I bought it to replace my card originally a fairly basic NVDIA although my PC is a Medion for "gamers". It fits easily on the PCI Express port is not very cumbersome. The graphical performance index of Windows 7 jumped 1.0 (ooh!) 5.6. Display is nicer, more fluid. No significant difference in contrast for photo editing, but I probably should still go upmarket? My budget wasnt agree. +)
