EVGA GeForce FX 5500 DirectX 9 128-P1-N320-LX 128MB 64-Bit DDR PCI Low Profile Video Card

Pros: This card is amazing. I bought it as a replacement after I had to RMA two refurbished GeForce FX5700LEs and much to my suprise, it actually outperforms the 5700LE. Probably superior parts as EVGA is a known name. Also, the price on this item is fantastic. Thanks Newegg!!!

Cons: I was a little dissapointed to had recieved my new retail box already opened.

Overall Review: So if you are looking for a card for gaming and you only have PCI slots like me, then forget the high price tag of the 5700LE and go with this baby. As always, Newegg got it here a day early. Newegg Rocks!!!

Pros: GeForce FX 5500 with 128MB DDR RAM. Low profile. Has great picture on a 32" tube TV. Comes with a DVI port with an adapter for VGA monitors, plus a S-Video port, which is what I use.

Cons: Its a PCI card, but that is all I could use for the PC I put it in. Basically no cons that I could see.

Overall Review: I just needed a PCI video card for my custom built DVR system that I have for my TV. Have not played any games on it as it is just for my TV. Like the title says "works great for what I needed".

Pros: - Great choice for older PCI interface... this card is one of the best performaning cards for PCI at 128mb - eVGA stands behind their products and has good US presence if you need support, warranty, etc. - Product was truly plug and play for me in my Dell Dimension 3000 - Nice upgrade that will be needed if you plan on running Windows Vitsa

Cons: - None that I can think of... other then PCI is slow and out dated... but that is no fault of this card... fault of my old motherboard.

Overall Review: NVIDIA supports Windows Vista better/faster with their older generation PCI cards then ATI does.

Pros: I threw this card in a computer running SuSE Enterprise Desktop 10 and using the Desktop Effects enabler, easily enabled XGL/Compiz. It works great for desktop effects. I also liked having the DVI to VGA adapter included.

Cons: I'd rather the DVI-VGA adapter be a dongle, but that's a trivial thing.

Pros: This card is actually pretty cool. It's quiet and small, and it only took me about 2 and a half seconds to get everything hooked up. I play wolfenstien ET and after putting in this card, the game works sweet. I put in a ram upgrade prior to that, and it only helped with the loading times, but the card made the in game play practically flawless on a very decent res setting. I don't know much about other cards but for the price and what i saw for a difference in performance, i'm wicked pleased.

Cons: i don't quite know about how long i can expect the card to last, but i suppose for 50 or 60 bucks, i'd invest in one of these every year anyway.

Pros: Fast shipping as usual.

Cons: Low-profile bracket does not fit. Bracket is for VGA, and card has DVI adapter.

Overall Review: Did not test card, as I cannot fit it into my case since the low profile bracket cannot be installed.

Pros: great upgrade from onboard vieo in a Dell Dimension 2400. Not very loud. Driver went in just fine under XP home

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is not a gaming rig; just an every day user rig that get's a little game play. This was a good upgrade for this system.

Pros: Solid card - works just about anywhere. Installed card into a P-III running Ubuntu 7.04 (switching from the onboard ATI Rage XL), kernel detected the new card and switched to it without a restart. Beryl runs at almost full bells and whistles. Also enabled s-video out by default. another solid product from nVidia

Cons: not too many. I bought it because it was a PCI card (no AGP on MB). nVidia might consider throwing a little more manpower behind their Linux drivers, but the card itself has no issues whatsoever.

Overall Review: Pretty pleased with it. It is performing exactly the job that I expected it to, and it performs it without any problems whatsoever. Now I am looking at a smoothly-animated planetarium on my living room wall (as opposed to stop-motion one). Proof that the GPU can make an older computer do new tricks!
