My system is a 3.5(ish) year old C2D E6600, and I went from a Geforce 8600GTS to this card, and saw huge improvements: Overall Review: It might not be the fastest card around or most efficient, but for older systems, it's a great upgrade. Not as fast or efficient as some other similarly marked cards. I'm used to Asus cards that come with games/software/dongles. Very bare bones package with no accessories. This card is abnormally short by today's standards, so that should have been possible. I'd rather have had a LONGER card that uses a longer heatsink, than the extra THICK heatsink/fan they used. It runs off the PĬons: It still takes up 2 expansion slots, seemingly needlessly. Small size means better airflow inside the case. This also means you can easily access the PCIe eject switch, something I've had problems with in the past. So no issues with it fitting in your case. My CPU score also increased considerably after the upgrade, from 11860 to 19312! All other hardware and software remained the same. With my old Geforce 8600 GTS, my score averaged 1986 HDMI audio and video works flawlessly with my LCD tv for watching movies, and DVI works at the same time on my computer monitor. Doesn't increase the rest of the temps inside my case, and as a result, my room doesn't get boiling hot while gaming, like it used to.

Temperatures are great - 58*F under full load, 36*C at idle. The fan is totally silent, even under load. Pros: Very fast compared to the 8600GTS I upgraded from.
