Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Needed more info Comment: Thought I knew what I was doing technically speaking but found out otherwise when I received the product. Will have to upgrade hard drive, ram, and motherboard for this to work, so it was a more expensive project than I originally thought. It was probably mostly my fault, but I think the requirements for this upgrade could have been more clearly stated. I'm sure it'll work fine when I've upgraded my upgrade. Customer Rating: Summary: Crashed Just After A Year Comment: I installed this card in a new HP dual core AMD machine. After 13 months the card crashed and was worthless. After trying everything to revive it I sent a request to PNY for a replacement under their 3 year warranty. They said they couldn't find a record of my registration and since the card had reached end-of-life they refused to replace it. So apparently, 13 months is end-of-life on these cards. I would not recommend this card unless you plan to replace it again in a year. I have replaced the card with a different manufacturer's 9500 Nvidia card with 1 gig video memory for the same price as this card. Do some research and you'll find better deals out there. I won't be purchasing PNY products anytime soon. Customer Rating: Summary: Plays all the games but noisy fan! Comment: My only complaint is that the fan can sometimes start to make a loud buzzing sound. I have a Dell Dimension 9100 so it's rather easy for me to open it and tap on the fan, and surprisingly it isn't chronic so I haven't yet thrown it out the window. Plays all the games though. Was really inexpensive... for about $50 it does the job. Customer Rating: Summary: Great! Comment: I had a Geo Force FX 5500 and this was a giant step up for my gaming. I am using a simple E-machines T5048 and this made the graphics just awesome. It fixed the lag problems I had in Company of Heroes. Now if I can just get Qwest to up my DSL speed. Customer Rating: Summary: Unreliable video card - avoid it Comment: Bought this video card some 3 months ago to replace the existing card on my Dell PC. The fan on the card started to make noise two weeks ago. The noise level got worse over time. Finally, it became unberable so I took it off my PC. Tried to contact the manufacturer without success. An inexpensive card but unreliable - avoid it. More Reviews
