What can you write about a graphics card in this price range?

The packaging is very neat - antistatic bubble bag plus umweltfrendliche overpack. The scope of delivery is fine - graphics card, driver CD plus 2 Slot brackets for low profile slots / Small Form Factor PCs. Printed manual nobody will expect at the price well.

The card is used by me in order to operate an older PC can further whose graphics card had given up. The installation was straightforward, as the driver installation under Windows 7. The card runs in dual monitor mode (VGA / HDMI) completely as desired. HDMI I have not tried it yet. The Windows 7 Experience Index has to install these graphics cards slightly increased (4.6 Graphics / 6.2 gaming graphics).

The heatsink of the card is expected to be quite hot, but in my case is not a problem. My mid-tower case has directly at the level of the graphics card an opening with case fans in the side wall. The warm air of the graphics card is relatively well blown out of the housing before they can ensure there warming. The temperature in the enclosure is about 40 degrees, which is at a current ambient temperature of about 28 degrees OK. Both hard drives are at 50 degrees, which to me is a bit too much personally, but according to Western Digital for these disks is alright.

In a narrow SFF enclosures that will certainly look worse. In there, I would recommend this video card probably not block even if the supplied Low-profile slot brackets would allow.

For gaming capabilities I can not say anything. CAD and CNC simulation run but satisfactory and that is also not quite undemanding. HD videos on Youtube run better than the previous graphics card. Even HD movies at 720p cause any problems. Higher resolution (1080p), I did not.

I am satisfied with the purchase. In order to keep an older PC running or to give him a little more graphics power, the card is a good choice. The price-performance ratio is right. It's quite pointlessly in a PC that maybe is worth 150 euros to put a 100 euros graphic card.

For a DIY HTPC I would imagine the map, because the HDMI connector and the quietness. However, then at least the housing should be well ventilated.

Shipping was really fast. Even so I am very satisfied.
