5 out of 5 stars Great   November 24, 2008
Chase A. Matthies
The item is very good for people who do not play hard core video games such as Crysis or Warhammer. If you like oldies but goodies. this video card is the right one for you. Get this or a 8000+ series


4 out of 5 stars Good performance. A little bit high price   November 1, 2007
Luis Alberto Rodriguez (CARACAS, DTO FEDERAL Venezuela)
The card has good performance, although the installing process can be a little long and it is better to download the latest drivers. Also, I found (later) that Amazon's price is a litlle higher that other online stores.


4 out of 5 stars Great price and performance, fan rather loud   June 28, 2007

This card is better then its much more recommended 7300GT cousin. The fan actually works quite well and the video card never breaks 70 C even at full load. The only problem is that the fan is quite loud for such a low end card. It made my whisper quiet tower hum constantly with the whoosh of fan noise.


5 out of 5 stars Product works great with Vista   June 14, 2007

This graphics card was an extemely easy install under Windows Vista. I just disabled my onboard video, shut the computer down, installed the card and rebooted. Vista recognized the card and installed drivers automatically.

I had purchased a DVI to HDMI adapter previously from Amazon ($12), so I didn't use the 7 prong S-video to component video adapter in the box, although I probably would get good video from that as well. I use the video principally to watch recorded TV from HDTV over the air and basic cable and its quality is great. It also delivers better resolution thatn VGA for my use of the Interenet.
