Customer Reviews

• Stick to your Onboard...

• Rating:
• Review: If you're looking to enhance Graphics, I would recommend spending 10 or 20 dollars more, and get a 1GB video card for performance, my system is 5 years old, and it's onboard graphics is just as good if not better than this particular card. I was very displeased with the results. I would recommend An ATI PCI 1GB card if you're looking for functionality.

• Windows 7 Graphic Index 2.0

• Rating:
• Review: When I went to Windows 7 on my Dell Dimension 3000, I chose the PNY nVidia GeForce 8400 video card. It seems to work ok in both XP and Windows 7, but when you run the "Experience Index" in Windows 7, it only gives it a 2.0 in the Graphics area. I would have hoped for better, but I guess you can't complain for the cost. At least it gives me continued use of my Dell computer. I'm not a Gamer so I don't miss anything but I sure was surprised by the low rating. It works and the screens look good and I guess that's what really counts.

• PNY GeForce 8400GS 512MB video card PCI

• Rating:
• Review: My PNY GeForce card came softly packaged and not wastefully packaged. I got it early in the delivery window. I had a little difficulty changing out my AGP card for this PCI card, it requiredremoving drivers and changing the BIOS first - I got help from the manufacturer whose help desk whad polite and helpful (I only needed to call once). Once installed with the drivers the card worked beautifully.

• Choppy when used with PCI express card

• Rating:
• Review: I bought this card because I wanted to run a 3 montor setup and my board only had one pci xpress slot. There isn't a huge market for xpress x1 cards, so I had to go pci.
  
  My main card (Asus 9600gt) is running my main monitor (so I can still game) and my hdtv (so I can use it with Windows Media Center).
  
  This card that I am reviewing is only being used to run my second monitor (right next to my gaming/main monitor). I only use this card to drag folders and documents over to it. It stutters a bit when dragging and maximize windows. When dragging a document from the main monitor to this card's monitor it gets a little choppy. This is most noticeable when using the Windows 7 (x64) auto-maximize feature, when you drag a window to the top of the screen and it maximizes/minimizes it for you.
  
  I dont play videos, games, movies, anything on this card. I just use it to help spread documents and folders across the 2 monitors, and for that it works fine.
