Nice little card
Pros: I was looking for a fanless video card with decent specs that would allow me to do 2D work quietly and efficiently. This card fit the bill wonderfully. Installation was smooth and uneventful, and the price was very attractive.
Cons: For my purposes, none. It's a basic, well-made, dedicated graphics card. The heatsink does take up two slots, but I had plenty of room.
Overall Review: As people have already pointed out, this is not really a gaming card. It serves more than adequately for 2D work. Since I am not interested in HTPC, video encoding, etc., I can't speak to the card's suitability for those purposes. I have not checked its temperature, but it appears to be operating properly (I have good case ventilation). I did not use the drivers/software supplied on the installation disk but instead downloaded new drivers directly from Nvidia's site, so I had no problems there.
