1st impression (big card, terrible cd)
Pros: works, cpu down from 100% to 35-70% xp auto detect although it lists 2004 as the date updates on the nvidia site (from xp auto detect drivers) packaging is a marketers dream (less cd)
Cons: internet video still jumpy pricey for legacy setups cd is a nightmare and kinda unnecessary
Overall Review: dvi on a 10 year old machine? s video is limited hulu streaming fps (guessing up from apx11 to apx45)jump from geforce2 mx440 to this card. hoping to run itunes video I wouldn't recommend the cd as card is xp plug and play
16% better than an OC 4200 hd
Pros: 3984 3dmark06 more than double of onboard from my GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard has OC tool which i will use pairing with a phenom 945 (currently a sempron 2.7) low wattage
Cons: Not a great card barely worth the outlay
Overall Review: was under $40 used my onboard for 3+ years
I've identified a few issues
Pros: Better than a G series from 3 years ago (major manufacturer) One star off for pricing (seems like alot compared to my 3050ti laptop) but worth it Goes pretty good with AW2521H
Cons: Not sure by how much especially for my primary game card sag (slight) getting a brace audio for movies is white noise in edge while using digital output (one of the reason i like this pc) it occurs in my external sound card as well so it may be an edge thing...but that is odd i can't really see the lights in my setup
Overall Review: It was an effort to sift through products and prices to find this the market is different than the last time I got 1 kind wish I still had the Ryzen 580 rig, but this takes the sting out.
Easily my favorite and nice sounding
Pros: USB power Works
Cons: My other ones went on the fritz
Overall Review: I like the build as well as the sound the led is bright works for audio out when wanting sound out of a cd player form pc
ni looking, nice sounding, and a bit power hungary
Pros: Takes all power from a 5.1 amp sleek Crisp highs Satisfying purchase after over a decade with 5.0 or 5.1 speakers. Nice sound-bar alt. Good speakers (individually) Lots of speakers (included) Only 2 speakers (easy to look @) Handles all of my amps 600 watts with ease
Cons: Wiring harness is car amp deckesque (perhaps too generous) Cords are an overcomplicated solution (although encompassing) Calibration is a bit of a guessing game
Overall Review: Got in the early afternoon and was not finish with wiring harness (soldering) until mid evening. This was taking at a brisk pace as i custom setup a work desk using a box with holes for lining up all of the harnesses 10 wires. I mixed up the rear surround wires so had 2 switch those @ the amp.
Sleek and precise unit
Pros: BackLight when u hit the buttons Kwh and current usage
Cons: not sure what the leakage reading means some features are less useful/intuitive
Overall Review: useful for monitoring power
