MSI GeForce 8400 GS DirectX 10 N8400GS-TD256 256MB 64-Bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: had a hard time finding a card that would work on my ubuntu 64bit system - this one went in without any effort... that's my kind of install :)

Cons: it worked so well i did not get to tinker with it

Overall Review: stay away from your xorg.conf file - you do not need to touch it... install - use display to set the monitor and spanning...

Pros: Great price for a great card. Dual-monitor output works very well. Very low profile and power consumption compared to other cards. Unexpectedly good performance for FPS, great performance for most MMO's. I bought 6 of these cards and every last one of them is running splendidly. 5 of them are used in an office setting for dual monitor displays and they can run photo manipulation and programming development software with perfect ease. The last card is used in my home PC for gaming. I can play Team Fortress 2 on almost max settings (No Anti-Aliasing), and the same thing can be said for Left4Dead. It runs very well and makes little to no noise in the cabinet.

Cons: None whatsoever, except that you might want to update the NVidia drivers as soon as you install the card.

Overall Review: With the low price tag on this card, I hadn't expected a whole lot. If I could play TF2 on lowest settings with minimal lag, I would have been happy. However, it has far exceeded my expectations. I've been able to run several games on High settings. This card has been one of the best purchases I've made all year. I'm planning on buying another soon for my smaller desktop so that it can edit videos.

Pros: Good, quiet card for use in an HTPC or for light gaming. Good value for the money.

Cons: Bumps my Windows experience rating down to a 3.4, but I wasn't expecting a high powered video card, so that's ok.

Overall Review: It's a great card for the HTPC I built, an Athlon 5200 based system (from parts lying around) with 3 gigs of RAM running Vista Ultimate x64. It runs Vista no problem at 1920x1080 resolution and so far has run every HD movie I've thrown at it beautifully, including a couple 1080p video files over 40 gigs! It's not a high end gaming card, but for an HTPC system, anything else is almost overkill.

Pros: This is a cheap, basic graphics card that gets the job done. I previously had a XFX GEForce 7900GT card but it went kaput with the monitor flashing intermittently that made my desktop unusable.

Cons: Much weaker graphics/games performance than my old card but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: The new graphics card has fixed the strange sounds coming out of this PC as well with the old graphics card.

Pros: It works fine -- no issues. I wanted a second monitor so I got this card. I'm not a gamer so I don't know how well it handles games.

Cons: None come to mind.

Overall Review: Prior to the recent MSI WIND ultraportable laptop, I'd never heard of MSI. The strength of the reviews on the MSI WIND laptop helped sway me to get an MSI graphics card. By the way, make sure you have an available PCI Express x16 slot in your computer.

Pros: Works great in an old IBM Thinkcentre with a P4 3Ghz CPU running Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu recognized it immediately and I was able to get it running dual LCD monitors with no problems. I have a 22" Hanns-G LCD on the DVI port and an old ViewSonic 15" LCD on the VGA port.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Thanks nVidia for being such a great Linux supporter!

Pros: This is a good card to get more performance then your typical on-board card. I can run cod4 with it on medium graphics with low lag. You get what you pay for.

Cons: Not for extreme gaming. I've had for a month and no issues.

Pros: Cheap (in a good way). I can run any mid-range game fine. Supports my 22in 1680x1050 fine.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I blew an 7600GT during a power surge. I didn't have onboard video so I bought the cheapest (yet best rated) PCI Express 2.0 card I could fine. I am very satisfied the results... I don't do that much high-end gaming anymore so this is perfect for my needs. Not a gamer graphic card, but very very good performance for light usage and the occassional game.
