Buyer Reviews :
I have to admit I do like to play computer games, but I am not what you would consider a hardcore gamer. I bought this card to replace my MSI geForce 3 Ti 200 card. There was nothing wrong with that card but I am into other things as well and this card allowed me to use a dual monitor setup, while at the same time post decent results in 3d intensive applications.

Using nVidia's nView software, I can spread my desktop over two monitors and use two different applications on separate monitors at the same time. This was the high point for me. (This is also handy for surfing the web. When you enter a site that has annoying pop-ups, they get sent to the other monitor and do not disrupt your surfing.) This function is greatly overlooked by people who buy it.

Sure, Unreal Tournament 2003 flies with this card, but it was by no means a slouch on the geForce 3. If you are into games, this video card will definitely not disappoint, if you are more into desktop applications like Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, then this card is seriously overkill... For the same price you can pick up a geForce 4 MX card (excellent card for just running office software, the internet, etc., also supports dual monitors) and an extra 128 MB RAM.

Also, the lifetime warranty is a big selling point. There have been other reviewers claiming problems with PNY products and getting horrible customer support, but I honestly can't comment on this since the card has run fine since I bought it.

The reason I give it only 4 stars (4.5 really) instead of 5 is that the card comes with no S-video cable for connecting to a TV, and no DVI to VGA converter (these are minor points since you can buy these things separately for a few bucks apiece), but for the 170 smackers I paid for it, this should be included. Also, for any hardcore gamers, this card comes with NO games or demo software, sorry.

My system:
AMD Athalon XP 2100+
Gigabyte GA7VXRP mobo
512 MB DDR PC-2700 RAM
SB Audigy 2
60 GB Maxtor 7200 rpm
