MSI GeForce 9500 GT DirectX 10 N95GT-MD512-OC 512MB 128-Bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Works fine with stock 300 watt power supply even though it suggests 350 watt on specs. Now I can play newer games that wouldn't work on original G33 onboard video.

Cons: None

Pros: Very noticeable improvement compared to onboard graphics i was using. Brought windows 7 graphics and gaming graphics scores from 3.9 and 3.2 to 4.8 and 4.8. Quiet Fan. Runs pretty cool high 30s. Has output for HDMI cable. For the price after rebate its hard to do better than this card.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Yes, go with GDDR3 if you're into serious gaming and are willing to shell out quite a few more bucks; For everyday use and watching movies etc, you'll be pleased with the card.

Pros: 25 bucks after rebate. (assuming everything goes ok with rebate) Plays at 720p perfectly. Using with a Dell 530 with stock power supply and XP. No problems with power or drivers, runs great and quiet.

Cons: None at this price.

Overall Review: Yeah it has DDR2 but you cannot beat this card if your trying to stay cheap. Twenty five dollar total upgrade.

Pros: Integrated fan, mid range priced. Other then that, it's just a decent low end to maybe middle of the road graphics card for the casual gaming/household computer/gamer.

Cons: None I can think of.

Overall Review: My other thoughts are in regards to the rebate/s offered. At the time, the rebate for this one when I bought it was near the end of it's offer. I think like within a day. Then, by the time I got the stuff I ordered, got it to the person building my system, then got all the paperwork and got it together, and by the time I'd gotten and found the invoice (in all my emails since they didn't send it with my order, then by the time I found the CORRECT rebate / rebate form / rebate number, I was limited on how long I had to get it into the mail (I was rushed to meet the post mark deadline). Well in all the above, I'd sent in the wrong paperwork. I'd sent in my order confirmation rather then the invoice. And yes, MSI REJECTED my rebate of a measly $15.00 because of it and WOULD NOT allow me to resubmit it. That said, pretty pathetic on MSI's part if I do say so myself. So for those doing a rebate, make sure to have the right rebate as well as your invoice when dealing with MSI.

Pros: I haven't had this card long but I'm impressed. The price is right and the card gets the job done. It's very small and does not require an addition PCI-E power source. Highly recommended.

Cons: None

Pros: Decent Card. Bought it for my HTPC.

Cons: Much better cards available for only a few dollars more, this one is only DDR2 memory.... which I did not realize till it was too late :(

Overall Review: IMPORTANT!!! Get the MSI N9500GT MD512 D3 Instead! This GPU is running DDR3 @ 1600mhz, though the core clock is only 550mhz. Just throwing this out there so that others out there will make a much better decision on the options they have. I would have much rather purchased that card from the start.

Pros: good looking card. doesnt need a power supply to power it up.

Cons: fan is a bit annoying but thats ok

Overall Review: make sure your motherboard is PCI-e 2.0 to be able to use the card to its fullest.
