This review is from: PNY GeForce 9400 GT 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card VCG94512GXEB
Pros:
*Fairly low power requirement
*Decent graphics quality
Cons:
*Price is a bit high for an older card
*Cheap fan broke after a month of use
Overall Review:
I got this about 2 years ago as an upgrade to the integrated GeForce 6150LE on an old Dell Dimension E521. With a 300w power requirement, it is the best graphics card I could find without having to upgrade the power supply as well. At the time it was an uber upgrade and ran Oblivion on high graphic settings and generally made all my games run smoothly and look nice and shiny.
Even 2 years later, it is still running just fine with no errors at all. I can play Skyrim, Total War: Shogun 2, and Civ5 smoothly on lower settings.
My only complaint is that after a month or so the built-in fan started making a horrible noise and eventually stopped spinning completely and had to be replaced.
It's a decent card but fairly dated now; you can probably find something better for a comparable price.
