has not shut off my system once because of power consumption. First time I booted up nvidia driver displayed a message about running in low power mode because I didn't have the power adapter plugged in (molex). It then got dead silent and I thought it froze but that's just how quiet the low power mode is. Awesome feature! Will run in a low power consuming HTPC. I only had about 100w free to play with too so it's running within that range. No way to test exactly how much. For gamers recommend at least 400w PSU.
All 9x series cards are rebranded 8x with low power mode, native HD video capability, and slightly better processor. For that I think the 9x series is def better than 8x.
Silky smooth
- Pros: Quality midrange card that will simply get the job done right. It works flawlessly with Ubuntu 8.10 + nvidia's latest binary drivers. Temperatures stick around 45-52C under load. Fan noise is negligible. Just a great buy.
- Cons: None that I know of.
- Other Thoughts: As for people talking about how big this card is I have to beg to differ. I have a Zotac 9800GTX, now that is a truly huge card, twice as thick and around 2 inches longer. So to me this card is a midget. But if your used to to low end cards its length will be longer than your used to. Tight fit maybe but its all good :) BTW for some motherboards long video cards may block some SATA ports, and if your like me that actually use more than 4 ports, just buy a right angle SATA cable. Itll be tight, but it squeaks by under the card :D
Water Cooling =/
- Pros: It fits in my case ... barely.
It looks pretty sophisticated, and comes with a full card heat sink.
- Cons: Buyer beware!
This card has only four mounting holes, and they are not sized to any standard.
If you are wanting to water cool, you are pretty much out of luck, as this card has four holes and four holes only, as where most other cards have several sets of holes.
- Other Thoughts: While this is probably a good card, the fact that it has only four holes makes me feel wary of this card and it's manufacturer, as they are making it extremely hard on the user to install third party cooling solutions.
