Summary: 5 Stars
I had read other reviews posted here previous to purchasing this Graphics Card that boasted just how well it worked for such an amazing price. I have to admit, it's stellar for the pricetag. Most of the reviews were concerned with basic uses, however, so I wanted to create a review for someone like myself who was working on a budget to come up with a good gaming machine, but worried that "cheaper" might not cut it.
I play the online game World of Warcraft pretty extensively and purchased the following computer setup:
* AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core
* 640GB hard drive
* 7GB of DDR2 memory
* 64-bit Vista Home Premium
* NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE 128MB
The graphics card was near useless, giving me perhaps 6 FPS in a majorly populated city and around 3-6 FPS during a 25 man raid. This was with all the settings turned down and virtually no UI enhancing addons. After installing the 9400 GT 1 GB, I'm able to use all those beautiful addons, turn all my graphic settings to max and get around 19-38 FPS in a majorly populated city, 40-70 FPS in a normal, noninstanced environment and around 25-45 FPS during instanced, 25 man content. I played a long time at a low framerate, know how frustrating it is and I have to say, after installing this it's like playing a whole new game. I can't heap enough praise on it for how little I spent.
Not sure how helpful this review will be to those who play other online games, but WoW seems to be a pretty decent hog when it comes to resources. I hope this was helpful to at least one other curious person.
Digital camera Review: Excellent value!
Summary: 5 Stars
This graphics card really brought my computer to life. I have a 15-month old HP running Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I don't do any high-graphics stuff, but this card really helped web sites load faster and videos to play without skipping. An excellent value for the money!Digital camera Review: Fan broke down in less than 3 months
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this last December so I can hook up my monitor and my samsung HDTV. It was good when it was working but in less than 3 months, the fan was very noisy. I unhooked the power cable of the fan and the noise disappeared but at the end it stopped working. So I'm staying away from video cards with fans because it's just another thing that can break down.
