Jo, then I'm probably the first who has rangetraut on the map ... I have so far not regretted my purchase, the card does everything I ask of her. And these are no wild shooting orgies with high-end ego shooters! I have cleansed the map in my living room PC. The small size and the passive radiator come one especially helpful, although I the cooler towards more Aperture something had to cut back on the map, because my audio was I / Os in the way. That's when my little Asus but certainly a special case and not in any case the rule. In any case, the shortening of hat-two fins to the Keeps the length really no negative effect on the cooling. This surprised me the other very positive. With 1080p playback of a movie, according GPUZ never went the temperature above 48 ° C and I do not even have a case fan in my Asus. It hums only Prozessorküler and the fan in the power supply ... that's it. Well, 2GB of memory, it would in retrospect not necessarily have to be because the card is usually running at only one quarter, but one knows never what the future brings. And the 7 euro more compared to a 1GB card I could get over. Audio and video are played back with me via HDMI (Fully functional! Miniarturisiert not). Determine any abnormalities. Important only the onboard graphics (nVidia 8200 with HDMI) was to disable the BIOS. That does not make it, comes when you start any display POST and you have only one picture if the driver is loaded in Windows. In addition, my Samsung LCD was only recognized only as a second monitor and displayed as Extended Desktop. By disabling the onboard graphics and a restart everything was as usual and runs just fine. Even with Google Earth you can zoom and pan liquid than was previously possible. Generally I feel the computer is running not so tough. I have run times Urban Terror (Quake 3 Engine ... I know that is aaaaalt) and found the performance definitely good enough.
One perhaps. The card and accessories were reingesteckt by the manufacturer in a cardboard without adjustment only. For delivery, I thought the card would be broken because it has so rattled. I opened the package at the post office in front of witnesses, but could see that everything was in order, have rattled around only the aperture in the carton. The card itself was packed again in an anti-static sheet and had no damage.
All in all, I can give a buy recommendation here. I would buy the card back and think for a 2GB model is the map quite a price / value for money. For people like the play so that the card will certainly slow (I have not tried) but according to other reviews with the GT520 chip would probably offer here More powerful cards.
