Advantages: Cheap and reliable

Disadvantages: Slow GPU

This card is ok, but its not, by any means, the best card out there. It won't compete with the PCIE cards now available, and if you do have a PCI E slot on your motherboard I would reccomend going a PCI express card since these have higher bandwidth.

However, its still a good card. Capable of playing some older games rather well as well as play DVDs.


During its 4 year lifetime this card worked rather well, and I did play many games as well as run CAD software such as Solidworks on the computer without much hassle. I did have some problems with rendering larger images and mainly photorealistic images of my projects. This is quite acceptable though since one could not ask for so much from an entry level card.
Overall, it is not a high performance card but for entry level computers, there aren't many better cards out there.

Summary: It was good some years ago but not anymore
