Great OEM upgrade card!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to upgrade a Dell OptiPlex 755's card that couldn't handle 2 monitors well. I tried an Nvidia GT730 & the drivers a written too poorly to run any Nvidia card at this time. So I tired this & was relieved that it not only handles 2 monitors in 1080p well, it can run games! Not what I call a "gaming" card but can do the job with good results. I didn't buy it to game, however. This is an awesome upgrade to most stock desktop video & doesn't break the bank. Note the orientation & room in your case. This required modifications to fit in this application. Also be sure to use a 500w power supply or the Corsair TR2 430W or higher, also available as an upgrade or OEM replacement.

With a 250GB capacity, this Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E250B internal Serial ATA hard drive provides plenty of space for your digital media. TurboWrite technology delivers rapid read and write speeds for efficient performance.

After a bad experience with a Sandisk SSD from new, I bought this instead. Night & day difference without a huge cost increase. It comes well packaged despite the small box. It comes with software, I prefer to use Seagate's Acronis tool for drive migration. The read/write speeds are extremely fast & I've had zero issues thus far. Mainly a boot drive, it is more than ample storage & performance for the price. This brand retails a few bucks more than others but it well worth it. 479mb/s in a Windows speed test with all regular programs running.

This 430W power supply supports most Intel® and AMD processors and is compatible with NVIDIA and ATI/AMD graphics cards for wide-ranging compatibility. Built-in fans automatically adjust speed according to temperature for low operating noise.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This a great all around power supply. I buy them fairly often for mid-range PC builds. It supports most mid-range video cards, all boards. The SATA connectors are spaced out a bit too close, so prepare to get creative. Plenty of Molex connectors, 1 floppy connector, 24-20 pin connector, 1 8-4 pin CPU connector, 1 PCIE connector. Features 22amp 3.3v, 18amp 12v+ 1, 18 amp 5v+, 17 amp 12v+ 2 & a 5 year warranty.

Bought this for a customer who had an aging GeForce 8400GS. Stopped his lag, runs cooler, & has way better graphics. Small size, so it fits anything, even has low profile brackets. HDMI support, 3D as well.

Enhance your computer's performance with this Antec 77095 120mm CPU cooling fan that offers a 56 cfm airflow volume to effectively dissipate heat. Three blue LED lights provide a stylish look.

I run 4 of these in my own unit. Mine run at max speed, so they are a bit noisy, however a fan speed controller can stop that if you choose or plug it into the motherboard & the board will regulate speed based on temps. The lights add a nice touch as well.

Antec's Formula 7 thermal compound protects your CPU even when your rig is running on all cylinders. Since little of the CPU's surface actually touches the heat sink, you need a solution that isolates and facilitates the transfer of heat. Formula 7's nano diamond particles minimize the distance between heat-conductive compounds and gladly take on an overclocking environment, optimally performing between -50?C and 250?C. To keep your system cool and your CPU functioning comfortably, pick up Antec's Formula 7 for a diamond-caliber solution.

I've been building PC's since 1996 & this thermal paste is the best on the market. A bit pricey & you only get a few uses per tube, but it doesn't dry out & cake like the white stuff. Expect at least a 10% drop in cpu or gpu temps.

It may cost more than Magic Jack, but well worth it. Chrystal clear calls, no extra fees or yearly ones unless you add services. The basic service offers plenty for my needs.

If you need a cheap but effective power supply in a pinch, this one's great. 20-24 pin connector, 4-8 pin board power, pcie 6 prong connector, powers most mid range video cards.

Dual monitors?
Will this card support dual DVI monitors? I noticed only one DVI connector.
Yes, you need a splitter cable, sold separately. Applies to all video cards.

Is this thing compatible with OpenGL 2.1?
Probably not, because that's the "dark ages", lol. It may, just try it. Some old games still work on my XFX 6950.

Why can't I get a max resolution (2560 x 1600) as in product advertisement?
Your monitor may not support it. Not enough info about your rig to give a clear answer.

grand theft auto 4
can this run gta 4 without lag
It should, but lag often means your internet speed or setting the game graphics too high. This is an entry level gaming card.
