Rating + 3 Seems a bit hot


Pros: 1x PCIe form factor is awesome - definitely a plus for people needing it (like myself). Not a bad card, just didn't work in my situation so back it goes.

Cons: NVIDIA says it pulls 21W - that's LOW. It was way hot, tried running it in a IBM ThinkCentre S51 (< 300W PS) and it wouldn't boot. Couldn't fugde around it to get a BIOS screen, even with latest BIOS. Not

Other Thoughts: The ThinkCentre's love the PNY GeForce PCI 5200 256MB. I should have just ordered it first (I knew it worked at least). Guess that is what I get for being graphics greedy!

Rating + 4 Entry-level professional card.


Pros: Works as advertised.

Cons: Leaves incomplete window renderings on my machine. This does not have to be the card, it could be some misconfiguration.

Rating + 4 It works, too!


Pros: Uses single PCI-e x1 slot and panel position
Leaves remaining PCI slots unblocked

Cons: Does not coexist with onboard Intel video controller which must be disabled in hardware manager before HIS will work.

Other Thoughts: Used in Dell Optiplex GX520 with XP for Labview software application development and Office application support. No 3D stuff or games.

Rating + 5 Solid Card


Pros: The card is a PCI Express 1x, so it will fit if you already have a card taking up your 16x slot already as in my case. I have a Dell Precision 390 that uses the 16x Version of this card, so this card is a perfect pair for it (one set of drivers needed.) The performance has been more than adequate for the workstation type work that I do. I now have four 1280x1024 monitors on my desk.

Cons: I have noticed that sometimes (not sure what triggers it yet) when switching to certain applications that I use, I get a weird window flickering on the two new monitors that I've attached. It doesn't happen very often, but I thought I would mention it.

Other Thoughts: Just a random note: If using Windows XP, and you want a slick 5120x1024 desktop background to span evenly across all your monitors, set your background mode to Tile, and set the left-most monitor as your Primary monitor. The image will then fit like a glove across all four monitors.

Rating + 5 Video for Dell SVR


Pros: 2008 Server has only VGA onboared video. However, had no problem setting this PNY video card up. Recognized my Veiwsonic VG2230wm 1680 x 1050 automatically which hasn't always been with other Windows OS, especially with the 64-bit OSs.
This Dell T105 server MB doen't support X16 only one X1, one PCI and two X8 expansion slots. And X8 cards are only for NIC RAID and SATA which run $700 - $3000!

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Wish there was X8 Video, since there is only one X1 expansion slot.
