I own a Dell Dimension 9150 (3.2 GHz P4 w/4 GB RAM) that was shipped with an ATI X300SE 128MB card, which had one VGA/one DVI out. I use two monitors, an Optiplex Q19wb 16x9 and the OEM Dell 17" monitor.

Installing this card in my x16 PCI Express slot was simple...I powered down the PC, removed the old card, and installed the new one. The card ships with two DVI to VGA adapters, since the output for the card is DVI, these adapters are needed for normal VGA operation...something not noted in the product description at my time of purchase, and I almost bought an extra adapter, but I am glad I waited to find them in the box!

I booted the PC, and my system recognized it immediately, and searched for hardware...insert the enclosed disc, and within a few minutes, the software installed. The secondary screen was not available, and the original screen was skewed on completion...I rebooted, and the GForce software came up upon Win XP SP3 load.

Wow. This video card improved my gaming graphics by a whole ton, 55 FPS average on COD4 with 2x AA 1280x720 resolution. 50 FPS average on COD5 1280x720 no AA. On need for speed, 40 FPS average with settings to the max. On Flight Simulator X (which is a real big hog) 30 FPS on High settings. The video card temperature never went up over 70 degrees centigrade, which is very good. The card is rated for a very high temperature before breaking. The card came with an overclocking utility, profile settings for each program, and real time video card stats. I fully recommend this if you have a tight budget, but are itching to have better graphics and performance. This card doesn't need a whole lot of power supply and is SUPER QUIET.

I bought this card based on the reviews I saw here.
It has more features than what I currently use, I also got this card
to be able to use it in an updated/better/Uber computer at a later date.
my last card burnt up/exploded/or something, due to me overclocking an
already overclocked card.
this card Exceeds my current computers abilities which is a good thing.
Ive always had good luck with Nvidia, I'm a gamer and fly online
flight Sims with up to fifty other people. frame rate is an issue and
can be limited by your connection speeds as well as your video card.
so if you eliminate the issue on your end you'll solve 90% of your problems.
It comes with some great utilities which enable you to set your own
parameters - shaders, core speeds, fan speeds,memory speeds as well as
allowing you to monitor the GPU temps.
AND links it to your G15 keyboards LCD screen.....ingame.
but I allways take these reviews... Read more
