If you want ASUS quality and DirectX10 support without breaking the bank, then the EN8500GT is the card for you. Built for Vista, it will handle it like you handle the aliens that get in your way, thanks to the 8500GT GPU from NVIDIA and the 512MB of on board memory. The VGA and DVI ports let you connect a CRT, a flat panel, or both. A DVI to VGA adapter is included. You'll definitely see the difference from your old card.
Take full advantage of some of ASUS’s unique features. Run the game on the main screen and have the Gamer OSD and Game FaceMessenger utilities open on the other. Gamer OSD lets you chat and manage your cards settings without exiting the game-overclock on the fly for maximum control of your game play experience. Or use Game FaceMessenger for IM style in-game chats.
What, you want to watch movies sometimes? Then hook your HDTV to the DVI interface or use the adapter cable for component video connection. Or, if you’d rather watch the movie on your PC then the Splendid Video Enhancing Technology kicks in, enhancing color depth and intensity delivering a cleaner, clearer picture. This is a great development from Asus!
