Axle3D Nvidia GeForce GT 520 2GB DDR3 PCI Express w/ VGA + DVI + HDMI Silent Video Card - Low Profile READY

Did not expect too much and was really hoping to extend the life of an old Dell Vostro 220s. First, it vastly improved the guality and frame rate when streaming movies. I play some games on it; World of Tanks; and get about 70-100 FPS at low graphics setting. On medium I get less than 24 FPS and moves like molasses however the graphics quality is amazing, unfortunately it is unplayable at that setting. Fanless is a plus as it keeps everything quiet and temperatures never exceed 87F inside the case.The only con I have is that the PCI-E connector seems to be a fraction taller than normal connectors. At first I though it was the faceplate not seating right or it being higher than normal but it wasn't. I switched the faceplate with my old card; which seated properly; and had the same results. Not a deal breaker, just surprised it did not seat flush with the back panel. Again, it sits about 3mm higher and for that I took off 1-star for it.

I purchased this card for an older computer that I had just upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Professional. I needed a card that would support the Windows Aero features in Win7. I did not want to purchase an extremely expensive card, since this older computer is a second computer and is not used daily, except as a music server to stream music ripped and remastered on the hard drive to collective independent music systems throughout the house. I have been using this card now for a few months and it has never failed me. The resolution is super, it is quiet (being fanless) and its colors (when adjusted using the nVidea control panel) are spectacular. I would purchase this card again without question if I had another computer that needed upgrading. I highly recommend this card.

Inexpensive and capable, I now have awesome graphics on my Linux home box. It comes with a half-height slot cover, darned convenient. One problem on Arch (a cutting-edge distro, compared to Enterprise Red Hat and such) is it refuses to blank the screen properly, but I have not hammered on this problem, I simply turn the monitor off when not home.Pro-tip: check your distro to find out how to enable 'Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"' to really amp up performance.

I bought this to help in running Flight Simulator. It doubled the frame rates over the on board chip. So, I was happy with it. It installed pretty fast and pretty much worked well from the start. Good card.

Easy install. Satisfactory control options. For a basic card for some higher impact colors this is a good deal. limited monitor configurations , have had installed for 2 months now and have had no issues.

for a low-profile computer, for my church, to run children's church videos. It is very hard to find low-profile cards with enough oomph to handle videos. This one works well and was the right price.

all depends on what u run, high end gaming no, personal and medium games and video its ok, i got jitters on it on half life 2.

easy to install
