Good HTPC video card indeed!

Strengths: Fanless. Plays most games.

Weakness: GPU gets little hot.

I hate noise from the computer. It gives me headache. I wanted noiseless (impossible, due to hard drive) computer. I was able to assemble very silent PC with passive CPU heatsink and silent PSU. There are not many good graphic card with passive heatsink that plays most games. This video card was my best choice for performance and noise-level. This graphic card plays most game in the market. It's...

Good HTPC Video-Card

Strengths: Passive cooling; good HTPC performer; HDCP; HD Video decoding

Weakness: Poor documentation; no HDMI; no audio integration

I am building a HTPC, and wanted a cheap, but capable, video card for displaying High-Definition video. I also wanted it to be silent, as the HTPC would be in the bedroom. I was hoping for an HDMI port, but those cards were more expensive. Installation was a bit challenging, as I only had my HDTV monitor as the display unit, and it takes a bit of time for the HDCP stuff to communicate back and...

Good fanless video card

Strengths: Fanless, play most of the game, support directX 10, support windows Vista

Weakness: Fanless, get hot when playing game

This is a very good low end video card, but support most of the game, at the same time it supports DirectX 10 and windows Vista. Installation is very easy, it's very quite because of its fanless. I don't have HDTV or blue-rays to test its HD support. For the price, it's really a good buy. I'm very satisfied with it and would recommend it to other people.

very reasonable display card!

Strengths: good price

Weakness: still not for the game

It works very well with my newly bought HDTV. I can get a super wide full screen without sketching when I choose dot-by-dot detection at my computer. It is the awesome part! I do not hear any noise from the card, and so far, I think it is a good card with this price. However, I tried to play some computer games on it. It is still not comparable with other higher Geforce cards.
