Okay, so I'm a real budget gamer - I purchased that card for only around 110 dollars. Real cheap for a simple budget graphics card. In fact, I think this is the best nVidia budget graphics card available. Read on...
PROS:
1.) Already overclocked, 500/700MHz core/memory speeds. Has an overclocking utility embedded in the nVidia video settings.
2.) Comes with Zalman fan and RAM heatsinks. Core temperature never exceed 50 degrees.
3.) Performs quite well with newer modern games.
4.) SLi Ready - pair it up with another same video card and you'll get more performance.
5.) DDR3 memory - much faster than the DDR2 counterparts.
6,) Overall performance almost comparable to the Geforce 7600GS.
7.) Nice and modern box design.
CONS:
1.) This card will not perform well with extremely high resolutions and might not do well with maxed out AA and Anistropic filtering. If you want a card to do a widescreen gaming, try the 7600GT instead.
2.) Shoddy user documentations.
3.) Zalman fan is a little bit too big - it took up one extra small PCI-E slot there.
Overall: 8.5/10
Good for budget gamers, complete Home PC and also will complement nicely with a nice Media Centre PC.
